The unspoken reality of Racism in India | Reena Ngurang | TEDxXIE

- Social activist-feminist, Ngurang Reena has been fighting against racism and discrimination faced by the minorities in India, mostly towards the people of the North-Eastern region.
"People aren't born with racist ideas or attitudes," says Reena, onstage at TEDxXIE 2019. "Racism is something that is learned or acquired." In her eye-opening talk, Reena reveals the unspoken evidence of how racism has been killing youths across India- and offers resolutions on how it can be dealt with.
Ngurang Reena is a former Assistant Professor of Miranda House, Delhi University. She is currently perusing her PhD research from Centre for European Studies, School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi. Recently she was a Joint-Sec candidate for JNUSU election 2018. She is a strong social activist-feminist from Arunachal Pradesh and constantly fights for rights in her state. She together with her sister, is the founder of Ngurang Learning Institute, an organisation working towards empowerment of tribal women in Arunachal Pradesh. She is also into spoken word poetry and often uses poetry as a tool for her activism, to raise awareness about the issues in her society and of the country. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

It is so sad to see this. Having lump in my throat watching this... please send our love & respect to her ~ from A Malaysian Indian
She is my friend

Sad part is most of the Indians who behave in this way will probably never watch this.
I thought the very same. Very sad times
well i as a north Indian watched it but again i have similar views like her

Totally agree with you
INVITE ALL NORTHEAST CITIZENS TO COME TO SURAT, VADODARA, AHMEDABAD, RAJKOT ETC. IN STATE OF GUJARAT. YOU WILL FIND GOOD PAYING JOBS AND NO DISCRIMINATION. WE HAVE THOUSANDS FROM ODISHA, SOUTH INDIA, UP, BIHAR, RAJASTHAN, MAHARASHTRA ETC., AND WILL NOT GO BACK HOME EXCEPT ON VACATION, MARRIAGE ETC.

India discriminates based on :
1. Caste
2. Race
3. Color
4. Religion
5. Region
6. Class
7. Gender
The list goes on...
More the diversity, more the discrimination. If America had some green or blue people, they'd also be discriminated against. Its the same with India. Its not a thing of "this country" its "we humans". Its sad to say, but its just the truth.
Tell me more as you said the list goes on

You very rightly said " India is not India without diversity, without different cultures and different languages"

This problem will only be solved if there would be special focus towards education. Those who are educated know about every state, their Language and everything. Otherwise people don't even know that Assam is in North or West.
Why r u including world in this matter? This is our family problem we will solve together. World will take undue advantage as usual.
I lived in Delhi approx 7 years and understand ur pain and ashamed too due to slang behaviour.

@@hla260 India will only move if THE WORLD knows. And this isn't even a new thing that's happening in India. Just recently in South Delhi-Two Nagaland guys were beaten to death by 6 or 7 local men just because they look different lol🤣 Did our news cover about this? NO!!! We need attention from the world to show the true color of India so that government and media will take serious.
I'm Tamil from Bengaluru, I can relate to what she says. We have suffered similar situations during many riots concerning water sharing, language, etc. The only way is to keep talking about this and teach our children to do the same and act, in whatever way to make changes possible.

I'm here too after that. Analysing and making a report about what sections of our society are the ones being victims of racism.

Same.
Indias racism is a huge problem. Muslims and Kashmiris are victims of abuse and torture.
Let's hope China will sort out the Kashmiri issue.
Feel for the marginalized communities. Daily oppression cos of rasicm is very difficult.
I am from South Africa with a history of Apartheid. It's painful. 16 June 1976 was massacre
Its a national holiday now. To remember the victims
I am concerned about racism and discrimination not only in I did it the US but in the whole world; despicable topic
North east people have more genuine nationalist feelings, are humble and honest individuals not crooked or cheating crooks like majority.. Love the region & North east is pride of India
Well said mate
Spread the good vibe to your neighbour
Akshay Bhushan yet tukde tukde gang combines Northeastern states with pro pakistani separatists. While the reality is totally different, ask real northereastern people. Maybe also because Mainland indians aren’t interested in northeastern people’s views... They more interested in branding them “different” hence discrimination.
Yess agreed on the first point and partially agree on the 2nd one, but it's not that everyone forgets about the great Gorkha Regiment / Bhaichung Bhutia / Danny or the fact that the cleanest village most eco friendly place is NE.. Though The current BJP govt surely is amending the wrongs of past .. Jai Bharat!! Long live India
thankyou and its true most of the trubal people are honest and humble and helpful too

This brought back so many memories, spent 8 years in New Delhi, met the most amazing as well as the most scary people. As a northeastern sister to all my brothers and sisters from north east, please make friends outside of your circle too. I met my best friends from Delhi, kerela and UP from work place and apartment building. Greet that uncle/bhaiya/aunty who's shop you frequent everyday, talk to them. Be respectful and mindful of their culture and they will respect you too. I say this because we don't do this at all, and often times we are defenseless and have no one on our side. Racism is unfortunately everywhere. We are victims as well as the perpetrators and that is the sad truth.
North Eastern India is most beautiful part of India with most beautiful people.
When I was in Delhi, the landlord refuses to return my deposited money for rent, when I was changing my apartment.
I quickly dial 100 delhi Police and they help me without any hesitation.This happens three times at safdarjung and delhi police helped me get back my money and the landlord that told me tuuu fas jawoge agar police ko call karenge toh,apologies at the end. All I have to say is be polite and just be honest and humble, all will fall down before you.
I am delhite and the landlords did same with me,but never got money, lucky u😂
@@sydneydiaries8470 you should have complained, it's your right.I am from Manipur bdw. The police are surprisingly very co-operative and they didn't take this kind of problem lightly.

I can totally relate to this although I am not a north east Indian. I am from east of India i.e. Bihar and my boyfriend is Assamese. I get to hear from people "Oh! tune momos pata liya", "Accha tera boyfriend chinki hai" etc etc. It is not funny. It is very offensive and I really not appreciate it at all. I am not sure how to reply them back. But also I don't care. I have the best "Man" in my life. I am happy and I will fight against all the racists. More power to you Reena Ngurang!

Racism in South India is no different from North India. A young boy from Shilong came to work in Coimbatore for his living. He was a hairdresser in Naturals. He seemed very stressed and silent so my friend and I decided to talk to him since we knew he has come from far away and has no one to talk to(we had talked to other NE hairdressers for the same reason, every NEhairdresser we have talked to had similar issues but this one was extreme). Initially, he wasn't answering much but later he trusted us and told us everything that he has faced until now. An old lady who cleans the floor calls him mental. He was beaten up by his manager. He only eats once a day and he didn't get his pay for the past few months. After all this conversation the old lady came from another room and told me to stay away from him because he is mental and not to believe anything he said.

All of it is so hurtful, I love my India but not this idea of India, where has the 'unity in diversity' gone? She has done her part, now we should do ours and spread her word through all possible platforms, I'm gonna share this on all my social media platforms and so should each one of us here.

Stop racism against northeast Indian people
please dump inner line permit required to visit seven sister states
@PussyIsHere Yes, it is right and Dual face, hahah keep it up
Dear PussyIshere There are lot of issues India is facing, there are lots of people who worked in NE, all told that geographically it very good, peoples are very good by nature, but the policies of the states are not good , your own leaders are eating your share , as per state policies you make yourself forbidden to rest of India. If Nice lady also told "Inner Line Permit (ILP) is an official travel document issued by the concerned state government to allow inward travel of an Indian citizen into a protected area for a limited period" then the whole representation turn to actual reality , look dear now it is time to change the mentality
@PussyIsHere I think ILP is a necessity and that's why they are different from the rest of India and can maintain their culture. I am a North eastern ,their culture and traditions are the same as before just because of ILP. And I want my northeast culture to never vanish by bringing all the people in here .so if you want to go there just overcome some restrictions that's it and it's not that hard
@PussyIsHere I am already here😂
My father was in army.i lived in army quater for 22 years
And i meet people from all back ground south indian,north indian north eastern ,west.
And their was no racisam their even we use to share each other dish receipe,when they have some different item in thier house we also tell to bring for us form their state when they go their state in holiday.
People will able to understand each other if they live with each other
Exactly true. I also have friends from all over India and because of that, I know what how diverse our country is and how important it is to maintain brotherhood and respect each other
Such shame ..." We didn't look Indian enough" ...that broke me
The speech is so true the pain in her voice makes me cry..
reality is mainland india's people doesn't look asian

But no one wants to look like an indian, being called an indian is an insult today
@@user-jf2nd so what ??
India has literacy but not educated....! So sad to hear. Largest democracy 😑
What is the meaning of literary? Just reading and writing. Even a 5th standard can do that. So if say about proper education, they are not even 10 percent.
@@Anandvmishra I think he meant literacy although it's quite similar... Non illiterate people are those who can read and write a language in the correct form, from what I know..
I'm from Manipur and I seriously don't get how indian mainland's don't know Manipur or any north eastern states. Like how y'all pass your class 10?
Yeah... That's true. But one more thing to remember is that the population of North East states, they are very less as compared to other states.
@@Anandvmishra you're right but unless you don't study India map, you're supposed to know every state there is in the country.
Anand Mishra what is there to do with population? What a poor mindset you have .. it’s all about the area , number of states in India just like how many alphabets are there ? And fyi We don’t need the population like the Uncivilised mainlanders ..
@@celebnewschannel3072 Stupids like u won't understand that and I would not like to explain that to you either.

Thankyou soooooo much 💓
Mizoram, the only (Indian)state to be bombed by the IAF(Indian Air Force) in March 1966, am i surprised? Not really🤷 but i am grateful to Lord that many of our ancestors who survived that, are with us today, including my Grandparents🧡
Much support for this strong woman🧡
Time to tell the world how Indian Air Force raided and bombed indigenous people to take control of their territory.
Beautiful speech by a beautiful lady. So sorry to hear these things happens in India. Be courageous.

Welcome to the new India
Many people are unaware of the fact that NE people are too Indian
Once I was travelling someone asked me from where am from
I say Manipur than I was shocked to hear his reply
Manipur Country!!
Similar incident happen to one of my fren whose RA @KMC Manipal, Bangalore during one of her conference some delegates asked from where she's from when she says Manipur they give her a surprize look and said oh..Manipur Country where is it? near China ?!
Even educated people are unaware of us being Indian than how is it possible for others..
I remember in one KBC's season Mr.Amitabh asked where is Dimapur some give China ...Burma ... No body knows it's in indian state Nagaland
And eveyone is talking Incredible India blah..blah..blah...
Don't care if they say they are from Punjab or haryana or Mumbai just reply is it near Pakistan ...
@Sonu
To be honest We the people of NE doesn't need a New recognition it's time for the rest of the people to open up their
mind set regarding NE
If it's still..then the so called ADHAAR or whatever is meaningless to us..
And stop seeing NE REGION as only one type..there are lot of communities..having unique cultures..tradition... religion...belief apart from Hinduism, Christianity or Islam .
They sure didn't study Geography in elementary! Or maybe they failed😆 poor people
They didn't learn Geography well during school days or forget it today, perhaps.
@Euree Tontang.....look old generation peoples know very less about indian parts becoz its too diverse nation.....even north or south peoples dont know very well about each other.....everyone is busy in thier life earning bread and butter.....new generation kids know about north east and thier culture
"India is my country and all Indians are my brothers and sisters"
Took this pledge every morning in the school assembly since kindergarten, without even knowing what it meant.
Now that I know what that pledge means, I feel sad to know that many Indians don't even consider us Indians.

This is absolutely true.
I’m white but I could see how important the skin colour for Indians is.
When I visit India people come and ask to take pictures with me because I’m white and blond.
Everywhere adverts for skin whitening creams. Fair skin considered beautiful and dark skin undesirable.
It’s so bad that even parents discriminate their own children with dark skin 🙁
You have stated this accurately. This is the truth. Not all are like that though, but maximum population have such narrow mindset 💯
Watching this makes me happy and sad. Lots of love from Tamil Nadu.

I am a Bengali but I live in NE region.. And I love my North Eastern friends.. I face Racism from them too as I look difrent.. Many of us have been tortured too bcx of racism..
Racism is a big problem in India.. In every corner..
I hope people of India will stop doing Racism.. I am with u in this war against Racism..
No one should face Racism anywhere..
It hurts more when an educated person does that..
Btw ur still alive...😁😁😁
exactly my problem....my bestie's (nepali) brother sister always made fun of my nose n my features bcz i looked different in them....same in south india...people scared me by staring continuously bcz i looked different
True.. the racism is mutual. I hv worked there.
I have been to Arunachal pradesh, the day i went there to give a state gov exam the examiner said! you won't get selected because you are not from northeastern.
I enquired in the department and there were south Indians who weren't given a single promotions in 20 years.
Even the arunachal college friend (studied with me in TN) said i should go there as i will face discrimination.
This was really heartbreaking
Saumen Pol Well said👍
Most people in South Asia believe in "Might is Right". With increase in prosperity their prejudices don't diminish but get legitimised.
I don’t remember in what video I saw this, but I do remember seeing footage of an Indian man who said something to the effect of “the person with the strongest lawyer is right” with regard to the law.
Justice is supposed to be blind, but I think this man with his misguided understanding of legality crystallized what is in practice true everywhere; the person with greater wealth has access to the better lawyers, who are capable of shaping an outcome that flies in the face of what is truly just.
It’s anguishing to think that a matter of pretension is the only thing preventing everyone from acknowledging how human law in any given place operates on the principles of might being right!
oh dear
I lived in Delhi 20 yrs, and saw the racial attacks on our North-East brothers & sisters. On behalf of every India, I apologies for all the harsh time u had to face in this country where we take pride in our unity in diversity.....
A change is coming and I hope we all will get the equal right and respect our constitution has guaranteed to efery single citizens of this country!!!!!

If the system grant her the right to have a quota- than that’s her right. That sad thing is that these people were treated badly the the mainland Indian even though the Constitution grant them equal right.

Paulina Moricette human nature being what it is. Tribes always turn against outsiders. Birds of a feather flock together.
Gagan Singh
Yes. However we all have tribal ancestors. The evolutionary instinct that causes most humans to fear snakes which Carl Yung called “ the collective unconscious “is also at play in causing fear of other races or tribes. This is more prominent in males. It is eventually softened by empathy but still hides beneath the skin, even in the so called civilised. Hence the germ of racism is in all of us. I feel fortunate in that I am able to empathise, usually.
Racism is lack of knowledge .
I am proud of northeastern state ,we are more broad minded more excepting.
And regarding looks , I think we have the most unique and magnificent look. Every outfit suit us.

How should we take this further? When we are not going to discriminate anybody with his race? I never did which are this elements present in society? When this will be stopped further? And will get an equal representation in every aspect of India.
@@rupeshjadhav4713 I can't say anything about country level but surely you can talk with your friends regarding this issue like I do and this really helps as once they know how the other person feels they don't repeat this behaviour at least in my case.
Specifically same I do but it can bring change? Or we need to educate every dealer of property and Job employer. There is no equitable representation for them in the country. Like I can exemplify When we choose Mrs India for Mrs World they get crowned one by one statewise and other states get three credits.
