A young girl from Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, has touched millions of hearts after an emotional video highlighting racial discrimination went viral on social media. In the video, she tearfully describes how a man asked whether she was Chinese, prompting her to defend her identity and belonging to India. She says, “Mera abbu India hai, hum bhi India hai... Humko India bolo, Chinese mat bolo.” Her innocent yet powerful words have sparked widespread discussions about the discrimination and stereotyping faced by people from India’s Northeast. The viral video has also renewed calls for greater awareness, respect and acceptance of India’s cultural and ethnic diversity.
