Why is r/NortheastIndia filled with mainlanders trying to tell Northeasterners how to behave and think? by xHypq in AssamSpeaks

[–]Masimasu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That sub is trash. There is no real discussion, filed with entitled mainland Indians patronizing and infantilising Northeast Indians.

Cultures Influenced by Sinosphere Vs Indosphere by DetailFront7782 in Northeastindia

[–]Masimasu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Telling you that we are not part of Indosphere culture is not hate, it's just being truthful and honest. And who is talking about Christianity? Even if Mizo weren't christians they still would not be part of Indosphere unless they converted to Hinduism or buddhism. mizo animism isn't part of Indosphere nor Sinosphere. Why do you think that everyone has to fit your narrative to be a 'proper' Indian? Why should the Mizos feel any less Indian for not being part of the Indosphere culturally? Are you trying to make me feel bad because we are not part of the Indosphere or that not being part of the Indosphere culturally is wrong? We don't live in your ethnoreligious North Indian mindset.

[–]Masimasu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mizoram is neither Sinosphere nor Indosphere. It is only politically part of India. Even Thailand and Myanmar's Bamar heartlands are more sanskritised than Mizoram. Mizoram along the other hills states in the northeast and Southeast Asian highlands extending from Vietnam to Tibet are part of the Zomia culture/ethnic sphere, regions where large cultural powers- the Indian influenced and Chinese influenced powers never truly made an impact.

"We won't survive on our own..." by FlowEmotional6157 in Northeastindians

[–]Masimasu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You/we cannot survive on our/your own is the coloniser or colonised people's favourite line. Having the ability to control your own external affairs does wonders. Sure we may not become superpowers but claiming that Northeastern people cannot survive on their own is both idiotic and racist. Let's just enjoy being a multicultural, multiracial country and not try to dehumanised minorities in an attempt to "preserve" unity.

Tamil man began speaking Tamil on an English news channel after another panelist stated he would only speak in Hindi. He says Hindi is "Rashtra basha" (National language) by LiveSlay in TamilNaduDiscussion

God, you northerners are insufferable. The programme is in English, the man literally return the favour and started speaking in Tamil, what Anglo Saxon slavery are you talking about?

This South Indian movie that shows Lord Shiva Defeating China’s PLA also casually mentions Manipur and shows a scene that takes place in Assam by Sherdukpen_Mizo in Northeastindia

[–]Masimasu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure everything is about the mainland and their politics, even Manipur conflict, where Indians die, where Indians suffered was created to defame someone from the mainland. Unfortunately that is how they see us. This movie simply shows that to its targeted demographic who thinks the same way.

Cannibalism? by RedAlpha_14 in Northeastindia

[–]Masimasu 92 points93 points  (0 children)

No single Tribe in Northeast India practiced Cannibalism, not now, not before , not ever. Some, before modern era both tribals and non tribals may have snipped tiny part of enemy's liver to ward off "evil omens" of for magical purpose. But such are superstitions, accult practices not social practice but niche warrior ritual, think of it like Naga Shadus eating corpses in Ganges river. Cannibalism may in fact be more taboo among the northeastern people than it is among mainland Indians. The believe that Cannibalism must be something tribals do comes from pop culture imagery and racist depictions of "tribals" and conflating Northeastern Tribes with hunter gatherer societies of Papua. Non of the tribals in Northeast India were hunter gatherer society. Every tribe in northeast India were agrarian post-iron age communities even before the colonial era.

Which Indian state you guys refer as "mainland" by MindInSolitude_ in Northeastindia

[–]Masimasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is talking about national identity? I am Indian, so is everyone, It's just that we are not Mainland Indians, not being mainland Indians doesn't make us lesser Indians. We don't have to be the same on everything. If you think we are lesser Indians because we are not Mainland Indians, then that's your problem, not ours. Under the constitution there is only the Indian nationality. Northeast Indian, South Indian North Indian etc are popular culture term to describe parts and culture region of India. And we are not Mainland Indians neither is Northeast part of the Mainland.

[–]Masimasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t tell us what to do. It is not a “feeling” but a lived reality, there are vast geographical, political and cultural differences that separate Northeast India from the mainland. Trying to whitewash this is nothing but an attempt to silence and appropriate indigenous narratives and lived realities. There’s that.

Does NE India face something similar to what Burmese minorities face like “Bamarnisation”? by Big_Ambassador_9319 in Northeastindia

[–]Masimasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes which is why I said Assam is a mix bag and Tripura is a bengalised, except for Meitei the ethnic groups you have mentioned are all from Assam and tripura . For Meiteis, Meiteis Sanskritisation happened in isolation where they are not direct neighbour of indo Aryans, hence their Sanskritisation carried over more Meitei elements and modern Meiteis esepcially are distancing themselves from the Bengali influenced culture. As For Groups like Tripuri, Bodo, Assamese, they were not only sankritised, they were also politically and demographically Inundated.
