THE COURT WAS HEARING A PLEA BY A PERSON FROM THE NORTHEAST, SEEKING SAFETY OF PEOPLE FROM THE REGION

- Utkarsh Anand

The Supreme Court on Tuesday expressed concern over what it described as continuing cultural and racial discrimination faced by people in various parts of the country, calling such behaviour “unacceptable in a nation that prides itself on unity in diversity.”

Recalling a recent incident in which a man from Kerala was ridiculed in Delhi for wearing a lungi, the court observed that such prejudice persists even outside the context of religion, and must be taken seriously by both the Union and state governments.
