    Indians protest
    File photo of protests by Indian students in Australia.

    Victorian police commissioner Simon Overland and Western Australia Ethnic Communities Council president Ramdas Sankaran, a Malaysian-born Indian, said Rambal''s comments were "nonsense". "I really find it astonishing that someone would say that," Sankaran said. "Given that Australian authorities themselves accept what has happened, why blame the victim. The realities are various minorities are being attacked," he added.

    INDIAN STUDENTS GO TO AUSTRALIA ONLY TO ABUSE THEIR VISASBy: suresh patil | 15-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Scumbag indian "students" who go to australia on the pretext of studies only to take advantage of the visa process and settle down there...When that is the case, if they have complaints, then bear it and stay or else return back to india.
    Truth Lies Somewhere in betweenBy: Two Hands to Clap | 14-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward I completely see the students' point; they are in tough spot right now. But rather than attacking Rambal for his comments--may be he has a point and may be there is some truth in what he says--why not do some introspection and see if there is anything that you as students can change from the behavior perspective not to attract these attacks. Some attacks probably are unprovoked but certain percentage may be. By altering their behavior, students may at least reduce these attacks in the short-run. And at the same time, you can keep the pressure up on Australian government to do everything that it can to ensure the safety of Indian students. Let us not fight among ourselves. Ask yourself, is it productive? I hope the situation will be resolved soon and normalcy returned for Indian students to go about their studies without worrying attacks.
    TanzaniaBy: Kanti | 14-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Australians are always racial every where and any where. You can ask any one who is your grand father or great grand father. but not an australian. so it is indians who are not to go there for studies.
    student in AustraliaBy: xyz abc | 14-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward SHAME ON THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT ONOW THE REALITIES AND STARTS COMMENTING. VIKAS rambal making these comments are right to an extent as students have moral responsibility to their parents for earning an education degree for what they have been sent and not involving themselves in activities which provoke such incidents.I HOPE THIS DISCUSSION WOOULD GIVE A BIT OF INSIGHT TO THE FELLOW INDIANSreason, why i am not putting my name is I am part of the student community where these incidences have occurred. I have a mission and I do not want to be involved in these silly things.
    my two centsBy: my2cents | 14-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward I feel that 'studentusa' 'madhukar' and 'opinion' have really valid points, while sridhar points to the other extreme. WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE NOT COMPLETELY INNOCENT, BUT THE ACTION/CRIME COMMITTED IS UNWARRANTED.
