“Ask the people of Northeast India how many states there are in India, what the capital of each state is, and which communities and ethnic groups live in each state. But you people don’t even know how many states there are in India.”

“It is not acceptable to insult someone from Northeast India by calling them names like “Chinese.”He is a son of Tripura, a proud northeastern Indian, and a human being who deserves the same dignity, safety and respect as anyone else. His appearance is not an invitation for your mockery, and his identity is not your permission to humiliate him. Before you gang up on someone and make fun of where they come from, educate yourselves about the land and the people you are insulting.”
