Again Indians are attacked in Australia. Yesterday also two students were attacked in sydney and still the Australian government is not providing security. Anyone know our Indian students commit mistakes or this attack is based on Indian race? Please comment on this issue

Blaming the whole nation is not right.
I've seen many Australians participate in the protest along with the Indians against recent attacks.
We are not going to solve the problem by not going there for studies or work. All human beings have a right to be where ever they want to be, legally. If they go there through legal channels, nothing wrong.
We can not and should not avoid this problem, but face it and remove it from the face of the planet. Just before, I chat with an Australian. When I asked him what he thought of India, he replied Indians r in general nice people, but India is dirty with a very corrupt government & we should do something to clean our rivers & environment.
I dont think he intended to insult Indians by pointing out the dark sides of India. If a foreigner praises taj mahal beauty, we are hearing it happily. sameway if a tourist surprises about indian culture, we are smiling.
Sametime, why do we get angry, when we are criticized by pointing out the weak areas of our country?
Fault is from both sides......
*Indian students doing late nights jobs resulting easy prey for anti social elements.
*Australian still in mindset of superiority
*All Australians are not in same bracket
*India also under? because what is happening in Maharashtra and in other states also comes under racism
So please think hard and follow the facts not news channels......
Every coin has two sides....

I haven't heard about this latest attack but am curious to ask what security you think the Australian government can provide? a policeman with every Indian student? or a curfew for Indian students so that they are only allowed to go from home to school?
There doesn't seem to be that much any government can do prior to an event, only catch those responsbile after the fact

duh, you know what , there wont be a need for the government to do anything only if people view the world around them with a broader view. All people think is , indians come there and steal their jobs.... c'mon , anyone in the world that is more capable than me deserves the job, instead of bullying these guys away from their home, work out your priorities and work a bit harder. Then you wont have to bully around for your job....and gl with it.(you'll need it)

When in Rome do as the Romans do,so goes a famous proverb.If indians were to be treated on par with the other people they must behave as how others behave.I dont know what really is happening,because i have not heard of any attack on people from other south asian countries.i think there must be something odd because the Indians have been specifically targeted.May be money will be the greatest motivator in most cases but yes maybe with a tinge of racism.
