From the population perspective on the present scenario in Manipur

India’s population is increasing rapidly in urban areas due to massive scale of job opportunities and diverse educational prospect in universities and other educational institutions leading to perilous migration issues of consequent overpopulation. There are cases of refugees from Bangladesh dwelling on the low roof and shabby houses in slums of most capital cities. These people hide their true identity and imitate cultures and language managing to learned Hindi and Bengali for the very purpose of beginning their lives in India. The same is true for the Northeast states who share boundaries with Bangladesh and Myanmar. There is also apprehension that after 50 years migrants living in slums will increase dramatically especially in metropolis of the country.

Racial discrimination & intolerance of diversity

It appears that racism runs deep in Indian psyche. A girl from Manipur was subjected to all kinds of harassments at Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi at the hands of a semi-literate immigration official just because she looks different from typical mainland Indians. Yes, people of the North Eastern region look different from mainland Indians and for too long they have been at the receiving end of racial discrimination and harassment. It would not be any exaggeration to say that people from the North East (both students and professionals) have been taunted and haunted by racism at different cities of India, most prominently at Delhi. The semi-literate immigration official may be a patriot but he is definitely a bigot and a racist to the core. The official may have statistical knowledge about the number of Indian States and it was this question he threw to the Manipuri girl to ascertain her Indianness, but ostensibly he has no idea there are people in India whose looks are different from mainland Indians belonging to the Aryan and Dravidian stocks. That is why, we call him semi-literate. Unfortunately, racism seems to have afflicted vast majority of the Indian people if hate crimes, rapes, murders, physical assaults and discriminations, all fuelled by racism seen in different parts of India which are/were directed against people from the North East are any indication. These humiliating incidents tend to project that racism has been ingrained in the worldview and thought process of majority of the Indians, particularly those belonging to Aryan stock. If this is true, the oft-repeated national slogan ‘unity in diversity’ will only remain a mere rhetoric.
