The attacks are (obviously, as any violent act) a big shame. But linking them to the ancestry of Australian people as the journalist writing that article does is equally a shame. And an attempt of an insult to one of the most liberal and tolerant countries in the world.
What's worse, a minority of brainless Australian... or... some million of...

Kali would be very pleased

What are they tolerant off? The indigenous people they murdered and oppressed?
Just wondering. it's always easy to be tolerant after the fact. -
Accomplished facts cannot be changed. But there are words that heal, and words that hurt. Better if using the former.

There are very few with no reason to be ashamed of their facts. If any. What matters is what we do today, and tomorrow. -
@gus and cooper
I agree with you two 100%.

What Gus said. No need to turn the crime of a possibly drugged up thug into an international "hate crime" - which should be duly punished, obviously. Seems to me, the press is whipping up animosity, where they should be downplaying. That article is indeed shameful. As is the title of this thread. -
I dont know about ancestry or past and i dont want to know about that too. But what i saw in media really shattered my belief regarding a country that i never abhored. it is really really shameful in the part of the people in general and the administration in particular that such kinds of heinous acts went on unrestrained.
Now we are talking of gobalisation and all such delicious things but the group of jingoists and xenophobic people just create blocking points in the roads to globalization. Australia if the media is true then i must say you need to do some vigorous policing and maintain law and order.
Fie on those people who took law unto their hands and bullied Indian students. Indian students what are you doing there as if there is no educational institutions in India? Remember, India is known for its human resources taught in its own backyard. what is the use of such degrees when there is no guarantee of life? it is better to be unlettered then earn such degree in such conditions.
Australia, do you hear? -
This is an interesting topic.
I don't think it is any way representative of the Australian people.
Yes some Australians are racist, and find me a place where people do not feel negative about other particular ethnic groups.
I've lived here for 47 years and as a rule from my experience Indians are generally not the most disliked group in Australia, howevever over the years there have been various groups that mainstream australians have not overly loved, but eventually these groups have been embraced by mainstream australia eventually things have changed.
Australia is very cosmopolitan in the cities. In some parts of Australia, you will predomibnantly see Chinese, other parts vietnamese and other parts predominantly greek and italians. At various points in Auistralian history, these groups have definitely benn on the edge of the community, but as australia has grown emotionally, I think things have changed a lot.
As for the Indians being a target, as a general rule NO NO NO.
The only thing Australians would have againsy Indians would be those annoying phone sales people who aere named John , Peter etc.
This is media garbage, and I don't for one minute think that Indians in general are a target. I know many Indian people and love them dearly, and if there's a dinner on, I'll be the first there.
There was a demonstration yesterday. All it takes is one or two people with limited thought in any country to create a problem. Most normal human beings in australia are outraged at any form of violence towards any one, whether it be racial or not.
And the break up of cultural groups differs regionally. Where I live it's predominantly white anglo australian. I had a racist remark by an older man in my class a few weeks ago, I kicked him out of my classroom. He just didn't know any better.-
I totally agree. I was born here in Australia and though I am only 26 I have seen many cultural and religious groups that have been mistreated. When a country has many cultural groups living in it as Australia does, it is rare that each group is fully embraced especially immediately.
For a young country, though there are times we should be ashamed of our actions, we have developed and grown rather rapidly. No one I know of approves of violence against Indian people or any other racial/cultural/religious group. Don't assume we are all so alike.

And also. The name of this post "Like father like son is offensive"
Australia is a multi cuiltural society.
I know of horrendous things that have happened to people in India, but do I hold all Indian people responsible, no way.
Australia has an ugly history with the original inhabitants of thisbeautiful land, hopefully all inbuilt attitudes of disrespect can be over a period of time changed, and the beauty of all cultures respected.
We are all visitors here -

Couldn't have said it better myself (having some knowledge of Australia too). The (globalist) media is always trying to whip stuff up.-
would you like to put your phone number here? ;-)

Actually I do think Indians were the target - and I think the people who were responsible are like the ARYIANS - if you know what I mean.
But that group is NOT representative of the entire nation.
And that is, unfortunately a sad thing that has happened.
That's like saying all middle east - dark skinned people are Talibans.
It just isn't right.-
unfortunately, there are nutters everywhere.
I studied Classical Indian music from the direct line of Tansen -
Unfortunately they have come to represent Australia. Australian administration responded to the sordid incidents just now. I was glue to the media in which the Australian Pm was addressing the parliament and saying all these as rubbish. I also came to know that nearly 90000 Indian students have been studying in Australia that baffled me.
The Indian government and universities should think on this aspect as for their inability so many dollars have been flying to other countries. when Indians are known for their brain as they are always associated to the brain drain theory why after all such huge numbers of Indian students have been heading for Australia.
of course, generalization happens and not only Australia but also all countries have come under generalization. Australia is known for its love for peace and low profile international existence (as it takes part in international affairs without hankering for name or their participations go unreported)In that peace loving countries this kind of xenophobic incidents just does not fit. In India everything fits. Lol.
Think of the economic aspect of such nonsense incidents. The culprits should be brought to book who have brought shame to Australia and its culture.
thanks

The more I watch both Indian and Australian media on the subject, the more I think this was the "juicy news of the week" to distract us from other stuff
It is quite possible more Indian citizens died of natural causes (or some due to gruesome causes) in Australia during those three months than in any type of attack. But that does not make the international news, that does not stirr up diplomatic exchange, and that does not let third parties know India is investing heavily in high quality human resources for future.
But investing in 18 arrests for public missbehaviour as in the last Indian student demonstration does not yield a good image of those future human resources either. They probably would invest their time better among books
-
The public misbehavior was not by Indian, The demonstration was hijacked by drunk locals who in disguise join the demonstration, This was confirmed both by the Indian student leader and the Australian police
