Watch: This Manipuri man speaks movingly about being more than ‘chinky’

Ethnic discrimination against people from the northeast is no news. ‘Chinkis’ as they are unabashedly called, their stay in the other parts of the country is filled by threat and mockery.

The story of this Manipuri boy in Delhi will not fail to move your heart and make you think twice before you call them anything. In a beautiful sing-song poetic style, Brian Khamboi calls for justice and unity.

He says, “I am not Mary Kom… I fight outside the ring. People from North Eastern, like me, fight in schools, colleges, public places, offices. We are fighters. We are Indians.”

Be ready to be woken up by his impressive and gutsy message!
