‘Everyone Looks the Same’: Yatra Guru Ji Under Fire for Controversial Remark on Nagaland People

June 28, 2025, 4:43 pm

Bhanwar Lal Vishnoi, popularly known as Yatra Guru Ji, a Rajasthan-based travel YouTuber, is under heavy fire for material that many believe is disrespecting women of Nagaland and other tribal groups. His recent YouTube uploads, accompanied by titillating thumbnails and insensitive headings, have provoked severe outrage across social media sites.

The row deepened after a video posted on June 18 featured Vishnoi commenting on the looks of citizens of Nagaland. In that video, he said, “There’s something I want to say, the faces here all look kind of similar. As I walk ahead into a more crowded area, I feel like I’ve seen these people before. Then I see someone else and once more, I think I’ve met them already. All the faces look extremely alike. I’m not mocking anyone, but I’m simply stating what I feel genuinely. It’s like everyone looks the same.”

Take a look:

Even as he attempted to soften the blow by issuing a warning, his remarks were criticized as ignorant and racially insensitive. The residents and social media users were swift to denounce the remarks, with claims that he was perpetuating harmful stereotypes. Several are now calling for legal action against the vlogger for insulting tribal communities through his videos.

Apart from his verbal comments, people have also faulted the way his videos portray Nagaland and the Northeast. Although Vishnoi primarily talks about these places, the thumbnails usually have local women underrepresented and misrepresented, with captions that have enraged people. Arunachal Pradesh research scholar Heenu Riba expressed to The Print, “He has exotified our bodies. He is not portraying our culture in the videos, but selling our bodies for his views.”

After the uproar, Yatra Guru Ji posted a second video apologizing to Northeastern people for misrepresenting women and hurting their feelings. He told the audience that his team is presently working on changing the thumbnails. In the course of his apology, Bhanwar Lal Vishnoi also defended his previous decisions, saying he employed such images and titles because they attract more viewers. Meanwhile, he insisted that his videos are “clean” and intended to deliver informative content.

Watch:

Adding a new twist in the controversy, Bhanwar Lal Vishnoi has earlier worked with YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, who is now facing grave criticism for suspectedly leaking sensitive details about the Indian Army following Operation Sindoor. The two were also spotted together on various trips, such as when they visited Nagaland’s Hornbill Festival in 2024.

Explore The Indian State Perfect For Stargazing: Night Sky Magic

March 9, 2025, 1:07 pm

In Northeast India, Nagaland is emerging as a popular tourist destination, not just for its natural beauty but also as a prime spot for stargazing. With pristine skies, minimal pollution, and its location in the Himalayan foothills, the state offers breathtaking views ideal for observing meteor showers and deep-sky objects, making it one of India’s best-kept secrets for astrophotography.

Discovering Dzükou Valley

One of Nagaland’s most prominent stargazing spots is Dzükou Valley, also known as the “Valley of the Flowers of the North East.” Located at the border of Nagaland and Manipur, just behind the majestic Japfu peak, this valley sits at an altitude of 2,438 meters above sea level. The scenic landscape is further enhanced by two picturesque rivers—the Dzukou and Japfu—that meander through the valley, providing a serene backdrop for night sky observation.

Travel Tips and Permits

For Indian nationals, permits are generally not required to enter Dzükou Valley. However, foreign travelers should verify the latest regulations with local authorities, as registration might be necessary. Additionally, due to poor mobile connectivity in the remote area, visitors are advised to inform someone about their travel plans before embarking on the trek.

Assam Police Busts Interstate Illegal Liquor Smugglers

July 23, 2024, 7:45 pm

Assam Police have busted a gang in Golaghat district that was illegally smuggling English liquor on a large scale into Nagaland, a neighboring state where alcohol is prohibited. The police had been tracking this gang for a long time.

Sources informed TDG that the police received a tip-off, leading to an operation under the leadership of two sub-inspectors from Golaghat district. During the operation, two drivers of a liquor pickup truck were detained near Makrang Tinali in Golaghat. Five people in a Bolero vehicle, which was escorting the truck, were also taken into custody. The detainees are Jeem Jindang, Deepak Dutt, Vedant Madhav Bora, Sumant Bora, Kalyan Dutt, Bipul Deuri, driver Ziaur Rahman, and Rubul Ali.

Who are these detainees?

Jeem Jindang is from Karbi Anglong district, while the others are from Jorhat. Golaghat District Security Superintendent Rajen Singh told the media that the consignment of liquor was originally planned to be delivered to a wine shop in Mariani from a ware house in Jorhat. However, two days later, it was intended to be smuggled into Nagaland via Merapani.

Acting on the secret information, the police set up a checkpoint near Makrang Tinali and arrested the smugglers along with the liquor pickup truck. The police also detained Vipul Deuri, the owner of a wine shop in Mariani, and brought him to the police station.

The police seized various brands of liquor from the truck, with a market value of around Rs 39 lakh. A case has been registered against the accused under the NDPS and Smuggling Act, and further action has begun.

Nagaland banned liquor in 1989. The Nagaland Liquor Total Prohibition Act was passed on April 24, 1990. Despite this ban, in recent years, liquor has replaced drugs in terms of addiction. In February 2024, the Nagaland DGP stated, “Drugs have replaced liquor as bribe for voters in poll-bound Nagaland.”

14 Japanese Students Hospitalized After Eating Ghost Pepper Chips

July 18, 2024, 11:48 am

At least 14 high school students in Japan were hospitalized after eating potato chips made with Indian ghost pepper, known as bhut jolokia. According to local reports, around 30 students tried the extremely spicy chips, which were brought to a Tokyo school by a male student on July 16 “just for fun.” Despite a warning on the packet stating that the product should not be consumed by anyone under 18, the students went ahead and ate the chips. Many soon started complaining of nausea and pain in their mouths. The school immediately alerted the police and fire department, saying several students were having difficulties after eating the chips. 14 students, all male except for one female, were taken to the hospital.

Company’s Response
Isoyama Corp, the company that makes the chips, reiterated the over-18 warning in a statement after the incident.

“People under 18 should refrain from eating this product because it is too spicy,” the company said, according to The Independent. “Not only people who are not good with spicy foods but also those who enjoy spicy foods need to be cautious while eating this product.” A company representative apologized for the incident and wished the students a speedy recovery.

The controversial chips are Isoyama Corp’s “R 18+ Curry Chips.” On its website, the company “forbids” people under the age of 18 from trying the chips, warning that they are “so spicy that they may cause you pain.” The company also advises people with weak stomachs and high blood pressure to avoid the product.

Bhut jolokia, one of the hottest chili peppers in the world, originates from Northeast India, particularly Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur. It held the Guinness World Record for the world’s hottest chili pepper from 2007 to 2011.

The third day of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra began early on Tuesday in Kohima, Nagaland. The yatra started in Sekmai and finished its route through Manipur on Monday. On the third day of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’s journey, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi met the people of Kohima, Nagaland this morning. Here, the Yatra came to an end on Monday night. On X, Congressman Jairam Ramesh poked fun at Prime Minister Modi by bringing up the state of the roads in Nagaland.

“The third day of Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will soon begin from Viswema near Kohima. Meanwhile, going from last night’s campsite to the starting point of the journey via NH29 is a punishment in itself. The ground realities are far from the Prime Minister’s claims,” he said.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday expressed gratitude to the people of Manipur after his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra crossed the state and entered Nagaland on Monday evening.
In a post on social media, Rahul said that he will continue to stand and fight for the people of Manipur.

Rahul Gandhi stated in another post on X that our journey is a salve of love and unity for the Indian soul that has been wounded by the politics of division and neglect of the BJP.

These were the first elections since the Election Commission recognised the faction led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as the real Shiv Sena giving it the party name and symbol. The faction led by Uddhav Thackeray had supported Congress and NCP candidates on the two seats.
In Jharkhand, the assembly bypoll to Ramgarh seat was won by All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU) an ally of BJP.
Home Minister Amit Shah hailed the party’s performance in Tripura and Nagaland and said it was a historic day for the northeast.

The counting of votes in the Meghalaya Assembly elections will be held on Thursday amid tight security arrangements.

“All necessary arrangements have been made with respect to tomorrow.

The Meghalaya CEO said there will be three-tiered security arrangements, with CAPF guarding the innermost layer and state-armed police keeping vigil over the second and third layers.

The counting centres are all placed under CCTV and webcast surveillance during the entire period. There will be a total of 383 rounds of counting, with a maximum of nine rounds for the biggest assembly constituency, Mawlai in East Khasi Hills District, and four rounds for smaller ACs like Dalu in West Garo Hills District, according to the CEO.

According to the Election Commission, the counting in all 13 centres will commence at 8 a.m. on Thursday. The counting will initially begin with a postal ballot count for the first 30 minutes, followed by the counting of polled votes in the EVM Control Units. The CEO, accompanied by the District Electoral Officer (DEO) and Superintendent of Police, has already personally inspected the counting arrangements at the East Khasi Hills Counting Centre at Polo Grounds, Shillong, which has the state’s maximum number of 14 counting halls, one for each assembly constituency.

Notably, Sarma is the convenor of the North-East Democratic Alliance (NEDA). As per the report, it has been said that both Chief Ministers took part in a crucial meeting in a hotel in Guwahati, and the meeting lasted for half an hour. Following the meeting, the Meghalaya Chief Minister returned to Tura in the West Garo Hills.

Earlier on Tuesday, Meghalaya’s CM hinted at forming a post-poll alliance to form the government. The exit polls published by various media groups predicted that the northeastern state would have a hung house, with Sangma’s NPP emerging as the single-largest party. Following this, Conrad Sangma said that he would keep all options open to form a stable government.
