The three successive attacks in less than three weeks on Indian students in Melbourne are shocking. Australia has become one of the most favoured destinations for overseas students but the attacks which smack of traces of racism reflects on its society and the government. The deplorable incident which has seen six Indian students being murderously attacked in 18 days, one of whom is battling for his life, has evoked outrage in New Delhi leading the External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna to strongly condemn the attacks even as the Australian government has assured India that it would not tolerate discrimination against any international student.

The current series of attacks is not the first. For the last two years, there has been a steady increase in attacks on the Indian student community in Melbourne. Most of these incidents have gone unreported and the Victorian police has done precious little to do something about it even though the Indian Consulate in Melbourne and the High Commission in Canbarra have repeatedly been raising this matter with the Australian authorities. There are about 98,000 Indian students in Australia of which 47,000 are in Melbourne alone making it the second largest grouping of foreign students in this Australian metropolis. Most Indian students enroll in Australian educational institutions with the intention of settling there with an attractive job. Many Indian students, however, end up driving taxis and working at night as cleaners, in take away joints and petrol pumps mainly to pay for their studies. Thus students returning to their homes in not so safe suburbs that are relatively cheap on rent present vulnerable and soft targets to drug addicts, drunks and rowdy elements.

The attacks have been due a mix of racism and opportunism. But there is still the question of why Indians are being selectively targeted and that too mostly only in Melbourne. Education contribution to Victoria economy, most of it by foreign students, was estimated at $ 4.5 billion last year alone. This year enrolment of Indian students has increased by 40 percent. Surely both the Australian and the Victorian government need to do more than issue condemnatory statements. Else, such attacks may have repercussions with that country being labeled unsafe for Indian students who may start looking elsewhere for studies abroad. At stake also in Australia image as a democratic country, free from racial prejudice.

I think indians are better off now a days and they do not need to always jump out of their country to proove some point to their relatives/peers/to themselves by travelling to stange places. Material things have a limit (limited by time) to make one happy. Unless there is love there is no point sticking to some place/strange country. COME BACK TO INDIA.

I am living in the same block with 2 indians family. I wonder if they have problem wif there ears, they play very loud Hindu every day. Everytime they were talking to each other in their apartment, i could not stop myself to think there'r a fight or something in there. On tram or bus they came in wif there unique smell. Experience wif Indian is terrible. I wish one day I come to 7/11, there is not any Indian there.

The violence should stop period. That is racist, and horrilbe. No fee paying student should have to tolerate this kind of nonsense from a sick country like OZ. Australia is forgetting that education is their third larget export after coal and ironore. These students pour in millions of dollars directly and billions indirectly into the economy. Its good that even Chinese Govt has give a warning now and joined India to warn OZ. If India and China puts sanctions to OZ and students and tourist stop going there there I dont know what will happen to local population there.

There are many, many nationalities/races living together in Australian society. There is also an ever increasing influx of students from other countries and no doubt regardless of colour or creed, verbal and physical attacks happen regardless if one is Indian, Asian, European or Australian. I note from personal experience that students while in the University arena are treated with equality. The problems arise when outside in the general populace. All countries tend to have racist behaviour in one form or another including Australia. The Australian government needs to work towards providing a safe environment for all persons, regardless of gender, sexual preference, age, ethic background or any other distinct differences.

Escaping racism is easy. GO HOME (Unless you're Dalit). As the job losses in the US keep increasing, this action may come to America. Quit raping the world's economies just because in 5,000 years you can't create one and are just parasites and vermin.

India protest against racism is an international joke. India has its own racism called "castism". Millions of Dalis are beaten to death each year. http://www.dalitnetwork.org/

You filthy slumdogs got JUST WHAT YOU DESERVED. You bring your filthy racist ways to the west, ethnically cleanse whites out of IT, kick the crap kicked out of you and now you want our SYMPATHY! Take a flying leap you dogs! Ever heard of Karma? What does around comes around. 10 years of raping the west and now it comes back to bite you HA HA HA!!!!

This stuff will probably start happening in the USA. Corrupt Indians have been systematically ethnically cleansing American techies out of the US I.T. industry and flooding the market with their low-wage, slow-skill dowry dogs. THERE WILL BE RETRIBUTION

Hope there is more violence to these slumdogs. THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY. Stop ruining countries and people's lives.

For all the australians posting on this site, I would like to remind them that they have no culture of their own in the first place but whatever they say is theirs is merely borrowed from other explorers from civilisations across the world. The sick fools lick and suck each others asses, dicks and pussies all over and call it sex and seem to be having a problem seeing us wipe our bottoms clean ... jealous is the word. A bigger failure in all this mess is the australian government and police as they turned out to be suckers big time in not being able to control all this mess. paul, donald and lauren GO FCUK URSELF 2 DEATH as u definetely are one of those who is bound to get it once out of fckin australia.
