Are Indian Students Safe In Australia

An incident was reported about an attack on two students in Australia of Indian origin, in Sydney Australia. The incident has sparked the safety alarm for thousands of parents whose children are studying in Australia, especially from punjab as a vast number of students have gone for vocation and specialized educational course there.

Various NGO and regional organizations along with parents have requested Indian Government to discuss the issue with AU counterparts and to actively take action against the offenders.

The recent alleged racial attack has put concerns and worries about the educational destination. The authorities have arrested couple teenagers and have put them under inquiry. One of the victims - Shravan Kumar - is still in a critical condition.

Prime Minister Rudd said that the overwhelming majority of Indian students were safe and that he took the issue of the security of all foreign students in Australia very seriously. He said that he was appalled by the attacks and that the concerned authorities would work to bring the perpetrators to justice,’’ a PMO release said.

Really unfortunate Sir.

One more Indian student attacked in Australia

A 23 year old Indian student was beaten up for the second time in a fortnight by a group of youths in Melbourne, the 11th person from the community to be assaulted within a space of a month in Australia.

 

Kamal Jit was found unconscious and bleeding by another Indian student in western suburb of the city on Sunday.

It was the second attack in two weeks on Jit who was previously pelted with eggs by several masked men after getting off a late night train at
St Albans station in western suburb.

"It is very bad because we pay a lot of money and we are living far away from our country and from our families and we are without protection," Jit was quoted as saying in Australian daily newspaper on Monday.

As he walked home at about
1:40 am on Sunday Jit said that he noticed three men acting suspiciously in a car and he tried to avoid them.

He then saw two men come out of it near a pizza shop while another waited in the car.

"The two guys pushed me to the ground and I was hit on the head, I think with a steel rod," Jit said.
 
Jit who required seven stitches after the blow to his head, said he do not want to live in the suburb any longer.

Jit's friends said the attack was the sixth or seventh over the past week on the Indian students and called for extra police at the suburb of
St Albans station at night.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman was quoted by the newspaper as saying that extra police, increased surveillance and mobile patrols had been deployed around train stations.

The Australian Government had last week announced setting up of a Task Force headed by the National Security Adviser to deal with such violence.

Hundreds of Indian students on Sunday rallied in
Sydney to protest against the attacks.

Apart from Indians there were students from other countries at the rally who voiced their concerns about the racial violence and demanded police to be alert to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Just ahead of the rally, another youth from the community complained about his newly-bought car being torched outside his home in
Melbourne
