The shameless conduct of Australians against poor & defenceless Indian students is an eye opener. Australia has been unmasked as a racist nation. To make matters worse they are in a constant state of denial and like to believe that attacks are opportunistic rather than racially motivated.

Thousands of Indian students travel to Australia, among other countries to study. They spend lakhs of rupees on undertaking useless courses. It is very likely that young Indians go to Australia on student visa hoping to get themselves permanent residency and look forward to to be able to stay there forever. However their dreams crash land when they reach there. Since the cost of living is high they have to do unskilled jobs for long durations just to sustain themselves. There is no security or civil concern for these students and most of the schools are just interested in making money and exploiting them.

Attacks on Indians in Australia are continuing unabated. Repeated assaults on India have strained diplomatic ties between India and Australia. Latest amid a string of attacks on Indians in Australia, with 21-year-old Nitin Garg, who was stabbed to death by unidentified assailants.  Australia is in a state of denial on the racially motivated attacks against Indians and has failed to deal with the issue.

Indian government has again failed to protect its citizens. Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna has warned that continued violence against Indian students could damage relations and called for an immediate ‘corrective action’ by Australia. However the reactions from Australian establishment have been very irresponsible and are not taking the issue seriously.

It is time to take some action.
Few steps can be taken immediately, such as – issuing a travel ban on Australia. Boycotting Australian products. Not allowing cricket players in IPL may also have some effect as they stand to loose monetarily. If attacks on Indians continue unabated we may loose our dignity worldwide and will be treated just like slave labourers.
