what people say about us

As a student passionate about exploring different cultures, Humans of Northeast India has been a revelation for me. I first learned about this incredible initiative during a college presentation on cultural diversity. The stories shared here are not just anecdotes; they are windows into the hearts and souls of the people of the Northeast. These narratives have inspired me to travel, learn, and connect with people from different backgrounds. It's more than just a collection of stories; it's a catalyst for personal growth and understanding. Thank you for broadening my horizons!

I have always been fascinated by the diversity of our country, but Humans of Northeast India brought a whole new perspective to my understanding. The stories shared on this platform provide a glimpse into lives, struggles, and triumphs that are often overlooked in mainstream narratives. The resilience and unique cultures of the people in the Northeast have inspired me to embrace diversity, celebrate differences, and approach life with a broader perspective. I am grateful for the eye-opening experience that these stories have offered me.

Discovering Humans of Northeast India was a game-changer for me! I stumbled upon this treasure trove of stories about the people, places, and cultures of the region when a friend shared a post. The narratives are so rich, diverse, and inspiring. Each story has become a source of motivation for me in my daily life. It's not just about learning about a region; it's about understanding the essence of humanity in its many forms. Thank you for opening my eyes to the incredible region of the Northeast!
