I remember the Bhai Bhai slogans we, as schoolkids, were made to repeat for some sarkari function ! <br />Its sad that even today, the North East people are seen as foreigners here in south India.

But, it is sad to say that to an average Indian, mention of 'China' now first brings to mind only double-faced diplomats...And, language barrier anywhere generally poses problems to tourists in day-to-day life - even in 'India' itself, for I was a foreigner, 'videkhi' or 'mayang' etc. in the northeast 'India' in the eighties... <br /><br />Please convey thanks, to daughter for the nice pictures!JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374795168555108039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357977015036278715.post-55158024118817827402010-02-28T09:38:10.162+05:302010-02-28T09:38:10.162+05:30That was a wonderful account.
