5 | In a recent promo for the hugely popular game show “Kaun Banega Crorepati,” India's version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” Bollywood superstar and host Amitabh Bachchan asks a contestant from the northeastern states which country the Indian city of Kohima belongs to. | Tamin'ny fanentanana vao haingana momba ilay fandaharana lalao malaza be “Kaun Banega Crorepati“, amin'ny endrika Indiana amin'ilay hoe “Iza no te-ho milionera”, manontany mpifaninana iray avy ao amin'ny fanjakana avaratra-atsinanana ilay superstar Bollywood sy mpanolotra fandaharana Amitabh Bachchan hoe iza no firenena misy ny tanàna Indiana Kohima. |
6 | The options are China, Nepal, India or Bhutan. | Ny valinteny isafidianana dia Shina, Nepaly, India ary Bhoutan. |
7 | She requests to use a lifeline, and some viewers laugh, thinking the answer is obvious. | Mangataka hampiasa vonjiaina ilay mpifaninana, ka nihomehy ny sasany amin'ireo mpijery, nihevitra fa mibaribary ny valinteny. |
8 | Bachchan tells her 100 percent of the audience says India. | Nilaza taminy i Bachchan fa ny 100 isan-jaton'ny mpijery dia nilaza hoe India. |
9 | “This is something everyone knows,” he tells her. | “Zavatra hain'ny rehetra izany” hoy izy taminy. |
10 | “Yes sir, everyone knows about it, but how many believe in it?” she replies. | “Eny Andriamatoa, hain'ny rehetra izany, saingy firy no mino izany?” hoy izy namaly. |
11 | Many people from the India's northeastern states, a region called the “Seven Sisters,” face racial discrimination in the rest of the country mainly because of their East Asian features and different culture. | Maro tamin'ireo mponina avy ao amin'ny firenena avaratra-atsinanana, faritra antsoina hoe «Seven Sisters (Fito Mirahavavy)», no miatrika fanavakavahana ara-poko ao amin'ny fanjakana ambiny noho ny endrik'izy ireo Aziatika Atsinanana sy ny kolontsaina samihafa. |
12 | One commenter wrote under the video on YouTube: | Nanoratra tao amin'ny lahatsary Youtube ny mpaneho hevitra iray: |
13 | I think we Indians are racist towards every region or state (of course its wrong), but just because our fellow north eastern people look unique they are easy targets. | Mihevitra aho fa mpanavakava-piaviana amin'ireo faritra tsirairay isaky ny fanjakana isika Indiana (mazava hoazy ny ratsy aminy), satria miavaka ny olona namantsika ao avaratra-atsinanana ka mora lasibatra. |
14 | Recent cases of hate crime, reported more regularly as people migrate to and from many states, have reawakened the country's debate on racism. | Niteraka adihevitra momba ny fanavakavaham-piaviana tao amin'ny firenena ireo tranga vao haingana nahitana famonoan'olona noho ny fankahalàna, izay notaterina matetika noho ny fahamaroan'olona mifindra toerana sy avy amin'ny fanjakana maro. |
15 | Last week, a 30-year-old man from India's northeastern state of Manipur was allegedly beaten to death by a group of men in the Kotla area of South Delhi. | Tamin'ny herinandro lasa teo, lehilahy 30 taona avy ao amin'ny fanjakana avaratra-atsinanan'i India no voalaza fa maty voadaroky ny vondron-dehilahy ao amin'ny faritra Kotla ao atsimon'i Delhi. |
16 | And in January, a student, Nido Taniam, from the northeastern state of Arunanchal Pradesh was also beaten to death by shopkeepers who made fun of his hair. | Tamin'ny volana Janoary, mpianatra iray, Nido Taniam, avy amin'ny fanjakana avaratra-atsinanan'i Arunanchal Pradesh no maty voadarok'ireo mpivarotra izay nanala azy tamin'ny volony. |
17 | In response, the government set up the Bezbaruah Committee to explore racism and other issues faced by people from Northeast India. | Ho setrin'izany, nametraka ny Komity Bezbaruah ny governemanta mba hiadiana amin'ny fanavakavaham-piaviana sy ireo olana hafa atrehin'ny vahoaka ao avaratra-atsinanan'i India. |
18 | It submitted its report on July 11 and the Ministry of Home Affairs is studying the report but no results or new measures have been announced so far. | Nanolotra ny tatitrany tamin'ny 11 Jolay ny komity ary mandinika izany tatitra izany ny Minisitry ny atitany saingy mbola tsy nisy vokany na fepetra vaovao nambara hatramin'izao. |
19 | However, awareness about the problem is growing and grassroots activists are trying to address it using social media and Internet. | Na dia izany aza, mitombo ny fanairana mikasika ny olana ary miezaka miresaka izany ao amin'ny media sosialy sy ny aterineto ireo mpikatroka eny ifotony. |
20 | In one YouTube video, Indian prankster TroubleSeekerTeam conducted a “racism experiment” of a man in a park calling a northeastern woman “chinky” (a derogatory term for a Chinese person) and using racist language. | Tao amin'ny lahatsary YouTube iray, nanao “andrana fanavakavaham-piaviana” ilay Indiana mpamazivazy TroubleSeekerTeam ka nataony nisy lehilahy iray tao an-jaridaina niantso vehivavy tavaratra-atsinanana iray ho “chinky” (voambolana manaratsy olona Shinoa) sy nampiasa fiteny nanavakavaka fiaviana . |
21 | Some passersby ignored the altercation, some intervened on behalf of the woman, and no one sided with the man. | Tsy niraharaha ny fifamaliana nisy ireo mpandalo sasany, ny sasany kosa nirotsaka an-tsehatra niaro ilay vehivavy, ary tsy nisy na dia iray aza momba ilay lehilahy. |
22 | Enxie Nemi Guite, a YouTube user from the northeast, thanked the team for the video: | Enxie Nemi Guite, mpisera YouTube avy ao avaratra-atsinanana, nisaotra ny ekipa nilalao tamin'ilay lahatsary: |
23 | I've faced uncountable incidents such like the one in the video, although I have never been defended. | Niatrika tranga tsy tambo isaina tahaka ity tamin'ny lahatsary ity aho, na dia tsy mba nisy niaro mihitsy aza aho tamin'izany fotoana izany. |
24 | It gives me so much pleasure that there are people who care. | Mahafaly ahy tanteraka fa misy ihany ny olona mba mitsinjo. |
25 | I became immune to comments like these from having received it so many times, but now…. | Nanjary tsy iharan'ny fiteny tahaka izany aho rehefa naharay izany imbetsaka taloha, saingy ankehitriny….tsy hangina aho |
26 | I will not be silent. On Facebook, ‘Stop Discriminating People From the North-East India', which protests against such racial discrimination, has nearly 63,000 likes and features regular discussion on the page. | Nahazo “tiako” efa ho 63000 ny pejy Facebook, ‘Stop Discriminating People From the North-East India (Atsaharo ny Fanavakavahana ny olona avy ao Avaratra-Atsinanan'i India), izay manohitra ny fanavakavahana ara-poko tahaka izany ary ahitana fanehoan-kevitra matetika ihany koa. |
27 | Elsewhere, a thread on question-and-answer site Quora looked at why people from the northeast are negatively perceived by other Indians. | Any ho any, nijery ny antony mahatonga ireo Indiana sasany mandray ny olona avy ao avaratra-atsinanana amin'ny lafiny ratsy ny resaka tao amin'ny Quora, habaka fanontaniana-sy-valiny. |
28 | Vijay Singh from India advanced the following causes of discrimination: | Nilaza ny anton'ny fanavakavahana i Vijay Singh avy ao India: |
29 | Map of the Seven Sisters. | Saritanin'ny “Seven Sisters”. |
30 | 1. Its Geographically separate from mainland India 2. They represent only 3-4% of India's population 3. Low participation in Indian politics and agenda 4. Features of the Mongolian race - this causes them to be labeled as ‘Chinese' 5. Clothing - despite India's huge cultural diversity; the traditional dress all over India for women would be either a ‘salwar kameez' or a ‘saree'. | 1. Ny jeografiany misaraka amin'ny India Tanibe 2. 3-4%n'ny mponina ao India fotsiny izy ireo 3. Ambany ny fandraisana anjara amin'ny politika sy ny fandaharan'asan'i India 4 Manana endrika foko Mongoliana -. Mahatonga azy ireo ho voapetaka anarana hoe “Shinoa” izany 5. Fitafy - na dia eo aza ny fahasamihafana lehibe ara-kolontsaina; ny fitafy nentim-paharazana hoan'ny vehivavy manerana an'i India dia tokony na «salwar kameez» na «sari». |
31 | Only in the North Eastern states, the traditional dress is completely different from these two forms. | Ao amin'ny fanjakana Avaratra-Atsinanana ihany no samihafa tanteraka amin'ireo fitafy karazany roa ireo ny fitafy nentim-paharazany. |
32 | 6. There is also huge linguistic diversity between these states, and the rest of the nation | 6. Misy ihany koa ny fahasamihafana goavana eo amin'ny fiteny eo amin'ireo fanjakana roa ireo, sy ny firenena ambiny |
33 | The ethnic and cultural differences result in a misunderstanding of the northeastern people, captured by this word cloud posted on the thread by Anup Chakraborty: | Miteraka tsy fifankahazoana amin'ny olona tavaratra-atsinana ny fahasamihafana ara-poko sy ara-kolontsaina, asehoan'ity teny mikambakambana nalefa tao amin'ny Anup Chakraborty ity: |

35 | East Asian features are not the only observable traits that lead to discrimination in India. | Tsy ny endrika Aziatika Tatsinanana ihany no toetra miavaka izay mitarika amin'ny fanavakavahana ao India. |
36 | Skin color, weight and accents all play into a person's social, familial and workplace status. | Tafiditra ao anatin'ny sata ara-tsosialy, ara-pianakaviana sy ny toeram-piasan'ny olona avokoa ny lokon'ny hoditra, ny lanja sy ny fiteny. |
37 | For instance, a recent article on IndiaCSR, a sustainable responsibility portal, reported violence against African students in metropolises. | Ohatra, lahatsoratra vao haingana tao amin'ny IndiaCSR, vavahady momba ny fandraisana andraikitra maharitra, nitatitra ny herisetra mihatra amin'ireo mpianatra Afrikanina ao amin'ny renivohitra (metropole). |
38 | Editor of Delhi-based Hardnews magazine Sanjay Kapoor tweeted: | Mpamoaka lahatsoratra ao amin'ny gazetiboky Hardnews miorina ao Delhi, Sanjay Kapoor nisioka hoe: |
39 | How can India be racist? reports of students from Africa getting beaten up in Delhi or Bangalore are sickening. | Nahoana no mpanavakavakam-piaviana i India? Mahasosotra ny vaovao momba ireo mpianatra avy ao Afrika voadaroka tao Delhi na Bangalore. |
40 | Need to fight this mindset. | Ilaina ny miady amin'ity fomba fisainana ity. |
41 | - sanjay kapoor (@sanjaykpr) July 20, 2013 | Anisan'ny vahaolana ny fahatsapan-tena. |
42 | Self-awareness is part of the solution. A broad, introspective examination of Indian racism on ScoopWhoop, a news and opinion portal, has resonated with many on social media: | Nanakoako niaraka tamin'ny maro tao amin'ny media sosialy ny Fandinihan-tena lalina momba ny fanavakavaham-piaviana Indiana tao amin'ny ScoopWhoop, vavahadim-baovao sy fanehoan-kevitra: |
43 | Indians are racists. | Mpanavakavam-bolokoditra ny Indiana. |
44 | To foreigners, To each other and to themselves: http://t.co/cCvvSTAgT1 #Fact of #India, often kept under the carpet. | Hoan'ny vahiny, Hoan'ny tsirairy ary ho azy ireo ihany: http://t.co/cCvvSTAgT1 #Fact [zavamisy] ao #India, matetika afenina. |
45 | - Sushovan Chaudhuri who is a cartoonist states, (@mesushovan) July 13, 2014 Through social media and networking, the collective conscience against racism is evolving. | Tamin'ny alalan'ny media sosialy sy ny tambajotran-tserasera, nivoatra ny fahatsapan-tena iombonana manohitra ny fanavakavaham-piaviana. |
46 | But there has to be many more sociopolitical campaigns and discussions from mainstream media and other agencies to tackle this grave issue. | Saingy tokony ho mbola maro ny fanentanana sy adihevitra momba ny sosio-politika avy amin'ny fampahalalam-baovao mahazatra sy ireo sampam-baovao hafa mba hiadiana amin'ity olana lehibe ity. |
47 | The talk has started, and the walk must follow. | Efa nanomboka ny resadresaka, ary tokony hanaraka ny tongotra. |
