A disturbing incident occurred on April 2, 2026, at a hospital in Patna, Bihar, where a dance team from Arunachal Pradesh was subjected to racial abuse while attempting to use a public washroom. The hospital attendant demanded identification and referred to the group using derogatory terms such as 'Momos,' 'Chinki,' and 'Chinese.' The encounter, captured on video, has sparked outrage in the Northeast, particularly in Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh, with many calling for swift action from local authorities, including Bihar Police and Chief Minister Pema Khandu. The incident has reignited discussions about the discrimination faced by Northeast Indians, who often encounter racial slurs and biases in mainland India. This is not an isolated case; similar incidents have occurred recently, including violent attacks against individuals from the Northeast. The video highlights a broader issue of racial discrimination in India, revealing a persistent struggle for recognition and acceptance among Northeast communities.
