“There is a lot of jeolousy towards Indians because they acquire the best jobs and show a commitment to work and family that Australians rarely show” — So, Indian people are superior to us it seems… smells like racism to me. As for the best jobs, most Indians in Sydney seem to work as cab drivers, in small shops and in Petrol stations – and good on them, somebody has to – but the “best jobs” ?????
But I am just a jelous white guy with no commitment to anything – so what do I know!

Loads of Australians have been murdered in India – about 1 a year, almost an entire family in 1999,
some poor girl in 2008:

Dawn Emilie Griggs, raped and murdered in 2004, some guy beaten to death in Goa in 2008 – and that’s only ones that I know of, there’s also been rapes:

If anybody actually bothered to do a study, I am sure they would find that Australians are at greater risk in India than visa-versa – but nobody bothers, because it’s all media hype in India.

Indians are really sensitive about “racism” and yet they are blind to it amongst themselves.

Many Indians are racist too. Lets face it:

In Bollywood movies all foreigners (African, white or Chinese) are always shown as crooks, or with loose morals, or as facists, or drunks, or plain stupid. One muscular African actor lives full time in Bombay – the only parts he gets are those of criminals! I had a couple of roles in Indian movies and TV – but I stopped doing it when I began to think about what I was being asked to portray as a foreigner.

What about the caste system?

There is systematic mistreatment of tourists (other races pay more to see all historic attractions, whereas anybody that looks Indian pays next to nothing). Few tourists come back from India without stories about being mistreated – ask any female traveler there about the groping that goes on!

99% of Indian families living outside India would go nuts if a memeber of their family were to marry outside their racial group.

Oriental-looking students (of non Indian appearnace) from the fringes of India, states like Manipur, Nagaland, who go to the big cities to study, often report being severely bullied.

Really, I think many Indians should stop being so “precious” and paranoid, not to mention hypocritical.

I like India by the way and have Indian friends — but can’t we just be honest with each other???

I have come up so far with an expected 6.6 murders of indian students per year to match the australian average. I am not sure there have even been 6.6 murders – calculations below

Expected Homicide Rate of Indian Students
An expected homicide rate for the Indian student population would be a maximum of 6.6 Males 20-30 if no persecution of Indian students was occurring.

General population Australia 1.2 murders per 100000(2008) – estimated 2009 1.3 per 100,000.www.abs.gov.au
This is approximately half the murder rate per 100,000 of India http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur_percap-crime-murders-per-capita
Males 15-30 make up 25% of murder victims in Australia and 8% of the population (2008) – estimated murder rate 4.4 per 100,000 http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Products/3235.0~2008~Main+Features~Main+Features?OpenDocument#PARALINK6

Expected murder rate of Male Indian students aged 20-30 would be = 4.4 * .75 = 3.3 killed per year (assuming males 20-30 make up 75% of the student population or 75,000)

the above figures allow for no influencing factors. Cities / Poor neighborhoods / Working and traveling late at night would be influencing factors. Assume this doubles the risk of murder then at a maximum you would still only expect 6.6 Male 20-30 year old Indian students to be murdered per year.

There xx Indian students 20-30 murdered in Australia in 2009?

I am an Indian and living here for 6 yrs now. i have come across many beautiful and warm , friendly australians , turkish, greeks, italians and asians.Its a multi cultural country and few groups of teenagers and druggies don’t represent the whole country in itself and thats what i believe. But some people speak in favour of these drugies and worthless people who rob and steal who don’t work hard, homeless and shame to this country that represents racism.Racism is in every country but beating and killing people shows animal instinct, lower standard with lower mentally.And people who justify their ACT are more dangerous people in the society.I have deep respect for people who are welcoming and kind hearted but i won’t Hate those disgraceful people who justify these criminal attacks . i would say they really need help and need to get a life. i don’t have time to hate anybody as i have a life to enjoy.
cheers and enjoy.

These attacks happen all of the time and ONLY when it happens to an Indian is it racial. If the Ambo’s had not bothered to turn up at the station and treat him because he was Indian then that would be racialist. Being attacked for your phone, cigarettes and money IS NOT.

When media write reports like this it just creates the impression of racialism that wasn’t there at the time. How do we know the victim wasn’t attacked by Indians? (maybe we could have if the video was working)

I’m fed up of people reading racialism into situations where it clearly isn’t the case. I’m an immigrant and I get called a ‘Pommie B******’ ALL of the time and do I bleat about it, no I laugh along and get along with life.

Get real or get lost.
