From past few months Indian students and people are becoming victims of attacks from Australians and recent incident of yesterday was when mob of 80 people beat Indians and some were shouting "go back to India". What we should do now ? What steps our government should take to stop such activities against Indians in Australia ? Do you think Australians are racist?
 
I think the press have overstated the issue creating fear in the minds of indians . While the incidents are to be condemned i dont think that there exists a specific movement to oust out indians. Fear will only breed more fear

ustralia is a country of multiple cultures with a broadminded liberal and comprehensive society. Most of the people of Australia are Europeans with a huge number of aboriginal population which forms Aboriginal Australian culture and these people have there own Australian culture food as well.


Australia has earned a desirable international status for its variety and lenience. It has become the habitat for residents of more than 200 countries. Foundation of modern Australian society is based on the upliftment of all the sections of people. Following the democratic principles totally, Australia Society and Culture gives liberty to all citizens to practice their own culture and religion. For the convenience of the people english has been adapted as the official language.
 
Multiculturalism
Australia continues to benefit from its multicultural make-up – one of the most diverse in the world – enjoying a wealth of ideas, cuisines and lifestyles. The last census reported that 23% of the population is foreign-born, and over 40% of Australians are of mixed cultural origins. Every four minutes and eight seconds Australia gains another international immigrant. Many foreign-born Australians came from Italy and Greece after WWII, but recent immigrants have mostly come from New Zealand and the UK, as well as China, Vietnam, Africa and India, among many other places. Some 2.2% of the population identifies itself as of Aboriginal origin, and most live in the Northern Territory. Australia's other Indigenous people, Torres Strait Islanders, are primarily a Melanesian people, living in north Queensland and on the islands of the Torres Strait between Cape York and Papua New Guinea.
 
Aus blames India of fuelling hysteria over attacks

Melbourne: The Australian government, reacting to the travel advisory issued by Ministry of External Affairs to Indian living in and planning to visit Australia, has said that Indian leaders have been fuelling hysteria over safety.

Australia's acting Foreign Minister Simon Crean on Wednesday said there has been no evidence to show that attacks on Indians have been racially motivated.

"Indian leaders should avoid fuelling hysteria, Melbourne is safe for visitors," said Crean.

"Even over the Christmas period there has been a spate of stabbings. This unfortunately is a violent threat and a violent tendency that has emerged. It so happens that one of the victims is Indian. There have been other victims. Australia and Melbourne is not the only city in the world in which this happens. It also happens in Delhi, it happens in Mumbai, and it is the responsibility of all law enforcement authorities to get on top of those issues," said Crean.

Even Australian Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard defended the security situation in her country while responding to the Indian travel advisory.

Gillard claimed violence was common worldwide and maintained that Australia has always been a safe country.

In big cities around the world we do see acts of violence from time to time; that happens in Melbourne, it happens in Mumbai, it happens in New York, it happens in London," Gillard told The ABC.

But later on Wednesday Australian High Commissioner to Insdia Peter Varghese claimed that the word "hysterical" was never used and accused Indian media of playing up the issue.

"Australia will not tolerate racial attacks. It is not realistic to completely finish the crime rate. Indian media has acted like a beast in the case. Some have been very balanced but some have exaggerated (the issue)," Varghese said in New Delhi.

Australian authorities claimed that there is still no evidence that the attack on Nitin Garg, who was stabbed to death in Melbourne on the night of January 2, was racially motivated.

They say Australia is a safe place for international students and migrants.

The eight-point travel advisory issued by Indian government says Indians should avoid going out in the night and report "complaints" to Indian diplomatic missions in Australia.

The advisory was issued even as Australian police confirmed that the burnt body found in New South Wales on January 1 is of Ranjot Singh from Patiala.

The 25-year-old Singh is the second Indian found murdered in Australia in the past few days. Nitin Garg, a 21-year-old student, was stabbed to death on his way to work in Melbourne.
