THE REPUBLIC AND THE UNPROTECTED BODY 🇮🇳🏛️⁠
⁠
"A person is no longer encountered as a person; the body becomes a symbol onto which prejudices are projected." — Ngurang Reena ⁠
⁠
On this International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, we share a bold and necessary reflection on race, gender, and the structural invisibility of violence in India. ⁠

From the streets of Delhi to the conflict in Manipur, Reena explores why citizenship often exists only on paper for those from the Northeast.⁠
⁠
This is not a request for sympathy; it is a demand for constitutional seriousness.⁠
