When will this RACISM against NorthEast END?
1st JULY 2026
(This morning, my sister and I were travelling from Guwahati to Agartala by train. Upon reaching our reserved seats, we found that a family had kept the middle berth open, even though our reserved seats were on the lower berth.
As it was only 8:00 a.m., we politely requested that they fold the middle berth, since, according to railway rules, middle berths are meant to remain open only during the designated sleeping hours (10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.). Instead of cooperating, they refused our request and spoke to us in a rude and disrespectful manner.
We reported the matter to the railway staff, who intervened and resolved the issue. However, the unpleasant behaviour continued. While I was sitting on my sister’s lower berth, they told me, “One of your seats isn’t here. Go, go from here.” Although my own reserved seat was in the adjacent section, I was simply sitting on my sister’s berth, which did not violate any rule.
The situation escalated further when they began making racist remarks directed at us, including, “jyada dikhta hain kya? China se aaye ho kya?” (“Do you see things too much? Are you from China or what?”). Such comments were discriminatory, offensive, and entirely unacceptable. No passenger should have to endure racial abuse or disrespect while travelling. I hope the railway authorities take such incidents seriously and ensure that all passengers are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their appearance or ethnicity.
