Print media and political activism

Since the beginning of print media’s interest in covering North East India, CNN IBN or till recently Times Now TV Channel have highlighted racism which has victimized youths of these regions; who are staying in mainland Indian states. I recollect Professor Emeritus TK Oammen who spoke a year earlier on Social Exclusion and inclusiveness at Hyderabad University’s Ambedkar Auditorium and I quote, “For the first time in India’s history in this globalized era, it’s the fair skinned Mongoloid race’s North Easterner who is a victim of racism, we as academicians need to study this ongoing phenomenon from a new perspective as this has become an inevitable reality”. (Late) Nido Tania’s case has become a forerunner in fighting against racism at New Delhi since few years ago till date.
