Nido Tania (son of Arunachal Pradesh Congress legislator Nido Pavitra.He was reportedly gone to Lajpat Nagar with three friends on Wednesday evening and was looking for an address, when someone at a sweet shop allegedly began mocking him.

As I often say, we have come a long way from the days of slavery, but in 2014, discrimination and inequality still saturate our society in modern ways. Though racism may be less blatant now in many cases, its existence is undeniable. - Al Sharpton

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character – Martin Luther King, Jr.

How apt this quote is today`s world where the human race is divided by religion, colour and many other social attributes. There are some in the society which then use the divide to bully others.

A bully refused to back off after repeated attempts by the Sikh boy. The incident occurred outside a school in the UK where a bully kept harassing a young Sikh boy. Its very clearly visible that the bully first punched the young Sikh boy who just stood up for his own rights.

A few days ago, the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs asked all states and union territories to book anyone who calls a person from North East India a “chinki”, under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The punishment is up to five years imprisonment and denial of anticipatory bail.

The move was made with the aim of preventing racial discrimination against North East Indians, whose appearance is characterised by distinctly mongoloid features, particularly the shape of their eyes.

Needless to say, people’s responses have been wide and varied. While many Indians support the law, others see it as completely unnecessary and view the label “chinki” as a harmless “stereotype”.
