Are we people nationalist or just faking ourselves to be one? So what is nationalism does it teach us to be a racist or to discriminate between our countrymen? No this is not nationalism; this is a kind of racism on the basis of region, caste, language etc. The people who believe in regionalism consider their own countrymen as foreigners still they say that they are nationalist and patriotic in true sense. Let’s take the instance of our north eastern states we discriminate with the people of our land just on the basis of there facial features and language. Its true if we go to Mumbai or Delhi or to any other city of north India or south India people out there mention students or workers from Arunachal,Manipur,Sikkim,Nagaland ,Mizoram ,Meghalaya, Tripura ,Darjeeling as CHINKIS. Where this word came from to discriminate with our own people? It’s really true that we have very little knowledge about our north eastern states and up to some extent we can blame media for this. Forget about the problems and culture over there many of us not even know the capital of north eastern states .As we all know media is more interested in showing personal likes and dislikes of film stars or the cheap statements made by politicians in
parliament instead of showing the viewer the problems in manipur,nagaland or mizoram.If some bomb explodes in imphal then it’s going to be appear on a running strip on the bottom of your TV screen but what’s going on between deepika padukone and yuvraj singh will come as breaking news ,what an irony .But we can bridge this gap between our people by stopping this discrimination and giving respect which they deserve .So please stop discriminating on the basis of region, language,cast,creed before its get too late to repair this damage.
Be a true Indian.
