I had this moment recording where I paused and thought: How much ignorance have I been okay with?
Alana shared being called "chinky" as a teen in Delhi. Government offices laughing at her Hindi. 30 years post-independence, Northeast Indians, our people, still treated like foreigners.
We've heard these stories, felt bad briefly. But acted? Asked what "Indian enough" means? Why our anthem ends at Bengal, erasing Northeast?
Alana's fought 18 years. Not by choice, necessity. Court cases no one mentions.
Racism here is real, systemic. Most of us aren't speaking up enough.
If you believe in constitutional India, watch this.
