India is one of the most racist country.
The Indian football captain is called Nepali can only imagine the plight of North East people here. People not knowing Chhetri is still fine. But society has sort of normalised chinki, Nepali etc towards them.

"The Indian football captain is called Nepali can only imagine the plight of North East people here," the user wrote.

"People not knowing Chhetri is still fine. But society has sort of normalised chinki, Nepali etc towards them," he wrote, before adding "It's shameful."

Twitter users were infuriated by the comment, with one user jotting down that the user who made the racist remark has been reported. "Nobody undermines Sunil Chhetri," he added.

The Instagram user's account who made the distasteful remark has been deactivated.

"Absolutely pathetic," one user wrote.

"Kids should be educated about diversity among people and culture. North East is just mentioned. It deserves much more attention than that. There is a lack of awareness. Sadly we know very little about the North East of our own country," another user wrote.

Sunil Chhetri has set himself up as a legend in Indian football. He is country’s highest ever goal scorer, with 72 goals for India.
