AUSTRALIA- DANGEROUS DESTINATION FOR AFRO-ASIAN STUDENTS
‘Racism’ is one of the biggest problem faced by the many people of the mostly Asian and African countries especially by India in recent years. Racism is conducted mostly by the world’s most developed countries like US, UK and now by Australia.
In the recent years, Indian students are assaulted often who take Education in Australian Universities. These students like 1000s of others, went to Australia in search of quality Educational opportunities to fulfill their dreams. Recent incident of attacking an Indian student, nephew of famous Indian cricket star ‘Harbhajan Singh’ , Upkar Singh. Other victim was 25 year old Shravan Kumar, who was stabbed with a screw driver by group of teenagers. The worrisome is the fact that there appears to be a racist background to these incidents. They are apparently part of a new fad-‘curry bashing’- a term used to describe act of assaulting Indian students with an intension to rob.
This incident had badly affected the racially neutral image of the Australia, and have created the fear in the minds of the thousands of Overseas students who dream,plan to study in Australia definitely. An Indian community leader in australlia has claimed that over 20 incidents of ‘curry bleshing’ have taken place in Sydeny in last 30 days. Above mentioned victim ‘Shravan’ adviced his fellow countrymen against going down under. Another terrific news has come out that the leading newspaper in Australia-‘Sydeny morning Herald’ said that Indians aren’t only ones, Vietnamese and Saudi Students are heavily assaulted in Australia.
So we all Indians should protest by coming together not only against this incidents, but against the ‘Racism’ which is the basic reason behind such dirty and cruel incidences. So “Say No to Racism”

Hello Omkar..
A very nice article on the recent unfortunate happenings. Yes you are right that Racism is a big curse to the human civilization and has affected millions of people across the globe.
It is really heartening to see that people do not seem to learn from the previous experiences and dangerous results that emerged out of such hatred.
This is high time that our world leaders take a stance and try and resolve this issue as swiftly as possible.

thank you for your response. I am very pleased that there are some people who are aware of this fact, because most of us don't pay attention to such issues.

Its not a new thing. Its the same that is going on with the North Indian in Mumbai or Maharashtra. Its quiet evident from the fact that large number of people from India migrating to other countries for job and study. offcourse it was bound to create a tense atmosphere once the local people out there would be deprived of basic study and work. This is nothing new and am not surprised at all.
