NE Indians as Chinese ?
Morung Express Editorial | Along Longkumer | February 9 :
It appears to be that discrimination, violence or killing of people from the NE is always dealt through a reactionary approach. There is a lot of hue and cry created in the immediate aftermath of such incidents, only to fizzle out, with at best some stop gap arrangements been made. Several measures suggested in the past remain on paper. In fact, in the aftermath of a similar incident in 2012 at Bangalore where a young student from Manipur, Loitam Richard was killed, many pertinent issues were then raised including some very good suggestions, which we should perhaps revisit.
While providing security, fast tracking investigations or punishing the guilty is a matter of right for every citizen, there is a need to add other ideas, specific to the issue at hand. The Justice for Loitam Richard (JLR) campaign had some good ideas such as to review existing education curricula. The suggestion given to undertake a sustained media campaign in order to highlight the multi-cultural and racial composition of India is much needed as it will help to positively change people's perception towards NE people and thereby avoid stereotyping and prejudice and consequent crime as a result of it.
