Deplorable

The brutal racial attack on a group of Indian students by some Australian teenagers is deplorable. Indians abroad face blatant discrimination despite their huge contribution to the service and intellectual sectors. The weekend attack in Melbourne is not an isolated instance. It is indicative of the deep-rooted anti-Indian sentiment. It is high time the Centre set up a separate Ministry to look after the interests of Indians abroad.

The attack on the Indian students, one of whom is stated to be in a critical condition, is unfortunate. There are many Indians pursuing higher studies in countries such as Australia and Singapore.

Such incidents send a shiver down the spines of students living abroad. The Australian government should take concrete steps to curb racism.
