Description
Prejudices against those who appear different run deep in Indian society. This unfortunate fact has once again come to the fore in the murder of Nido Tania, 19, a college student hailing from Arunachal Pradesh. He died of possible internal injuries after being thrashed by shopkeepers at a busy market in South Delhi. It is an obvious hate crime that owes its origin to deep-rooted prejudice against citizens from the country’s northeastern States. And four days earlier, according to a belated report, two Manipuri women had been taunted and beaten up by residents in another South Delhi locality. In both instances, residents, traders and passers-by did not intervene. The police seem to have treated it as a minor altercation and failed to see the larger underlying issue: the potential for violence in a neighbourhood that is obviously hostile to strangers. Acknowledging the validity of the point made by students and migrants from the northeastern region — that discrimination against them must end in the rest of the country — will be a good start.
