Some other possible steps
♤ Unless there is legal protection for the north easterners, their rights will always be trampled by those who have no regard for their existence. An anti-racism law is an important measure that the Indian government must take.
♤ Racism is a social problem and it can only be solved at the societal level. This can be done through awareness, campaign, educating the mainland people about the unique history, culture, languages of north-east India.
♤ A great initiative to end this disjuncture of knowledge would be by introducing more information about the North Eastern region or the southern region, or any other regions which have been ignored since years, into the curriculum of state education boards and other central educational boards, especially NCERT books.
♤ The responsibility of the police also lies in registering an FIR and then taking quick action in cases of racial abuse.
♤ Another important step could be to create sustainable employment opportunities in the North Eastern Region to prevent the distress migration of the people from north east.
