Sir,

Last Thursday, June 19th, a young woman photographer from Nagaland was kept from entering your lounge bar, Urban Pind, on your expatriate night, because she was from the Northeast. Her friends, a German professional and a south Indian editor, were allowed in. Your management, after seeing the Naga woman's face, said she wasn't 'of the right profile' and demanded to know which country she was from. The woman has sent Urban Pind a legal notice, and since then, your management has tried to deny charges. On national television you have admitted of having made a mistake, but are still refusing to contact the girl's lawyers or make a public apology, as per the legal notice.

This is just one of other incidents at Urban Pind and other bars, lounges etc in Delhi. One of many incidents of discrimination against people from the Northeast - and indeed those of all non 'Indian' colours and ethnicities. This incident has sparked a wave of outrage nation wide, as well as an outpouring of frustration from people who have until this moment been unable to speak up.
A peaceful protest outside Urban Pind has been organized on this Thursday, July 3rd, starting 8 pm.

This petition is to support the protest against racial discrimination in India. We, who are living outside India, still would like to make our voices heard and show our support towards a movement against such racist outrages.
Thank you,

    • This is a very shameful act. The north east people are Indian. Even otherwise, it is so racist to allow a German but not a Naga woman.

    • This discremination is going on for too long it is NOT acceptable.The Capital administrators turn a blind eye to it everytime, we complain.It is a shame considering the Prime Ministers Constituency is the North East.This behavior should be punishable by LAW, if we are to move into the 21st Century.If they did this to somebody from Maharashtra or Bihar the whole country would come to a Stand Still.
