Anjel Chakma from Tripura lost his life after facing brutal racial abuse in Dehradun. This is heartbreaking and unacceptable.
Racial violence must not be tolerated. People from the North East are as Indian as every citizen of this country. Racism should never be normalized, and the perpetrators must be punished.
My deepest condolences to Anjel’s family and loved ones. May his soul rest in peace.
Just out, my research work I've been working on for the last few years.
