Alright, it’s time to get real. Almost all of the comments onfacebook forums and blogs are mainly ignorant of the facts and arewritten by people who basically have no idea, including the media. Ihave been living in Melbourne for 14 years and haven’t faced oneincident of racism (mind you, have been in business for most of thistime). Australians are extremely tolerant and also has the sort ofmulticulturalism that not a lot of countries can even imagine. I am atrue Indian at heart and have sympathy for the ones who have got beatenbut these are not racist attacks and merely a chain reaction of eventsgone bad. Guys, let’s get real and show the same sentiment whenstudents are ragged and bashed in your own backyard (e.g. IndianColleges). Why don’t we rally or protest on Facebook when students arekilled in colleges? It’s sad but the Indian media flaring the issue isonly going to harm the issue and increase anger. If you are alleducated, then think about it again, Anger makes people do things theydon’t even want.

Let me give you some facts. Australians are very true and honest atheart. They trust these Indian students only to be back stabbed most ofthe time, whether it’s got to do with fake ID’s, not paying rent/phonebills, shoplifting and credit card defaults. Most of the Indianstudents are famous for breaking queues, shouting loudly in trains andmost of the Punjabi students not completing a sentence without using‘Ma’chod, bhen’chod’. I don’t see any class and our great ‘polite’Indian culture in that. None of these students want to grow out of whatthey have been doing in India .. Most of these Indian students are noteven here for education (We can tell this by Baljinder (the punjabi boyhurt), who could not even speak in English for more than 2 minutes onNDTV, and the interviewer had to turn to Hindi). They work full time(driving cabs, working in cafes/restaurants or factories) on studentvisas. Let’s be true to ourselves before raising fingers at others. Whydon’t we stop racism in our own country? The North Indians does not letone opportunity go before they can take on a south Indian or a simplenorth eastern and vice-versa. Let’s clean our own backyard and thenworry about rest of the world. I would like to share another piece ofinformation which might help not tagging Australia racist. Australiaallows every culture and country to enjoy their religion and festivals.No racial attacks, has ever been witnessed at our Holi/Diwali festivalswhich attracts over 10,000 people at one venue at one time. All thesefestivals and cultural organisations are supported and funded by theAustralian Govt. I don’t think a racist country would ever indulge insomething like that. So, yeah, this is the real picture, guys!

Let’s STOP this nonsense and this sheer stupidity who even Amitabh‘get more blog hits’ Bachchan took advantage of (Tell me, one timethese stars don’t want to take advantage of situations .. I have lostall respect for this old man .. Use the country for personal gains, yetagain). Let’s not tag the whole country RACIST coz of a couple ofsenseless attacks by young buffoons. In short, Indian media is themajor reason why more Indians will get attacked now. As they say,‘little knowledge is dangerous’. Let’s not make opinions before youknow all the facts. Peace out!
