The recent death of Tripura student Anjel Chakma in Uttarakhand, following an alleged racist attack, has reignited calls to address discrimination against people from Northeast India. This incident echoes the 2014 killing of Arunachal student Nido Tania, which prompted a committee to recommend a law against racial discrimination. Despite ongoing reports of casual racism and a Supreme Court petition for guidelines, India has yet to enact such legislation, highlighting a persistent societal issue.
