The Danny Denzongpa Model for the North East

Dear Vinod,

I’m glad you came up with this post. I liked your suggestion. Let me tell you that there is a huge demand in mainland to know more about the states in north-eastern India.

May I add one more to the bio-social aspects of the pleasing NE guys? They have got ear for music. Brought up in hills, they are clean and think fresh. We here have cluttered mind. I hope I am not far off the mark.

Dear Vinod,

No plotical party will give a damn for NE until they increase their population and makeup for 80-90 seats in Loksabha.

Thanks,
Yash

Dear Vinod sir,
Emotional integration of these 8 states is vital for the idea of India.
Though i’d beg to differ on one point – don’t say North East. By saying this u r viewing entire area as a different entity.
I’m sure in some time government will take few more welcome steps like subsidised transportation to and fro for the area.
Keep writing, This blog is vibrant.

Dear Vinod
You have touched upon a soft side of the issue. Here is the serious side.
Rajeev has recalled above how badly his college mates from Manipur were treated by others. This example is typical : Delhi-based newspapers have written a great deal about the hostility , prejudice or unfriendliness with which these fine, well-behaved young men and women from the north east are often treated by people in Delhi, including apparently educated youths and even older people. It is obvious our education system and social environment have not taught our students what it means to be an INDIAN , also failing to impart to them even minimum civic sense and awareness of social responsibility The education system has just been teaching students how to pass exams, not how to be good citizens in a multi-cultural, multi-linguistic, multi-religious country that India is.. In Track-II , therefore, we need to fix our education system, besides doing a whole lot of other things to make people of the plains more north-east friendly.( Having more icons like Danny Denzongpa and Prashant Tamang will certainly help, but will be just one part of a large equation.)
In Track-II, we also need to address very quickly the issues of acute economic backwardness and lack of employment opportunities in the north-east, problems which lie at the root of the insurgencies.

Vinodji. i saw your latest post on Pakistan and could guess your usual ‘love thy murderous neighbour’ and moved on to this post which was quite nice. i think tourism to NE should be encouraged in a big way. with its pristine forests and i guess less urbanization it would be a great relief for people from the peninsula. the NE guys should also be encouraged to work in the Retail industry. i think they will fit in well. they seem to be overall more presentable and fluent in English.
even in this region your favored people are as usual upto no good. but i am sure you have a nice explanation / rationale for that Sethi saheb the man with the ever forgiving heart. chalo koi nahi . Greetings on Dusshera

I would like to ask just a couple of questions. Reading the story spun out by the victim’s friends-they saw a white person emerge from nowhere, came to face one of the 9members in the group- this poor victim, asked the time and shot him. Why did he not pick others?Why there was no abuses hurled at the victim, which happens in a racist situation. Sounds too neat to me. Wait until the Jury panel hears the arguments, and examine the evident. I suspect a prior incidence before.

apart from the issues raised by Mr De sarkar, one thing that is neglected here is the part played by the Indian foreign office or the complete lack of it in the first few days. The family of Anuj had to write an open letter to the Foreign Minister for help . the foreign office of India and its cosulate staff in U.K. has let down not only their duty but also all the NRI’s. It has shown again that rather than look after their own citizen’s, they are too busy looking after themselves. Shame on them.

One thought that INDIANS HAVE BECOME A CITIZEN OF AN INDEPENDENT NATION, AND SLAVERY HAS BEEN ABOLISHED, not if you read the above GARBAGE dished out by a complete dick head who is paid by HT to write such puerile trash.Take his lines
“And, in fairness, it should be noted that more Britons are murdered and/or raped in India than the other way round”
Really , perhaps he would like to furnish some statistics.
DOES THE DICKANKAR , know about a certain STEPHEN LAWRENCE.
Bloggers just type the name in google as see what it throws up.
I have lived in Britain , for far too long and being a surgeon interact and know far far far more than this DICKHANKER.
The fact of the matter is , there is a DARK UNDERBELLY OF BRITAIN.
People see London and think rest of UK is like that . No it aint . The whole of NORTH , part of wales , THERE IS A HUGE UNDERCLASS. Their life is worse than a beggar in INDIA. AND THERE IS MASSIVE RACISM IN EVERY FACET OF BRITISH SOCIETY, and more the economic downturn , more pronounced it becomes , flamed by the tory party.
In india you may be killed or robbed , BUT COLOUR OF SKIN PLAYS NO ROLE
IN BRITAIN COLOUR OF SKIN PLAYS A BIG BIG ROLE , DECIDING THE ODDS WHEN COMING ACROSS A WHITE TRASH.
As for Peter Hunt’s inspector Morse like analysis , let me say having killed one the Psycho fled , why Anup Bidhwa was victim BECAUSE HE WAS DARKEST presumably , the same question Peter Hunt may like to ask WHY STEPHEN LAWRENCE WAS MURDERED WHILE WAITING FOR A BUS IN ELTHAM AND NOT HIS FRIEND, DYWANNE BROOKS STANDING BESIDE HIM
