People from the North East still face questions in their own country.
The North East of India is changing fast. Once viewed as a remote corner, it is now emerging as a major economic frontier — booming infrastructure, rising GDP, new investments, and strategic connectivity under Act East Policy. Yet despite this progress, millions from the region still face daily questions about their identity: “Are you Indian?” “Are you from China or Nepal?” This video explores that painful contradiction — rapid development on one hand, social invisibility and prejudice on the other.
In this episode we examine:
How North East’s GDP and infrastructure have transformed in the last decade
The role of Act East Policy, highways, railways and airports in unlocking growth
Cultural and historical blind spots in national education and media coverage
Policy failures, social stigma, and the impact of laws like AFSPA
Practical steps needed — media representation, inclusive school curriculums, police training, and stronger anti-discrimination measures
Why this matters: Economic progress alone isn’t enough. True integration requires respect, recognition, and everyday acceptance. Until a student from the North East can walk into Delhi or Mumbai without feeling like an outsider, our vision of “Unity in Diversity” remains incomplete.
