Racism in Australia - Indian Students Targeted

 

Racist - another word for a coward/insecure/incompetent/unintelligent people.

As Shravan (an Andhraite from Andhra Pradesh, India) and his friends were partying, two drunk white boys (Australians) gate crashed into their merriment and started abusing the Indians in a foul racist tongue. The only provocation (if you can call it that!) was Shravan and his friends politely asked the white entourage to leave the party as they were not invited!

That seemed to be too much to take for these ugly racist Australians. The famous 'Aussie-pride' could not take no for an answer! They stabbed Shravan with a screw-driver (some courage these punks showed, Screw-driver, for God's sake??) in his neck and started shouting in the most foulest language only the Australians can summon (ask Sourav Ganguly, Harbhajan etc).

Calling somebody a 'Bloody Indian' speaks so much for that person's character. The newest mantra for these white-trash is : 'curry-bashing'. Let's go 'curry-bashing' they say cunningly. Do we treat the foul Australian students in the same manner when they come to study in India? No! Agreed that the victims and their families had to go through a lot of trauma. But it is not as if we are shedding copious tears over the horrible incident. We too can fight back! But we do not gang-attack a single person in a lonely metro train! This is just shameful! Five bullies against a meek lonely Indian, that too in their own backyard? I do not call that courage, MATES!

And what is the cause of these dastardly acts, which have been increasing in frequency over the last few months? Well, here are a few :

Cowardice : There's no fame in cornering a single person especially when you are a gang of ugly drunk punks, out on a trip of LCDs or what-nots. Substance abuse is for those weaklings who seek supremacy in an imaginary fantasy. Wherein, they are the Supermans, Batmans, He-mans etc. That's all in the comic books mates. In real world, you are nothing than a bunch of coward, backward thinking bullies who are no less than the Skeletors, Jokers. Well, shame on you cowards. If you had the courage and had the capacity to THINK, you would not have carried out such a BRAVE attack. Did your parents give you a hero's welcome after this feat? Well, you must have be feeling tired, how about some lethal mix of scotch coupled with a bottle full of sleeping pills ? That sure must make you feel superhuman again! And what a trip that would be – a trip with a no return ticket! Ha! You sad bunch make me take up crime as a full time employment option!

Insecurity : Wow! The mighty Australians are insecure! Hear about that! What are you insecure about bubbas? You are worried about us Indians studying hard and taking all the plum jobs and relegate you roos to the no-brains-needed clerical jobs?? Well, you do not have to worry about that at all pals. Why, is there going to be a mass exodus of us 'bloody Indians' back to our places??? Why No!!!! No that's not the reason! The reason is simply incompetence! You people are not made to THINK! Leave alone study hard and earn degrees, and get nice jobs. Which is exactly my next point!

Incompetence : The apes, (our ancestors) it now seems never crossed Australia to evolve into sharp thinking humans! So if you are all brawn and no brain, then it follows that you cannot think! If you cannot think, then you are NOT! (Descartes version - "I think therefore i am"). You do not exist at all my pre-medieval friends, at least when it comes to thinking rationally. And as apes do, you maul anything in your way without the slightest provocation.

Unintelligent : Not only you, even your parents are not that smart. Right after they came to know what their bright (or rather dull) wards did, not a single Australian mommy came onto the TV to express sympathy towards the victim and his kin. No owning up responsibility down here in down under for all immoral actions, my friends! Nah! Tribal justice is all what you will ever get. A tribal will think like a tribal. When he sees another man from another territory he just takes aim and shoots that poisoned dart. Smack! Take that you invader! For that's all he has been taught about and that's all he knows. But for those punks who might have finished schooling as students, it was a terrible shame.

Now this is not the first time that Australians are being labeled racists. Not all of them might be guilty, but people will generally tell you that you can smell it in the air. The hatred they have for us. Russians too complained about this racism menace a long time back. But no one stood up and took notice.

Here are a few examples of what the US, Indian and Australian citizens themselves think:

Musing,US,says: Fact of the matter is that Aussies are the worst racists of the world. I have been all across the globe and have never seen people who are more petty and more racial than the Australians. Its also a fact that the vast majority are morons who are unable to compete with Indians/Chinese and therefore have an envy carryover which they resolve by resorting to gang violence. I remember the Singapore premiere aptly calling the Aussies the white trash of Asia... [30 May, 2009 0933hrs IST]

george harris, brisbane,says: Please understand the majority of the population are disgusted by the attacks and know that the police refuse to deal with the real issue of migrant refugee gangs because of political correctness.

Pranaoti Naik,Gold Coast,says: This is very terrifying news. I am a student here on the Gold coast and staying in the same country we are clueless about what is happening with our fellow mates. There wasn't much covered in the News on TV which is sad that Australia doesn't want to expose these matters. Apparently, we get to know about these issues through our Friends and Family from India. The most important issue here is that Universities need to follow certain rules and procedures to assure oneness among other nationalities. It is important that professors follow this in universities, as many Indian (Asian in particular) students are neglected in class. As a student here, We spend so much to come here to gain education and work experience and yet we end up being victims of miserable tragedies.

Our own Indian govt. should stop taking those baby-step initiatives and should go full-blast on demanding the reasons for the ineptness of the Aussie govt. in failing to check this menace. We must demand solid action. After all we are paying them to take care of us as well as our education. In that sense they stand to lose an enormous economical opportunity. Their Universities will stop functioning if the Indians were to be advised not to go to Australia. The economic bashing they will receive will be more resounding than the physical bashing they gave our Indian students. After all, we are paying them for the education, we are not asking it for free, are we?? We have the right to demand a safe environment to take up our studies.

In fact, we must stop going to the Aussie Universities if they fail to guarantee our safety from the racism menace. Only the govt. of India can make this stick as a rule for the foreign Universities. If the Universities fail to own up responsibility for any untoward incidents the Indian students face there, then they must be dragged to the court.
