The Nagas have been subjected to racial discrimination based on their physical and cultural attributes by the mainland Indians since long ago. Even though there were various uproars against racism by North-eastern communities but none has bore fruitful results. Especially after the waves of COVID-19 pandemic the Nagas and other North-Eastern communities has been slammed with to all sort racial slurs and violence. In spite of that we can see the actions of locals towards non-locals in Nagaland were no less, locals treat people coming from outside North East with all sorts of discrimination. It was evident from the viral video that was being circulated across social media of some few Naga people mishandling non-locals.
The global crisis i.e. COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst towards increasing racial discrimination. Despite having laws and legislations for protection against discrimination, no actions were taken. Racism has many dimensions such as the cultural, socio-psychological, socio-political and socio-economic which should be studied on each level. Cutting through these different dimensions, discourse is central to such an investigation. Therefore, it is important to explore how stereotypes are formed and dispelled in order to intervene in the problem and essential to provide people with information that challenges stereotypes.
During the study it was identified that the main factors that lead of social discrimination (racism) on the basis of race, origin or sex was due to differences in physical, cultural & linguistic attributes. The findings proved that repeated discriminatory behaviour was mainly because of some preconceived notions and superiority complex about ones’ own culture and identity.
