The Big Fight: Are Indians racist?
In light of the tragic death of 19-year-old student from Arunachal Pradesh, Nido Tania, we debate on The Big Fight on whether Indians discriminate against not just people from the North-East but also people from other parts of the country. Incidents of anti-outsider campaigns based on stereotyping have been reported almost every state. We look at the possible reasons for this racism and the solutions that society needs to look at. Joining us on this week's programme are BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, noted columnist Namita Bhandare, Rahul Narvekar of the Shiv Sena, writer-activist Binalakshmi Nepram, Professor Madhav Nalapat of Manipal University, journalist and author Samrat Choudhury and Leki Thungon of the Delhi School of Economics.
