Two more attacks on Indians Down Under

Press Trust of India, Tuesday June 23, 2009, Melbourne

There have been two more attacks against Indians in Melbourne. While a student from Hyderabad was mugged, an Indian taxi driver was attacked by passengers.

Earlier, a 20-year-old youth from Hyderabad was badly punched on the face.

M A Khan, pursuing hospitality course from Victoria Institute of Technology, was walking near a railway station in eastern suburb of Melbourne on Sunday evening when two Caucasian men, wearing hooded jackets, walked-up to him and punched him without any provocation.

Khan was punched so badly that he suffered cuts below his eyes and forehead and was admitted to a local hospital were he received multiple stitches on his face.

"Two guys came from the side in front of me and gave a very bad punch on my face and ran away. This incident happened around 5.30 p.m, the peak hour of traffic on the road," Khan, who had moved to Melbourne last year, said.

"They did not ask for any money or anything, they did not try to snatch anything from me. After 10 minutes, police came down there and ambulance also," he added.

This was the 15th attack on Indian students in Australia in less than a month.

Media,Govt and particularly congress supports richer peoples only. When poor fisher men getting bullet injuries and some time loses their lives,boats and abduction by srilankan navy they won't bothered. People going to fetch a fiSh for livelihood not important for country, but those who goes to abroad(who had sufficient funds only possible) is mucH important for media . Govt is very slow in taking decisions and supreme court or any judicial or western countries need to drive them for any decision.

We are human beings, we can sometimes possess animal like qualities, such as a lion, cobra, shark. If Australians act like this I say to Indian's don't support them, it is the only right reaction one can take. Don't buy their products, don't even smile at them. I tell you if someone tried to attack me I would defend myself lethally if I had to. I have love for myself, I am Indian, I have no PRIDE, OR ARROGANCE, JUST PURE LOVE FOR MYSELF. Do the right thing and get away from them straight away. If you are trapped there by one reason or another, then stay safe, LOVE yourself.
