Race, region, language lends homogeneity to a group and promotes amity, unity and friendship. But it has its own cons. Indian students studying abroad are facing such cons. With the recent rise in attacks on Indian students studying in Australia it won’t be inappropriate to say that Indian students are seeking their higher education at the stake of their life. As mentioned in some reports, some of the attacks have proved detrimental and it has created an atmosphere of fear, anger and disharmony in Indian hearts inside and abroad the nation.
Indian studetnts studying in Oz to embettish themseles with masters degree are now finding it difficult even to survive there. Cases like beating Indian students without any reason, asking for ransom, looting, harrassing them mentally and physcally has become common now. Some of the Aussie morons call it “curry bashing”. With these events of racial discrimination some indian students have dropped their study in mid-way and returned back to India. Apart from students taxi drivers of indian origin are also looked down upon and attcked.
I was shocked by the police rampage over the peaceful protest against the attacks. Trusty words for australian police “Accussed will be punished” don’t seem to be valid yet.
The interesting part in this context is that I read atleast two to three ads in education today magazine which invited indian student to study in Oz. I have seen many such ads every now and then. Australian United Pathway Program (AUPP) even gives complete visa assistance and promises Indian students for guidence through recognized agencies. But what they don’t assure is security, which seems to be the prime factor. There are more than 95,000 students studying in Oz. Australian govt earns 14000 million annually from indian students. If Indians revert from Oz it will be major setback to Oz economy. I don’t know why aussie govt is still dumb. This is not the first the first time that indians have faced such thing in Oz.
There is really a need to develop cosmopoliatan outlook or replace racial discrimination against indians thereby catholicity of outlook and breadth of vision which will embrace the whole of humanity.
There is the need that Oz students should grow academically as violence can not hide their incompetence as compared to asian students. The western and Aussie students are more into the sex, violence and drugs and the result is degradation of moral values. The US movies such as American pie 1-5 and then beata house and to add more the movie called college etc etc reflect the college culture there in western countries. Australia is no different, rather they are more into it.
