Dear Sir,
First of all, congrats for your very biased and aryan chauvinistic article. I called it bias because, you haven't done your homeworks.
Do you know that there are 7 north-eastern states in INDIA? Each state represent different cultures and many other smaller clans and tribes. Certainly, way of life is totally and extremely different for each group or community.
In Manipur, specially in plain area meitei/ manipuri, we practice very conservative vaishnivism religion. Have you ever assessed how conservative we are?
I am sure that you had no knowledge of what we practice and you are generalizing whole north-eastern girls as like an easy target
or easy prey for prostitution.
My friend, in our house we are not even allow to cook meat or chicken, my mother even doesn't eat eggs.
We don't allow anybody inside the kitchen with shoes and the cook must wear clean clothes. Even in a very chill winter morning our female members will enter the kitchen only after taking clean bath.
What more, they prepare the puja (religion material) for the elders.
Do you also know that, we have Tulsi plant in each courtyard of manipuri (meitei) household. To clean and practice religeous practices are compulsory for a married girl.
In our tradition, married girls do not interact or freely mingled with other male members of the household and if necessary communication is required than they will cover their head and talk only from certain distances, meaning very little male contact is allowed in social practice.
So, how come you'd generalized everyone of northeast community as a prostitute or easy going girls.
How about Delhi girls?
How about Mumbai girls?
How about Bangalore girls?
How about Malayalam girls?
I am not linking anyone but please don't get generalized the things, everyone is different and individual choice doesn't mean community representation.
Please do analyze and see the reality before targeting any particular group or community.
How do you rate yourself? You are thinking that you are the best, please forgive me my friend you'd tarnished image of whole community without even looking at the proper identity of individuals/groups involved.
Please don't called all Muslims are terrorists, because they are not, it is individual, who are responsible for their action. We protest strongly against such a bias thoughts or theory.
We are very very cultured people. Please pay a visit in our house in Manipur.
You have to know, why people want to be separated from an independant India? It's your kind of attitude belittling whole community.
You definitely owe an apology to the community, I hope your sense will prevail and apologize for your messy article.
Thanks, with regards!

The quote from Mr. Vikram Kumar of
MailToday
The next time a cocaine addict in Delhi orders for a fix, it's unlikely that an African man will be standing at the door. Instead, it'll probably be a young, trendy Northeast Indian girl. And for a few extra thousands, she'll put sex on offer as well.
