A few weeks back, Ninong Ering faced racism by three non-Northeastern YouTubers of India who termed Ninong Ering as Chinese and non-Indian based upon his 'looks', also went a step ahead, and said Arunachal Pradesh itself is in China following Ering's demand to stop relaunch of PUBG in India.

That caused a social outrage immediately among the Northeastern. Police booked one YouTuber Paras Singh from Punjab and handed him over to Arunachal police.

But the fire of racism stoked inside of every northeastern finally burst out and they are not ready to let this go easily this time.

All made out education system accountable where due to a lack of information about Northeast India in other parts of the country, the so-called 'mainland', do not know about this region, and that lack of knowledge results in racism. Hence the Northeastern came out together asking a place for them in school textbooks.

Ninong Ering reminded, "These demands are on the line of key recommendations made by Bezbaruah Committee Report and also a Private member bill introduced by me in 2017 for the compulsory teaching of North East Syllabus."
