Video: North eastern girl's witty take on being stereotyped in North India

She goes on to take a satirical approach to assumptions made about people from north east India.

People from states located in the north-eastern part of India have time and again been subjected to absurd stereotyping and even racial slurs in other parts of India thanks to the atrocious lack of knowledge and awareness about the culture and people in that particular region of our country.

Satire has always been a potent vehicle for hitting out at discrimination and stereotypes and now a girl named Miss Imsong from the north-east has decided to take hit back with a satirical video about north Indian stereotypes which has gone viral.

The comic can be seen mispronouncing names and also asking of north Indians speak Sanskrit at home. She even names wrong capital cities for states, which is a take on how people in the so called “Indian mainland” hardly know names of cities in north eastern states.
