Attacks on Indians abroad must stop

Due to the weakness of our government,it appears that a conception has been created all over the world, especially in western world, that Indians are an object to beat. Apart from the continued attacks on Indians in Australia for the last three months, the Indians were earlier attacked in America and Canada. And an Indian family has also been attacked in Ireland. The continued attacks on Indians abroad were only due to the soft peddling of the issue by the Indian government. So, now enough is enough. The government of India must stand and lodge strong protest, with a warning that if the attacks on Indians were not stopped immediately , the repurcussions to them in India against the foreign citizens will be their responsibility, especially the countries where Indians are attacked.Indians in Australia are under attack for the last three months. Lodging only protest with Australian government by India does not work in any way and Australians appear to have uderstood the inherent soft attitude of India. They also think that India being a soft state, it can not bluntly oppose our racially motivated attacks on them. Indian students are studying in Australia in large numbers and they contribute greatly in the economic growth there and other Indians are earning their livelihood there. The responsibility of safety and security of all Indians lies with the Australian government. The attacks on three Indians after a brief lull has deeply hurt the sentiments of all Indians. But it is for the first time that it has been admitted by none other than the Victorian Premier that these are racial attacks and are unacceptable. The three Indians have been attacked in a sub-urban city of Melbourne. This is a serious matter that the racial attacks on Indians have taken place only in one Australian state of Victoria in the Melbourne city. What the Melbourne police and the Australian governmentare doing. Either the Austrralian government has miserably failed to the policing of Melbourne or are they deliberately looking the other way whenever the attack takes place on Indians. The racial prejudice is steeped in Australians if the dwell between Indian star spinner Harbhajan Singh and Australian alrounder Symonds during the cricket match between India and Australia is anything to go by. And it is no longer a secret that westerns have racial superiority. Primarily, the government of India is responsible for the safety and security of its citizens wherever they are living in the world. They can lodge strong protest with the Australian govt. to stop racial attacks on Indians immedsiately. And if they ignore the concern of India, it must withdraw its High Commissioner from Canberra for some time to give the message world across that how naked racialism is practised in Australia.
