Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome. Rosa Parks
"OK ,SO U ARE FROM KERALA, YOU ARE A MADRASI. THESE BIHARI RICKSHAWALAS. MOMOS ARE MADE BY CHINKY'S. YES IF YOU ARE NORTHERN INDIA YOU WILL HEAR THESE LINES. IN NORTH INDIA ESPECIALLY IN DELHI YOU WILL HEAR THESE LINES. AS DELHI IS MINI INDIA, HERE WE FIND EVERY KIND OF PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT STATES. DELHI DOES NOT BELONG TO A SPECIFIC STATE OF PUNJAB OR HARYANA BUT IT IS A MIXTURE OF DIFFERENT STATES. AS PUNJABIS AND HARYANVIS ARE MAJORITY IN THIS STATE SOMETIMES OTHER CULTURES FACE DISCRIMINATION. THERE ARE 4 TYPES OF PEOPLE IN DELHI- HINDI SPEAKING, MADRASIS,BIHARIS,CHINKYS. DUDE EVERY SOUTH INDIAN IS NOT A MADRASI. NO NORTHEAST PEOPLE ARE CHINKYS, THEY ARE INDIANS. WE STEREOTYPE LIKE THIS. WHEN WILL THIS COMPLETELY STOP.
YES BIHARIS DO LOW LEVEL JOBS LIKE SWEEPING, BEING A RICKSHAWALA, DOING HOUSE CHORES AND ALL, BUT THEY ARE ALSO EQUALLY IMPORTANT. WITHOUT THESE PEOPLE WE CANNOT LIVE. THEIR ACCENT MAY BE FUNNY, THEY MAY NOT KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH , THEY MAY HAVE LESS MANNERS, SO WHAT , AREN'T THEY HUMANS. EVERY TIME YOU SEE SOME MANNERLESS PERSON OR SOME IMPROPER ENGLISH SPEAKER .YOU MAKE FUN OF THAT PERSON BY SAYING ARE YOU A BIHARI AND THEN THERE IS A LOUD LAUGH. YOU MAY NOT KNOW THAT INDIA'S FIRST UNIVERSITY NALANDA UNIVERSITY WAS IN BIHAR . AT THAT TIME IN 1200 CE IT WAS THE EPITOME OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE WORLD. NOW IT HAS BEEN REOPENED AGAIN BY THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT. BUDDHISM ORIGINATED IN THE LAND OF BIHAR. BIHAR PEOPLE ARE BLAMED FOR INCREASING CRIME RATES AND UNCONTROLLABLE POPULATION. SO ARE THEY THE ONLY ONE GENERATING CHILDREN, REST ARE BUSY WITH THEIR HIGH CLASS LIFE. HUH. BIHAR IS CALLED A "BEEMAR" STATE . THE CALLERS ARE THEMSELVES BEEMAR. I HAVE SOME BIHARI HOSTEL FRIENDS, THEY ARE REALLY SWEET, INNOCENT AND INTELLIGENT. THEY ARE REALLY GOOD IN MATHS. THEY HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO BOW DOWN AND TOUCH THE FEET AND THEY ARE CALLED MANNER LESS.
NOT EVERY SOUTH INDIAN IS MADARASI. MADRAS WAS THE FORMER NAME OF TAMIL NADU AND FROM THEIR CAME THE NAME MADARASI. KERALITES ARE CALLED MALLUS. EVERY SOUTH INDIAN HATES BEING CALLED A MADARASI. YOU CAN CALL US SOUTH INDIANS. WHATS THE PROBLEM IN IT?. SOUTH INDIAN StATES HAVE THE LARGEST LITERACY RATES IN INDIA AND KERALA BEING ON TOP, I FEEL PROUD OF THAT. NORTH INDIANS ARE A DIE HARD FAN OF IDLIS, DOSAS, SAMBHARS AND CHUTNEYS. YES WE ARE ALSO FAN OF NORTH INDIAN FOODS. I HAVE ALSO FACED SITUATIONS WHERE I WAS CALLED MADRASI AND MADE FUN OFF. ONCE I WAS WALKING WITH MY MOTHER , SOMEONE FROM BEHIND SAID SEEING US, "AIYO, IDLI". I FELT REALLY SAD. MY MOTHER ALSO SAYS THAT IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT , MORE PREFERENCE OF GIVING SEAT IS GIVEN TO HINDI LADY THAN TO A SOUTH INDIAN LADY. TELUGUS FROM ANDHRA/TELANGANA, TAMILS FROM TAMIL NADU, KANNADS FROM KARNATAKA AND MALAYALIS FROM KERALA ALL OF THEM ARE CALLED MADARASIS WHICH IS REALLY OFFENSIVE. YOU SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH BECAUSE YOU ARE FROM SOUTH , THAT'S WHAT I HEAR SOMETIMES. DUDE NORTH CAN ALSO SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH. WE DON'T ALWAYS SAY "AIYO RAMA ". EVERY DARK SKINNED IS CALLED A MADRASI. WHEN WILL THIS INTERNAL RACISM STOP.?
IN DU THE STUDENTS FROM NORTHEAST WERE CALLED CHINKYS , BECAUSE THEY LOOKED LIKE THEM WITH SMALL EYES. THAT'S REALLY RACIAL. THEY ARE PART OF US . SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC TALENTS COME FROM NORTH EAST. YES THEY SELL MOMOS, WHICH IS THE TOP TRENDING STREET FOOD IN DELHI NOWADAYS. THEY ARE REALLY SWEET AND FRIENDLY PEOPLE. AFTER THIS DU INCIDENT LAW WAS PASSED WHICH GIVES 5 YEARS OF JAIL TO ANYONE WHO CALLS A NORTHEASTERN CHINKY. WAS A LAW REALLY NEEDED HERE. HAVE THE DELHITES BECOME SO RACIAL. WITH IITs AND IIMs COMING UP IN NORTHEAST, THERE IS DECREASE IN RACISM. IN DELHI OF IF THERE IS A FIGHT INVOLVING A NORTHEASTERN, NOBODY SIDES A NORTHEASTERN, INSTEAD THAT PERSON IS BEATEN AND MOLESTED . ONLY A NORTHEASTERN STANDS FOR A NORTHEASTERN , BUT WHY, WHY DON'T WE STAND FOR THEM, IF THEY ARE RIGHT. 74% FEEL THAT DELHI IS RACIAL. THE LACK OF INTERACTION IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASON, WE DON'T KNOW THE CULTURE OF NE. WE DON'T HAVE MANY NE FRIENDS.
THIS RACISM NEEDS TO BE STOPPED AND INDIA NEEDS TO BECOME AN EXAMPLE OF ANTI-RACISM.
