Racism is a deep-seated evil that benefits only some section or dominant group of people in the society, and discriminates the minority and weaker sections without any compassion. The book is meant to familiarize the readers with this evil from different perspectives, such as, biblical; theological and ethical; historical and legal; gender; tribal; ministerial and mass media. The articles set forth pertinent issues and concerns related to racism that are faced by the people of India in general and North East India in particular.
