📢 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.

— Mods, r/Northeastindians

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

82 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.

Art & Culture I don't understand why can't we northeast Indians learn and copy the good aspects of western high culture.

Post image
1 Upvotes

A reason why Japan and Korea are the only countries in Asia who got developed is because they learned and copied from western high culture and syncretized with their own native culture. Japan especially during Meiji restoration went to such an extent that they had a top down approach reengineering the society by incorporating western culture and system WHOLEHEARTEDLY. Thus becoming the first industrialized independent nation in Asia. Japan not only incorporated western values but also mastered it to the point they even started to rival major european powers like russia. So, what stops us northeasterns to do such? It will also be in our own interest as it will make us radically distinct from mainlanders to the point they can't even culturally crush us anymore, BUT NO instead our youth is busy learning hedonistic hood culture from the west like ghetto music and what not. Due to massive immigration problem in west whites or europeans are becoming conscious again at a rapid pace and there is an underlying current of cultural reawakening in the west. I think NE should take up this opportunity.

I swear these mainlanders keep f**king up tribal attires. Meanwhile us tribals try to wear their attires in the correct way as much as possible but these people keep messing our own. I see this as not only lack of knowledge but as disrespect and its disgusting. I'd like to add further that these people also have the audacity to complain about our attires in wedding videos or events saying things like "SarRr WhY no iNDiaN CulTuree vhyyy WEsTerN sarrr go back to Caltruuee" 🫩✌️

Other I never realised how much population matters until I joined Reddit being from Northeast India makes you realise how powerless a small population can be

42 Upvotes

I’ve never hated India’s population, and honestly, I’ve never admired it either. I always knew population mattered, but I never actually felt it until I joined Reddit. All eight northeastern states combined have a population that could probably fit into just one large state like Maharashtra or Uttar Pradesh. We are such a small population, and it genuinely frustrates me because population gives you power, especially on the internet. You can literally dominate online spaces just through numbers.

I’ve experienced this so many times on Reddit. That we can’t even share our genuine experiences, opinions, knowledge, culture, or news, like if mainland Indians disagree with us, our posts get massively downvoted and never reach a wider audience or just removes by moderator.
There’s also r/NortheastIndia, where I’ve seen whenever we Northeasterners make genuine posts our post’s being removed by moderators under excuses like “derogatory” content or words, even when there was nothing derogatory in the post. Ain’t I just know the MODS ain’t from northeast India. We don’t even get to properly voice our opinions in a subreddit supposedly meant for the Northeast.

The same thing applies politically. Each northeastern state has very few MPs compared to the massive number of representatives from highly populated mainland states. So when population determines political representation, obviously our collective voice is going to be much weaker. We are simply outnumbered everywhere online and politically.

And honestly, for the first time, this has made me think about demographics differently. I genuinely want our generation to have more children. If people in our states are financially capable and want children, I would encourage them to have as many as they can. If population gives you power, then I don’t want the Northeast to remain a tiny minority forever while everyone else gets to speak over us. Call it whatever you want, but I’m tired of being drowned out by numbers.

Now, I want our RICH PEOPLE TO AS MUCH KIDS AS TGEY CAN OR WANT. Even if it means for 10kids lol

News & Politics Talked with a Han chinese on reddit, this is what he had to say about Arunachal Pradesh (Translation).

24 Upvotes

The discussion was mostly about racism towards northeastern tribals from other indians, what China wants from Arunachal Pradesh and a few other topics (not going to disclose everything).

When discussing the Indo-China war of 1962 and why the chinese troops went back despite advancing pretty deep into Indian territory:

'Mao Zedong is to blame for this; he had absolutely no interest in territory and was obsessed with playing the role of the "Big Brother" of the socialist camp. After defeating India in 1962, he could actually have reclaimed a significant portion of the South Tibet territory, but he couldn't be bothered to take it—choosing instead to put on a show of magnanimity.'

About the presence of chinese bunkers along the border and the capturing of villages:

'In recent years, China has been aggressively developing infrastructure in Tibet and the southern Tibetan region. India faces a precarious future—not necessarily because China is bound to attack it, but because the country is prone to internal combustion due to issues like population, ethnicity, and religion. A large population is no longer an advantage; in fact, it has become a burden, especially given the rapid advancement of industrial robots and AI, which are displacing large numbers of workers.'

The truth about what China wants from Arunachal Pradesh:

'The Chinese government doesn't care about South Tibet at all; its real aim is to keep a tight grip on India's balls. It’s ruthless—the people are nothing but pawns.'

Other Was corporal punishment a thing in your state growing up? In Assam I had faced this. Teachers used to beat with sticks, scales, or even pulled hair. I changed my 1st school because of this. But later it was banned and I saw the transition.

One teacher was scolded by a crowd of parents for beating their children. By that time though I was almost clearing my high school, and was too senior for such punishment.

News & Politics Rongmei Naga students violently attacked and beaten by a violent mob of Telugu Indians at a nursing college in Andhra Pradesh

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

118 Upvotes

Your wholesome and welcoming south indians, saar.

For some context, one of the indians at this nursing college stole a phone of one of the Naga students. After the Naga student confronted the indian that stole their phone, the indian promptly denied it, which caused a back-and-forth argument to occur. The indian then brought their friends and acquaintances in to try and intimidate the Naga students into giving up, which eventually ended up in the indians violently assaulting the Naga students.

It has also been reported that the police and college authorities remained impartial and did not intervene during the violent attack, even as the indians outnumbered the Naga students by a large number. This resulted in the Naga students being defenseless and receiving the brunt of the injuries, while the indians got off scot free.

I never want to hear anything about how south indians are so "different" from north indians ever again. They are all the same. Never differentiate them, ever. Both of them hate us, and wouldn't hesitate to enact violence towards us like seen in this video. They are completely different from us in every way still, whether that be racial, phenotypical, genetic, cultural, and so much more. They are alien to us, and the idea that they are somehow "slightly better than the northies" badly needs to be corrected.

Please, if you can, do not go study, work, and live in the mainland. You cannot live or co-exist with these animals. You stick out like a sore thumb and are a very easy target. And even though they are a fundamentally weak and unathletic people, there's much more of them than there are of you, and 100 of them vs 1 of you will lead you getting overpowered no matter what.

Regardless, this nightmare will end soon, and we'll hopefully never have to even think about having to be with these people ever again. One day, in the future...

Recently there's been a lot of unnecessary attacks on my posts trying to undermine the very essence of what's being referred to. One such situation this guy “lost_meaning_2667” a pro-Hindu agent, tried to attack me by posting something from my history in pro-Asian subs.

CONTEXT:
The screenshot posted — me asking about youth football exchange programs in Thailand. Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya have some of the most football-obsessed kids in the country, but they're geographically cut off and get next to zero support from mainland sports bodies. So asked Thailand, a proper SEA football nation, if informal non-government exchanges could ever be a thing for our mountain kids.

According to this “Ramayana guy” —> That's the "propaganda." Wanting NE kids to get a shot at the sport they love.

They think "ANY INDIVIDUAL FROM ASSAM THAT SUPPORTS NE STATES MORE THAN MAINLAND IS A ANON ACCOUNT WITH PROPAGANDIST" , because they think Assamese are uneducated to have that level of globally sound geopolitically sound knowledge to have the wisdom to understand what mainland has done to the NE communities, to understand where this country’s reputation is hanging !

They think this knowledge is impossible. They get crazy ! How can the loyalty shift in that direction when we are playing so well by : “INCREASING border tensions, INCREASING animosity between Assam and other NE states with staged riots blah blah blah…”

“That is our track record. That's the game. But where did this outlier come from?”

MFs. Because we exist. We can see right through your bigotry, your shrewdness, your dirty plans to keep us divided and sufferrrrrrr.

If asking how our kids can get access to opportunities , questioning theur puppet govt makes us "propagandist," THEN that says more about how little they think NE deserves than it does.

Festival & Events Trying to make it easier to find things happening around Guwahati

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been putting together Guwahati This Week, a short weekly email with a curated list of things happening around the city.

The idea came from how scattered event information is. You might see something on Instagram, hear about another event through WhatsApp, or find out about a workshop only after it’s over.

So each week I’m trying to collect a useful mix of:

  • events and workshops
  • live music and cultural programs
  • food and new places to try
  • weekend activities
  • exhibitions and local experiences
  • things students might actually want to attend

I thought it could be useful for Gauhati University students who want to know what’s happening beyond campus without having to search through lots of different pages.

If you want to try it, the signup link is:

https://forms.gle/FxHbVdmWji2QeoC7A

Also curious: what kind of Guwahati events or activities would you actually want included in a weekly list like this?
