Racism against Northeast Indians

Racism against Northeast Indians refers to racial prejudice, discrimination, physical violence, sexual harassment, and systematic exclusion directed at people from the eight states of northeastern India: Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura, when they migrate to live, work, or study in other parts of India, commonly referred to as the "mainland." The phenomenon has been documented in academic literature, government reports, legal proceedings, and journalistic accounts. Despite constitutional guarantees of equality and freedom of movement under Articles 14, 15, and 19, and periodic political attention following high-profile incidents of violence, the problem has persisted into the 2020s.
