Look beyond your noseBy: Dr. A. K. Biswas | Sunday , 9 Aug '09 23:53:42 PM Reply | Forward Anil Kohli and his ilks need to read a recent piece in Indian media by Rakesh Sinha, who is an Indian-Australian in diplomatic service. His paper spoke plainly why Indian students are misfit in Oz as they lack social conditioning. Practically they are misfit everywhere outside India for their attitudional monstrocity shaped by their culture and scriptures. If charity begins at home, so does attitudional moulding. Columbia University Professor of Anthropology E Valentine Daniel says, "some Indian executives will not hire untouchables, no matter how good their qualifications." UK has been struggling hard how to put down the menace of caste bedevilling the social fabric there.Indians want to practice abraod what they do to others for generations at home.Oz is just an exemple of that. They ave invited their own misery.See snow on your roof before, dear sir, you point finger to someone else's roof.Show sensitivity to others feelings first.

MrBy: HNS | Thursday , 25 Jun '09 16:14:36 PM Reply | Forward I do not beleive the reduction of Indian or foreign students will enhance the chance of Australians having a higher education. The number of Australians getting higher education will depend on the number of them wanting or qualify for such education. Please also understand as the foreign students pay tution they deserve to be protectected and looked after. More, importantly as the education providers get paid fees by foreign students, that way the quality and consistency is also ensured of the Australian higher education system and also ensures that 'Australian Kids' also have a better chance and quality in education. It is a simple matter of economics

Maybe you should go home to India.By: Sick of Indian Abuse | Monday , 22 Jun '09 7:55:56 AM Reply | Forward Seeing as how Indians are incapable of surviving in the violent, dangerous and highly racist country called Australia, no doubt you would be better off going home. That way Australian kids can be free to enjoy access to their own education system, without having it bled dry to suit rude foreigners. It would also mean that our stupid and lazy police might go back to protecting the whole community, rather than just a bunch of whingers who come wanting a free ride to wealth. By the way, these comments do not apply to my good Indian mates who bother to fit in and contribute to this country, but then, they are a small minority in a vaste horde of now unwelcome pests. Why unwelcome? Australia has gone to great lengths to help

Fools bluffBy: joseph george | Saturday , 20 Jun '09 20:15:53 PM Reply | Forward I did 2 years of college in Australia before moving to the states myself. Unspoken suttle racism in every day life in campus or outside was a common practice. Ten years back most of the racial taunts were directed at Japanese or Chinese migrants. It was also the norm to expect racial taunts in public places. If these event never made the press then the Government or the police would have never acknowledged the problem. It is very obvious that from the OZ PM down it has been denial and blaming the students by calling them "soft targets". All these meetings are symbolic gestures to attract you hard earned money. I would not buy this bluff unless they introduce zero tolerance laws and change the sentecing laws for minors. If you can harm a person or kill a person then you deserve to serve time. The hooligans are free to roam the street and do more curry bashing.

Oz Immigration Minister meets Indian studentsBy: Prem Chowdry | Saturday , 20 Jun '09 8:08:50 AM Reply | Forward May wisdom and basic human goodness prevail in building new bridges towards stronger Indo-Australian relationship. Vigilence and restraint in all concerned, and the media in particular in creating and maintaining a cordiality will go a long way to prevent any recurrance of what happened recently, and create the right atmosphere for intellectual pursuits of the students and frindship in general.

Attacks on Indian studentsBy: GNS | Saturday , 20 Jun '09 6:49:33 AM Reply | Forward All well-settled Indian Australians ,about 2,00,000 now and growing by about 10,000 highly skilled per annum,did NOT and do NOT face racism in Australia as racism is understood.Chances of Indians better is much higher in Australia than in Singapore and I can speak with 25 years of living in both countries.Now about Indian students.There are 2 categories :those who have come here for real higher studies and those who come here for 1-2 year vocational courses ( cookery,hospitality,hair-dressing etc ) with poor English skills,high ambitions,working long late hours ( in excess of legally permitted 20 hours ),living in unsafe suburbs.The latter face the criminals when they return home late at night.These attacks take place almost regularly in these suburbs for more than 10 years.Till Indians

Racial prejudice exists in every societyBy: http://twitter.com/skannath | Friday , 19 Jun '09 22:46:42 PM Reply | Forward Racial prejudice exists in every society, hidden under religious or social colors. Favors shown to section of a community either in jobs, education, business and benefits is open racism and is now predominant in India. Today h.r department of companies in India are dominated by section of a community and favors are given only to their community,and it seems it is official.

Ask European Parliment to give equal right to GypsiesBy: Suresh | Friday , 19 Jun '09 21:20:32 PM Reply | Forward Mr.Bisawa, do you know anything about the status of Dalits in US, Europe and Australia? Any idea about the plight of Gypsies, the aborigines of Europe and their consistent effort to be heard by the European Parliament? Ever heard of pot calling the kettle black?
