'Chinki, Chinese, Momo': Arunachal Pradesh Troupe's Racist Horror At Patna Station

A dance troupe from Arunachal Pradesh has faced racial harassment at Patna railway station, with a woman using slurs such as "chinki" and "momo" to target the young women from the Northeast. According to reports, the woman asked the Arunachal women to show their identity cards for using the restroom. When they protested, she hurled racist abuses at them. Videos of their exchange, which are now viral, show the woman laughing as the Arunachal group objects to her remarks. "We are from Arunachal, we want to travel to other parts of the country, but we are scared because of such people. She called us 'chinki, chinese, momo'," the woman recording a video is heard saying. Soon after, the woman using the racist slurs says in English, "My favourite food is momo." At this, an Arunachal woman replies, "What are you doing here? Why are you bothering us?" The woman recording the video says, "Such people are defaming our country. They don't know India's map. They are showing off their English as if they know everything. They have zero knowledge. Uncivilised and uneducated people are like this."
