An MBA student from Tripura, Anjel Chakma, died in Dehradun after being fatally stabbed when he objected to racial slurs targeting his appearance. The incident, which occurred while he was shopping, has sparked national reflection on prejudice, belonging, and citizenship in India. Chakma's last words, questioning the need to prove his Indian identity, highlight ongoing discrimination faced by people from Northeast India, suggesting the event is part of a broader pattern rather than an isolated crime.
