Outrage is brewing ever since a Manipuri woman complained that she faced racial harassment at the Delhi international airport, where an immigration official claimed she didn’t look Indian. The woman, identified as Monika Khangembam, revealed her experience in a Facebook post that has since gone viral.

She was heading to Seoul in South Korea for a conference when the immigration official stopped her and made racist remarks. Thinking he was being funny, he then quizzed her about the states in India in a bid to “know her Indianness”.
