An engineering student from the northeastern state of Manipur was attacked in Bangalore last night by men who allegedly demanded that he "speak in the local Kannada language or get lost". Michael Lamjathang Haokip, who heads a Manipuri students' body, alleges that he and his friends were standing at a roadside food stall when the men threatened them and attacked them with stones. But he says he will continue studying in the city and calls this an isolated incident.
