Synopsis
Economic deprivation, insurgencies and deadly ethnic clashes have driven thousands of impoverished men and women from the Northerneastern region of India to seek a better life in the towns and cities of mainland India and further abroad. Some find themselves working amidst the unimaginable opulence of five-star hotels, casinos and cruises. However, for many, their jobs in Delhi, Bengaluru, Goa and other metropoles make them targets of racism, sexual harassment and class exploitation.
