Racist Australia Let us first begin by defining racism
Remember Gandhi being thrown out of a train from a first class compartment inspite of having a first class ticket…That is racism
What not is racism?
Being mugged for walking in a bad neighborhood.
I mean yes people are getting mugged in Australia but they are everyone not just Indian’s I mean everyone is getting mugged there. Victoria is a bad neighborhood, it is not that they are specifically targeting Indian or they are going like “O he is an Indian lets mug him’
what do you expect when you are walking in Bihar at the middle of the night?
I am sure that you are not expecting some one come and give you a bunch of flowers .
Exactly this is what is happening in Victoria.
Indian students come back from jobs late at night and well they are walking back and there is some drunk chap who is drunk and is looking for free cigg or money and well mugs you.
I am not supporting the guy who is mugging but this is not racism If you want examples of racism then it would be you not getting a job on the basis of your color. This does not happen in Australia.
Indians are present is all the posts in Australia, from petrol pump attendant to a highly paid executive in good MNC. And more over Indians are regarded as highly educated and good English speakers. (Huh!)The only racial abuse I heard in the past 6 month was once at YMCA of Perth and that was “Thank you come, again” (Appu from Simpsons) .I guess the guy was trying to make a conversation with me ..he was smiling … but I didn’t really get it at the first instance (not so smart huh)
Times are tough in Australia, the mining industry, the main stay, is shutting down in Australia people have lost jobs and they are coming back to towns to get some jobs, they cannot find jobs and well there is tension, tension is everywhere, even in India, but let’s not give colorist names to them.
Bad economy shows an increase in crime .Simple plain economics
Well I am happy that the government of India cares about me…well it never cared about me when I was in India…now that I am out of India.
But really the bottom line is that Victoria is a bad suburb and it is more of a crime rate issue rather than a racial abuse. And also personally I think that the Australia govt was slow on acting to this.
I mean you hit a foreigner in India and the GOI (Govt of India w)will hit you back like a jumbo jet. (Graham stain killings, scarlet O hare murder, the last I read about a foreigner loosing his dog in Delhi during dial and the Delhi police did everything in their might to get it back, anyone read this?)
But yes the Australia govt seems to have taken the street violence lightly and is now paying for it.
India is about to issue a travel advisory on Australia.
BCCI to not play cricket with Australia.
I mean yes…India is pissed at Australia for not selling uranium to them under Chinese pressure…and if this is the way GOI is going to go about it then so be it.
Singh is king!!
Let me know your views I live in Perth not Victoria, so this is a third mans opinion

Crying “Racism” every time a Indian gets mugged anywhere in the world except India is your solution ???
If this is your solution then you are a racist….not the Australians.
I really enjoyed reading this post of yours. A totally clear cut view that is absolutely logical and definitely more acceptable than what the TV channels and newspapers have been saying. Thanks
