It seems, spas with doctors is the next big thing. Walk into a spa which has music, scented aroma candles, but here you’ll meet a professional doctor rather than a Linda from the North-East. And order for yourself a quick botox, lunchtime peel, nip-and-tuck liposuction or a nose surgery.
The under-the-line statement of the bolded phrase is very clear. What the writer actually meant is this – people from the North East who works at Spas are unprofessional and cheap and could be indulging in dirty businesses.
Was there any need to include that? Is the story, in anyway, related to the Northeast? Another stunt of an unknown journalist? What the heck is the Editor of Times of India allowing that sort of comment in the story?
This is yet another defamation and insult to the North East people – using the ever increasing irresponsible Indian media. In cases such as this, involving the News media which claims to use the ‘freedom of speech’, as a tool to discriminate races and colors, are there any ways to file defamation suits against them?
The authorities need to look into these matters, as cases of abusing the media is increasing against the NE people.

Just read the article again:”..rather than a Linda from the North-East”! Just too degrading and insulting!! Absolutely insensitive reporting! I think she should apologise to the NE people, especially to NE girls!! For me, I cannot help taking it seriously!!

Whether we zir or not, I see no reason for the comment to be made unnecessarily in the story. It is never part of the story that the reporter wrote. Anyway, how many of us zir bik lo? Does that make such insulting reporting justifiable? What is there the need to generalize the whole people from the NE? Even 1 in a 100 indulges dirtily, that doesn’t necessitates a portrayal of such an insulting image.

Hei hi TIMES OF INDIA ka mail dan thenkhat a nih hi.
…In the second para’, you use,”but here you’ll meet professional doctor and not Linda from the North-East.” Is this the way to defame your own countrymen? Myself, I work in the U.S. where I have helped a lot of typical Indian people, in many ways. Would you Indians from India see us (N.E people) descriminate them (here in the US) and not feel upset? I think we should rather look at each other as people from one big strong nation and not otherwise.

Nona Walia mail ka thawn ve ta. Hetiangin:
Dear Nona Walia,
I am pained and feel insulted by a line in your article which says..”but here you’ll meet a professional doctor rather than a Linda from the North-East”. Being one from the North-East, I could not help but felt insulted by your obvious contempt of the people from the North-East India. You might have seen some “Linda” from the North-East, but please do not base your judgement of any group of people just by your knowledge of one or a few of them! India is a big country with so many diverse cultures and beliefs. While every right thinking people in India try to build unity in the midst of diversity, insensitve comments such as yours will only make things worse! Please refrain from making such an insensitive and insulting remarks in the future.
