Nido Tania, a student from north east was
beaten to death in New Delhi by some shop keepers. Shop keepers
made some comments regarding Nido Tania's hairstyle and race that stirred up
the quarrel which finally ended up in the death of Nido. Its not new for the
people from Seven Sister States (Arunachal pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur,
Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura) getting humiliated from citizens of MAINLAND
INDIA. Because of various socio political reasons the number of rebel outfits
demanding liberation were more in these states. All those rebellion movements
were successfully destroyed by armed forces of India. At a time when the
rebellion is fading we have these type of incidents which will further
allienate the people of seven sister states from mainland India. Nido was son
of congress MLA; that might be one more reason for more coverage in media.
Otherwise usually the mainstream media of Mainland India never cares about the
events related to north east part of our country. This was evident when the
media neglected the naked protest of Manipuri women against indian army with a
banner 'INDIAN ARMY RAPE US'. Here is a letter that was published in Justice
for Nido Tania facebook page.
