]]> Comment on A generalized ethnic perception; poor ethics by Arina http://gauravshrivastava.wordpress.com/2008/02/04/a-generalized-ethnic-perception-poor-ethics/#comment-43 Arina Mon, 10 Mar 2008 11:00:50 +0000 http://gauravshrivastava.wordpress.com/?p=44#comment-43 It is always easy to find fault with others and so difficult to appreciate or encourage people. If one thinks “North-East girls would in fact put sex on offer for a few extra thousands” then why aren’t these people trying to help rather than criticising or make such baseless statements. I myself, being a north-east girl know how difficult it is to stay away from home, have anyone ever thought how difficult it is to actually step out of the protective shield our brothers or parents have created for their sisters? Have anybody ever thought how less facilities and options we are provided with? Have they ever thought how tough it is when we are treated as aliens in our very own COUNTRY?? We work so hard everyday knowing, if we make a small mistake at any point of time, how much people around us will enlarge it and put forward, to prove ourselves and show to the whole world that we(NE girls) are capable of standing on our own feet, capable of making our parents proud, capable of having that firm place in the society. And such statements in NEWSPAPERS put forward by the so-called EDUCATED people obviously make us feel like “dirt”. All I wanna say is At the end of the day North-East Girls are also Indians whether anybody want it or not, so just think twice before making such statements. And even after thinking twice if people are still making such statements then pity on you, your knowledge bout the so called “NORTH-EAST INDIA” is pathetic, and shame on such people who knows only to criticise people but doesn’t know how to actually help others.

Even a child knows it. But it is not correct/right to conclude a particular region or people based on a few black sheeps. It is totally a racial comment against a region & its people. The reporter, Vikram deserves an apology for his pre-mature writing. It seems that he wants to attract attention..! I guess from his writing that he is not a mature enough reporter, may be a beginner. It also shows that he is a black sheep among the journalists. Fortunately, we are wise enough to understand & detect the black sheep like him among journalists. Vikram Kumar, Do you really know about your own people & community realities, forget about other communities.My sincere advice to the reporter is that open your eyes wide enough & think deeply before your write anything and make it public. Remember it is question of your career. You are writing & publishing such racial article in public domain. Plz do not make mistake yourself and do not assassinate your own career yourself.

It brought me back memories of my days filled with anger at how the north eastern people are treated. I pinced myself to double check if I was in dreamland sitting in my office cubicle overlooking my white colleague! Of course I am way off from New Delhi where I spent 3 years of college at Lady Shri Ram College where I got a real taste of what racism is all about. I completed my schooling in south India and never came across any racist attitude there. So when I moved to Delhi I was in for a big big culture shock. It made me grow up real quick and also to work harder so I could prove my worth. Today, I am happily married with a great career to boot for and have adopted Australia as my new Country. I love the people here, why shouldn't I when I am treated with so much respect and dignity when my own countrymen do not have the decency to do so. I proudly teach my 3 year old son that he is a Manipuri Australian. Sorry I went a bit emotional and on a different tangent! People like Gaurav can contribute immensely in changing public perspective through the media. Good on you Gaurav, keep up the good work mate!
