We live in a country with 1.4 billion of people, hailing from different states, following a different religion, speaking different languages, eating different food, yet, somehow we have collectively been able to ignore one of the most crucial parts of our country. The Northeast.
The existence of this part of India should not be limited to your GK question about the seven sisters or about simply limited to a bucket list for a road trip, sadly it’s.
We are not notified, told and informed enough about the Northeast and don’t even get me started on the whole concept of how much racial discrimination is cited towards Northeastern. It’s almost as if we don’t know them and in reality, most don’t even want to.
There are various other problems that Northeasterns face and misinformation the rest of the country has about them, which is why you should definitely check out this video. Created by Abhineet Mishra, a comedian hailing from Shillong, With Love From Northeast, states the usual conversation one hailing from the seven sisters, has with a person, not from there. It usually involves a lot of queries, confusion, and drama, but at the end of it all, more and more people are brought face-to-face with the reality Northeasterns are facing.
From constantly being agnated with China to question Northeasterns for their food choices, we have sadly done it all. Sometimes knowingly and sometimes unknowingly.

There’s a lot to take away from this video which shows how difficult it can be for someone, hailing from Northeast, to constantly teach and answer some of the dumbest things about their land, their culture and their way of living.
