Racial attacks on Indians in Australia

Racial attacks on Indians,especially Indian students in Australia is deeply disturbing.

From all available reports,it seems these attacks are solely targeted against Indian Nationals and amazingly there seems to be no end in sight.

The reasons for these attacks have not yet been reported,even though the Australian police ,by now,might be knowing this from the interrogations being carried out on some of the suspects.It's better if Australia comes out in the open about the reasons for these attacks,because there seems to be a pattern in all these attacks.The fact that Indians alone are being targeted also need special probe.


I have many friends working in Australia as software engineers.I am worried about their safety and the safety of other Indian Nationals.Families having their near and dear ones in Australia might be having sleep-less nights these days.

The Australian government should deal with this situation very seriously and root out this menace.

They should also keep in mind that the continuous occurrence of these kinds of attacks on Indians is not good for India-Australia relationship.

Of course,nobody can blame Australia or Australian people as a whole for the violent racist attacks by a select few Australian nationals.But this is tarnishing the image of Australia as a peaceful and friendly nation.Precisely for this reason it's high time the Australian government act ruthlessly against these troublemakers.

The government might already be doing this,but let's hope they will be successful in bringing the count of reported/unreported attacks on Indians in future to ZERO.

Some of the images being telecast on news channels, of those Indians who were attacked,are very very disturbing.
Hopefully the Indian community in Australia will be very careful and will seek all possible peaceful measures to tackle attacks on them...
