Add ‘Northeast’ chapter in NCERT books, demand Northeast students

With the recent cases of racism and hate against the people of the Northeast region, students organisations and Universities from the Northeastern region of India have decided to initiate a “Twitter Storm” to get the government of India to include a section on the Northeast region of India in NCERT textbooks that are followed by CBSE schools.

The Nagaland University Students’ Union NUSU (L) President, Hipito Achumi, issued a statement that read, “as we are already aware of the subtle discrimination against the Northeast even to the extent of accusing us of being Chinese is not a new topic.”
