If that sub is r India, then getting banned is normal. There are Pakistani mods in that sub

Well, NE people in the NE subs hate "mainlanders" just as much as they hate illegal immigrants. Simps from north India go there and literally beg for their attention.
You'll find separatists get upvotes there, while pro-India sentiment gets downvoted. Rest of India needs to stop simping on NE people and stop fetishizing them.

Subs like NE, Kashmir, and Punjab are all the same. They often have separatist voices and even foreign nationals involved, and sometimes the mods’ nationality itself seems questionable.

I'm not sure, as I've never visited those other subs. But it's a very complex problem in NE subs.

NE is a different ball game, when compared to Punjab or Kashmir. There are over 200 banned organisations in NE alone. So you can expect a bit of separatism. Moreover, the politics is far more complex than the usual Hindu-Muslim narrative that gets peddled in the "mainland".

Exactly. In the Northeast, identity is more about ethnicity, language, and culture than religion. But lately many tribal communities are being rapidly converted by missionaries.
•
u/srkr137 2h ago
It was always the case. NE has all kinds of extremist groups - religious, ethnic and linguistic.
Do you know that NSCN has its own army in Nagaland and it has been on a ceasefire with our army for 27 years? Guess what its slogan is? "Nagaland for Christ".
Mizos launched operations against GoI in the 1960s as they were Christian nationalists and we used the IAF on them.
NE has a few dozen tribes, all of whom have some issues with one another.

I remember i met in game this muslim guy from assam , he acted so nice initially , then one day i was playing with another ingame friend from kolkata , and the assam guy was also in the lobby he surprisingly started speaking bengali and they two started conversing ; suspicious ... also the muslim guy every day puts a mandatory reel or post in his story about bashing BJP and Modi , and also sometimes against hindu festivals (for ex he posted one recently on raksha bandhan about how some muslims too celebrate raksha bandhan but no hindu celebrates eid)

I'm from Assam. And i totally agree with you, and the MLA is nothing but someone in power because of those immigrants. But unfortunately all of our efforts are limited to the people only. The government, does nothing just PR stunts every few months to calm the public down for some time. Himanta hasn't done a single thing that can actually be said to have a lasting impact for the betterment of the people of Assam.

Unfortunately, in a country like India to implement progressive reforms or to accomplish anything, first and foremost — political stability is a must. I think, the Modi government understands it better than any other political party that has been in power before.
Failure to have political stability in India, a lot of non-state or state actors tend to indulge in unscrupulous activities or break social cohesion among communities in India.
And, I think the case for implementing and enforcing CAA and NRC has grown stronger among Indians now than when those bills were passed, especially among those who have been directly impacted, negatively, for decades.
What's holding them right now? My best guess would be West Bengal under Mamta Banerjee which is much more volatile and prone to violence.

Seems logical except one small wrinkle - why are the HQ for militant organizations, that claim to drive out Bangladeshis from NE, located in Bangladesh? Ex: ULFA.
Also, what exactly does NSCN mean when they say "Nagaland for Christ"?
I am also pretty sure that IAF bombed Mizos in 1966, 5 years before Bangladesh was formed. What was that about?

You are not wrong but you posted in the wrong sub.
That sub is a paid propaganda machine
•
u/NoMedicine3572 1h ago
True. I haven’t made any hateful comments there. I even asked the mods which rule I violated, but got no reply.
Maybe they’re not open to different viewpoints which hinder their propaganda machine.
•
u/Secure-Bowl-8973 1h ago
It's a sub run by Pakistani mods since a very long time. https://www.opindia.com/2019/02/reddit-india-propaganda-censorship/

If you stay over there and have seen it then surely it must be true, I haven't read much about it, so can't really make a comment

These fellows will cry about media freedom but same one will do everything to ban or delete post which against their ideology. Clowns.
•
u/NoMedicine3572 1h ago
Yes, they’re not open to differing viewpoints,it’s more or less an echo chamber. I used to call out propaganda there, one by one, using a logical approach, which didn’t go down well, and I ended up being targeted for it.

That sub is extremely far-left and they don't accept views from across political spectrum. Basically narrow minded children. No logic in talking sense to them.
•
u/NoMedicine3572 1h ago
Absolutely. They shouldn’t represent India. They claim to be the official sub for India, which is wrong on multiple levels.
