Temjen Imana Along’s big statement, what did Baba say on the discrimination against the people of North-East?
News India Live, Digital Desk: Nagaland’s Higher Education and Tourism Minister Temjen Imana Along is quite popular on social media. His specialty is that he has the power to say even very serious things in a very light and funny manner. But the message he has shared recently has less jokes and more of a pang of pain. He has given a befitting reply to those people who consider the people of North-East as ‘Chinese’ because of their appearance or use words like ‘Momo’ on them. Why this war of identity? In a diverse country like India, every state has its own beauty and structure. But Temjen gives voice to an old pain, saying, “We are not Chinese and neither are we Momos. We are as much Indian as any citizen of Delhi or Mumbai.” This appeal is not just a statement, but the truth of thousands of youth who come to Delhi, Bangalore or Kolkata to study and work, but who are often made to feel like foreigners.Melting nationalism and culture, Imana Along spoke with great pride about her cultural roots. His message was clear—India is not just a piece of land, but a combination of crores of people whose faces may not be similar, but their loyalty is only to India. He has often shown how the people of the North-East are engaged in the service of Mother India while preserving their traditions. Social media reaction As soon as this video or appeal came out, people shared it fiercely. Some are calling it the “real identity of India” while others are believing that we really need to change our thinking. Temjen made it clear through his words that unity does not mean everything being the same, but standing together despite being different. The need for change. In the end, it is not just about the statement of Temjen Imana Along. The point is that as Indians, how do we view others? People from the North East are fighting in our army, bringing gold medals as our sportspersons and bringing glory in every field. In such a situation, raising questions on their patriotism or teasing them about their eating habits and appearance should be stopped.
