Assam Tribune | IANS | Kolkata, Jan 14 ()
Poets, researchers, photographers from the northeastern states of India on Sunday decried the stereotypes the rest of the country have of them and said the 'northeast' tag attached to them often becomes a cause of discomfort.

"I feel I have a certain amount of discomfort with the term northeast and also a sense of belonging," she said. Sobam pointed out that it is not for the marginalised to tell others about what stereotypes are being carried about them and how to get rid of them.
