This isn't the first time and we're afraid it isn't the last. In fact today, just a day after the attack on a Manipuri man in Bangalore, two young men from Nagaland have been beaten up near Delhi by a local gang, reports Hindustan Times. And guess what they were allegedly told while being assaulted? "If you were from Manipur, we would have killed you."
In what appears to be a hate crime in Bangalore, 26-year-old engineering student T Michael Lamjathang Haokip from Manipur was attacked past midnight by three alleged cab drivers, Times Now reports.
According to CNN-IBN, two others, Ngamkholen Haokip, 28, and Rocky Kipgen, 25, who were with Michael when he was attacked also sustained minor injuries.
"They hit me with stones because I was speaking in the Thadou language. I got five stitches. I have filed a complain. This was a racist attack," Michael told the news channel.
