Discrimination against North Eastern People

video 1.mp4

Why do the majority of Indians think of north-easterners as ‘different’?

Is it because they look different? Is it a language barrier? Is it because they are geographically far east? Is it because their regions are economically not

as vibrant as the rest of India? Is it because they are culturally different?

Result

For Indians in the North East, their country's growing economy and expanding influence in

the world stage is of little use.  They are being pushed to economic and cultural

poverty.

Solution India needs to starts more industries there. Open up the more of the best educational

institutions in that part of the country. They have to feel that they belong to India.

RISING SUN: THE BUDDING TALENT

Superior soft skills, a good command over English and commitment, a good mix in various sectors.

Almost 25% of the workforce in the voice BPO segment across India is from the North East.

Rich in fresh music the NE is marching fast towards making its presence felt in the national and global arena.
