A Victoria Police spokeswoman was quoted by the newspaper as saying that extra police, increased surveillance and mobile patrols had been deployed around train stations.

The Australian Government had last week announced setting up of a Task Force headed by the National Security Adviser to deal with such violence.

Hundreds of Indian students on Sunday rallied in Sydney to protest against the attacks.

Apart from Indians, there were students from other countries at the rally, who voiced their concerns about the racial violence and demanded police to be alert to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Just ahead of the rally, another youth from the community complained about his newly-bought car being torched outside his home in Melbourne.

Attacks on indian continuedBy: RG | 10-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward continued... But this is no reason to block roads and protest and disrupt normal lif. This has brought more attention to the indian community even in suburbs where no one noticed us. It has made us noticible targets. And then we have the Indian media as usual showing the coverage a million times in a day on the television and driving every one mad. The attacks are sad but there could be better ways.

Attacks in AusytraliaBy: RG | 10-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward I am an Indian residing in Melbourne. Personal view about indian students is not very good (not all students). There are a lot of Gujrati and Punjabi students lately in Melbourne. ONe should notice their behaviour when they are in a group in public transport. Talking loudly, abusing, staring at women, passing crude comments. Not done all these kind of behaviours. YOu are in a foreign country and you should respect how they function and not do what you do back at home. This kind of behaviour attracts attention. You should look at Indians visiting Gurudwara on Sundays at Blackburn suburb. Good that they visit but look at them crossing the roads. In 100s but they wont use the pedestrain crossings. They will cross the roads just any where they feel like and stop the traffic. This will attract attention. There are many other issues. I agree the attacks are not right but this is not only happening to Indians but to other community also.
