Discrimination: How should we deal with it?
By Desperate Dreamer

Discrimination. This phenomenon has for long been the talking point for people who have opportunistic interests in fanning the emotional alienation of the North-East from the so-called mainland India. They talk as if discrimination were some kind of a strange treatment meted out by the mainland Indians to the ¡§fringe¡¨ Indians in the North-East. The truth however is this: discrimination is ingrained in human psychology. Discrimination is universal.
