ALL ARE EQUAL BEFORE LAWBy: B S GANESH BANGALORE | Saturday , 14 Nov '09 18:50:29 PM Reply | Forward It is said: %u201CAll are equal before law%u201D but in practice this is applicable only to common people and not moneyed and powerful people. When a common official is suspected of malpractices, he would be shunted to some other place and even suspended. But when a judge is suspected and proof is given by Tamil Nadu government, it is not correct for the judiciary or even for him to continue. If Justice Dinakaran and KODA are honest, instead of emphasising that the allegation is false,politically motivated etc they should say %u201Cwe are honest and We don%u2019t want to create problems and let the judiciry investigate and prove the allegations%u201D. Instead, they want to sit in judgments. At least the CJI should have advised DINAKARAN to go on leave. This shows that law is not equal to all. B S Ganesh Bangalore

kevin ruddBy: gibo | Friday , 13 Nov '09 7:31:20 AM Reply | Forward Kevin Rudd cant genuinely keep those promises. State police in Australia are too few and too busy. Law and order is crumbling through lack of funding. The Lebanese gangs are too powerful and police are afraid of them. The Lebanese gangs are the ones targeting the Indian students. This overall situation may change if Australia gets control of lawlessness, but that will take billions of dollars. Gibo ex-New South Wales policeman.

Self Proclaimed AustraliansBy: Kian Noctor | Friday , 13 Nov '09 3:40:51 AM Reply | Forward Its disgusting that the ethnic English aall themselves as Australians. They are like the rest of the society pure ethnic English who migrated from their motherland. Well they destroyed the souls of the decent natives. The Federal parliment is dominated by the ethnic English and one of them is touring Delhi at the current time. They are the most dysfunctioal families I have ever seen in my life. The court and police system is in crisis and beyond repair

Rudds India visitBy: Roger | Friday , 13 Nov '09 2:28:07 AM Reply | Forward PM Rudd has reaffirmed that the ban on uranium sales to India will continue. Uranium will continue to be sold to China and other countries but NOT India which has NO history of waging wars or annexations. Racist Attacks on Indian students continue relentlessly. The question that begs attention at this juncture is, Why should India even bother to promote business relations with a nation such as Australia? Soon if not already, they will be redundant, irrelavant and insignificant in the global platform.

No one asked the students to go thereBy: Chander | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 23:18:07 PM Reply | Forward No one asked the students to spend lakhs and go there for a mediocre education which you can get in India as well. They are going disguised as students to immigrate to Australia. Our own country is far more racist that the Aussies anyone want to debate that.

Racism is omnipresentBy: Megh | Friday , 13 Nov '09 3:56:56 AM Reply | Forward Racism exists in all societies; In the US, UK, Australia and even Japan, Korea and China. Its not unique to India. Just as Racism, casteism prevails too in the East especially in Japan and Korea. Class divisions are deep rooted issues in the western society.

NPT is a farceBy: Australian | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 20:14:27 PM Reply | Forward The world has recognized that NPT is flawed but not Australia. They are willing to sell Uranium to China which was a signatory to the NPT but provided Nukes to Pakistan but not to India which has never proliferated.

Economy of Australia and MigrantsBy: Dinesh Borole | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 19:38:33 PM Reply | Forward New product research and development will suffer, thus economy will suffer, That will pull down world economy indirectly to some extend.

Full force?By: Roger | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 18:42:50 PM Reply | Forward In the last attack which occured in the week gone by, it seems the police told the victim " they were busy" and couldnot come down to take down the complaint; they then insisted with the victim that the attack was not racially motivated but instead it was the robbery. Thats the attitude of Rudds civil defense police force who dont even wish to entertain complains from indian students and here in Delhi PM Rudd says he will use " full force" after over 40 attacks and 1 conviction that i have heard off. Indeed Mr. PM. Australia will have to be avoided to teach this country of hypocrites a lesson.

Busy policeBy: Jim of OZ | Friday , 13 Nov '09 0:45:50 AM Reply | Forward Which attack was this, the guy that decided to sleep at a bus stop in a bad neigbourhood at 2am at night? Maybe the police were actually busy, police have limited men and resources, As the crime was actually over and the victim was no longer in danger it was no longer an ememergency situation.

Students visiting templeBy: Roger | Friday , 13 Nov '09 3:52:56 AM Reply | Forward btw, the attack i have refered to was on the two indian students going to a temple and not the one sleeping in the bus stop.

They are hypocritesBy: Sunil | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 21:29:27 PM Reply | Forward They are exactly that and Indians need to ensure that Australia is confronted. We need to stop their players from playing in IPL and send a strong message to them we will not tolerate this any more. Here they suppress the news about the attacks. Swearing at Indians in some parts is common too.

Indian students must apologise to Rudd nowBy: Maulana jawaher Lull Nehloo | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 17:43:43 PM Reply | Forward All Indian students must now touch Rudds white Christian feet and ask for his forgiveness.
