Hi Mridul: We are missing the point here. WHO are the CUSTOMERS here of these immoral NE women who pay huge amounts of money for their services? Would there be such service providers if there were no customers? Are these customers also immoral foreigners like those women that were singled out

You should also ask the opinions of Delhiites about western white women or even NRI girls -- they are preceived to be open to sleeping around - just based on a very few who do so rarely but make headlines. Some years back I read a headline news in respected Rajasthan Patrika when a young woma

Chan Da, The hard fact is, being in Delhi for about 14 years, I can't deny involvement of some of these folks in the prohibited practice. However, it is gross to generalise all North Easterners for the deeds of a very few of them. Besides, I don't think there's any customer involved as the

Prejudices arising out of factors like regionalism, parochialism etc. are one thing.Considering a group of people or a race or a creed or caste as sub-humans or pariahs is a step beyond that. Some prejudices arise out of competitions or clashes, but prejudices arising not out of these but with a

You are right Uttam. It also underscores the mentality that is quite pervasive among many Indians, of p***ing down on those whom they consider racially inferior but suck-up to those whose approval they so seek and deem superior. The other day I riled a bunch of desis complaining about racism in

It seems the police or whatever authorities have the mindset of blaming race as the root of criminality. If it is not Neo-Nazist attitude, what is? The bias was clearly against Africans and now against North East Indians: all lesser human beings from a nort indian perspective. I tend to think th
