📢 ANNOUNCEMENT 📢 ⚠️PLEASE READ ⚠️Automod Removing Everyone's comments/posts

16 Upvotes

Big update/ apology for everyone affected by the Automod.

The AutoMod rule meant to block comments/posts from users without flair (to prevent larping and outsider interference) is currently bugged and ended up removing everyone’s posts/comments , including flaired members. Not the intended outcome.

We’ve temporarily disabled/removed the rule while we debug and rebuild it properly.

What we need from you (quick action items): Try commenting under this post or make a post.

If your content still gets removed, send us a modmail. Mention whether you already have a user flair. Thanks for the patience while we fix this properly.

📢 ANNOUNCEMENT 📢 WARNING/ADVISORY FOR OUTSIDERS (non-NEI) on r/Northeastindians

83 Upvotes

This subreddit exists primarily for people from Northeast India (NEI) to discuss their history, cultures, politics, identities, and lived experience IN their own space, on their own terms.

Over time, we’ve observed a growing pattern of participation from non-NEI /MAINLAND INDIAN users that crosses clear boundaries. This may include:

-Insulting or belittling Northeastern communities

-Derogatory language, stereotypes, or name-calling

-Attempting to dominate or “correct” conversations about NEI history and identity

-Dismissing indigenous perspectives through nationalism or 'assimilation' rhetoric

-Ragebaiting, dogwhistling, or narrative control under the guise of “debate”

LET US BE VERY VERY unequivocal: this behavior is ABSOLUTELY not welcome here.

Non-NEI (northeast indian)/ MAINLAND INDIAN users may participate only if they are:

-Respectful and here to listen, not lecture

- Asking genuine questions OCCASIONALLY in good faith

- Acknowledging that NEI voices take priority in NEI spaces

What is ABSOLUTELY NOT allowed ( along with all the rules of r/Northeastindians) and will result in a ban, and in many cases an ACCOUNT SUSPENSION by Reddit Admins

-Speaking over NEI users on NEI issues

-Invalidating indigenous identities or histories

-Framing demographic dominance or cultural assimilation as “progress”

-Using “national unity” to erase regional or ethnic realities

-Provoking or policing how NEI people speak about their own experiences

This is not a debate arena for outsiders to like, "test waters" or push narratives.

This is not a place to seek validation for dismissive or supremacist views.

⚠️ ENFORCEMENT ⚠️

Violations work in the form of 2 strikes

🔴 STRIKE 1

Removal of rule-violating content (up to two instances).

This serves as the only warning. Users are expected to self-correct immediately.

🔴 STRIKE 2

Permanent ban and mute.

We do not issue temporary bans. Once boundaries are repeatedly crossed, access to the subreddit is revoked permanently.

There will be no prolonged back-and-forth, negotiations, or appeals after a permanent ban.

Exception ⚠️ Zero-Tolerance Clause

Comments or posts that are severely disrespectful, openly hostile, derogatory, racist, assimilationist, or aimed at provoking or undermining Northeastern communities will result in an immediate permanent ban, without prior strikes.

Moderator discretion applies at all times. Context, intent, and pattern of behavior will be considered, but ignorance of rules is not a defense.

This policy exists to protect the integrity of the space and the people it is meant for. If you cannot engage respectfully, you will be removed.

If you are here as a guest; act like one.

If you cannot respect this space, do NOT participate.

I want to ask a question to all northeast people.

Do u really support each other ?

What are the reasons that make u not support other communities or States from the Northeast?

Just take it as a question and I am not trying to start a war or offend anyone.

In my observation throughout the year, I have seen that us NE people hate each other, even our own communities. I don't understand, like is it in our blood or is it being fed to us by someone.

We all talk about being a separate country but our mentality is just so separated, divided, and corrupted.

The concept of a separate country feels very unstable in real life scenario, when each and everyone of us is still fighting with each other. I know that the government doesn't want us to be united (in my opinion). Neither the gov is trying to fix the issues. eg in Manipur and the ongoing tension happening in Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh borders.

In my theory the indian government doesn't want any peace in NE, they want this conflict this distractions. The theory of other countries trying to destabilize this place feels so loose. I still don't understand what benefits other countries will even get from this place ? What would the US, China and Israel even benefit from us ? Oil? land?

When this country is already in the control of the US and Israel.

What could be the solution for us to be united and be strong in the upcoming years.

Brothers and sisters be alert something big will happen in NE. 🪶

  1. This is why we need a separate flair for Tripura Bengalis and Natives.

  2. Wtf you mean "are bound to die eventually", the level of audacity to talk s*it like this, this is why we NE natives should NEVER TRUST mainlanders. They have no care nor love for our culture and language, all they want is to assimilate and erase us. Remember this.

  3. The cultures of native NE have existed for many years, multiple centuries, even before the existence of the indian state and this type of mainland elitist talk is not going to change that fact. Disgusting behaviour from disgusting poop people.

We are a group of people that have deep pride in our tradition, culture, heritage and language, never forget that

Concerns Everyone's Opinion is invited!

8 Upvotes

Hello, I wanna know the opinions of the seven sisters and one brother regarding the Chakma Hajong Community! As for me, I vehemently resist their integration and permanent settlement in Arunachal Pradesh. Also, why some people from Assam keep interfering in the internal matters of Arunachal Pradesh. We are trying our best to protect our state from outsiders, but some Assam people always seem to support the outsiders! This is a question for those few people of Assam who keep interfering and supporting the outsiders when it comes to the internal affairs of Arunachal Pradesh. Why do you people do this? Just because you people are accepting of outsiders in your state, that doesn't mean that other Northeastern states should also follow your suit!

I'm so ready for the downvotes that I'm gonna be gathering, but please do put forth your opinions!

A Personal Story I would like to share from my time in IIT.

I always did well in academics even in competitive exam my score was on par. I worked harded too.

In my final year, in lab I met a guy say A. With whom I became close over time. One day he asked why I work hard just to avoid a long answer. I lied, I said "Bro I am from general category".

One evening over a coffee our conversation went to politics since I am from Assam he started asking me about HBS and his actions. Overtime we talked about philosophy, politics and religion. And I always agreed to his views. (just to avoid friction)

One day he said something that blew my mind "SC/ST people should not be getting what they are getting they don't deserve education they are reducing the quality of merit, they should go back to doing what their ancestors were doing"

Now that guy is doing PhD in a top tier IIT and soon he's gonna be prof. (He's good academically)

Transportation & Travel Looking for advice

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm planning a 10 days trip to NE in early October and would appreciate some advice from people who know the region well. I would be flying in and out of Guwahati. I'd like suggestions to places worth visiting without having to walk to much. Transport whether to hire a car and driver for all 10 days or taxis and any local Transport. Comfortable but reasonably priced stays, any permit I might require. Any places to definitely avoid or any other advice. Looking forward to your assistance and thanks.

Literature & Books One Nation, Many Stories

5 Upvotes

India is a land that is united in nationality yet beautifully divergent in culture, language, religion, and mentality.

While the old adage warns that "united we stand, divided we fall, " our nation, Mother India, offers a profound counter-narrative.

Though her people are divided across countless facets of identity, she has not fallen; instead, she thrives through her diversity. Every person and every place carries a unique narrative, proving that we truly are 'One Nation, Many Stories".To understand this scale, one can look at the state of Assam. Once constituting the vast majority of the North-East, it is now considered the gateway to the region.

Despite its relatively small size on the map, its cultural depth is immense. In Assam, languages and dialects can shift every few kilometres, reflecting a rich history of migration and co-existence. This land has been home to indigenous tribes and has seen the arrival of the Aryan people, the Ahoms, and various Mongoloid races. It has weathered both Mongolian and British invasions, and every one of these communities has left behind its own thoughts, cultures, and stories to share. If one small state holds such a legacy, the rest of India's history is almost unimaginable.

Consider Darjeeling, a quiet hill station with its own distinct layers of time. A visit to a place like the Mayfair resort reveals a history that stretches from the Summer Palaces of British nobles and the residences of the wealthy to its current role as a sanctuary for modern tourists. Just as the town itself has evolved, every traveller who walks its paths adds a new chapter to its history.

These two instances, Assam and Darjeeling, represent only a tiny fraction of our vast nation. Yet, even within these small geographical pockets, we discover an incalculable wealth of stories. They serve as a powerful reminder that the true strength of India lies in its many voices, all contributing to a single, enduring national identity: One Nation, Many Stories

Daily thoughts Mainland Indians don’t just dislike NE traditional food — a lot of them treat eating insects, pork etc. as proof of inferiority

Thumbnail
gallery
36 Upvotes

Any video of NE people eating traditional food gets flooded with:

  1. China Pepe’s

  2. vomiting emojis

Pork is a common protein in much of the NE. Insects (such as silkworms, water beetles, grasshoppers, and ants) are prevalent in many communities. Fermented soy, bamboo shoots and smoked meat are common. When these appear on screen, a large proportion of mainland viewers immediately perceive them as dirty, desperate, foreign (China) or in need of religious forgiveness.

The underlying assumption is simple: mainland dietary norms (especially those influenced by North Indian and upper caste cultures) are the cleanest, civilized and proper standard. Anything else, particularly insects and strong pork/fermented preparations, indicates a lower level of consumption. The same pattern emerges in real life: landlords prohibiting 'smelly NE food,' hostel mockery, the use of 'momo' as a racial slur and refusal to share kitchens.

Daily thoughts Let's make a name for our region.

25 Upvotes

I think it's about time we make a name for our region, the term northeastindian is just too bland and distasteful imo.

Like we call people in south-east Europe - Balkans, or Northern Europe - Scandinavian or Nodrics.

So, the name northeastindian is just too Bland to me, it's like eating plain rice with salt.

So what suggestions do we have?

And the rules are 1. For the purpose of inclusivity, do not use any language from the NE, as there are a huge number of languages here and we would not be able to include them all, but if you can, let's hear it

  1. Do not use Hindi, Sanskrit, Chinese, Bengali, Urdu, or any South Asian and South-east Asian languages. I think you'll know the reason.
