A strength move. I am not saying that you guys need to simp to us, but several people have had negative experiences. Fortunately, I was never once personally discriminated against or hated while miraculously spending time in Delhi, Chandigarh, Shimla, Jaipur, etc, so I can't relate, but the weird stares are definitely annoying.I have noticed they stick together a lot when they work in other parts of India eg the beauty parlors and restaurants. I have worked with a few restaurants and Nepali and N east cooks are often their first choice for certain cuisines but they say when 1 leaves the 5 or 6 along with that person follow suit too who agree to only work as a team.
As a Sikkimese, it's not difficult since most people assume me to be "nepali, garhwali" and have a neutral reaction if they ask where I am from. But someone coming from interiors of Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, etc., feel vulnerable and naturally so.
