Topic owner: Samuel Longo: I am happy with the latest announcement made by Shiv Sena Chief that they will not allow " Kangaroos Cricketers playing in Mumbai". With the recent reports of more Indian Students being attacked there.
I think this is the best way we could tell Oz that this attitude can not be tolerated further... Its good to see atleast on sensible politician who could take a harsh step for sake of his countrymen.
I think we all should not take a firm step now.

I read with perplexed amusement the comments made by mostly Indian people about the supposed “racist” actions of the Australian community - a plethora of hysterical tirades by people who have never been to Australia and obviously know nothing about Australia.
To add to this idiotic ranting when any person of Indian decent tries to point out to Indian Times readers that Australia is not a racist country, that they have not and do not experience racist here, they are dismissed as delusional or betrayers of the homeland etc etc. The problem here has very little to do with Australia and all to do with some insecurity or sensitivity in the Indian community. The Australia being propagated by the Indian media is a fantasy – it doesn’t exist, it’s all in the imagination and is feeding on some cultural fear. Listen to your countrymen and women who live here – they are grounded in the reality of Australia. I am of European origin but an adherent of Adwaita Vedanta and I understand that to know the truth you must see what is there in reality and to not be deceived by ones fears and imagination. Ask yourself, who is more likely to know the truth a journalist in Mumbai who has never been to Australia or an Indian resident in Melbourne. Shanti

I think we should immediately stop all diplomatic relationship with Aussies immediately. Just imagine how US or China would have reacted to the similar scenario. Every body cosdering Indians as a soft target.
Mitesh V u r right

Bal Thakrey and Raj Thakrey and similar thinking people have hated Indians in Maharashtra. Now they preach aussies not to hate those whome Bal Thakrey hates. Bal Thakrey is not an Indian representative. Bal Thakey has not said single word to improve, Indian education, law enforcing, cleanliness, implementation of rules. On 26/11 he did not come out support Indians who needed help.
Aussies should take him like any other hooligan of India/Australia

Aussie Nick
Well. Congratulations. Your Aussie Bashing has meant this little duck and the other four in my family have decided to CANCEL our planned trip to your lovely country to "see the sights". Why would we want to go to a country on holiday and risk being abused. Our (approximatley) $US15,000 will now be spent in Egypt to see the pyramids etc. What you don't realise is that this unfounded, media inspired Aussie Bashathon is being reported as main stream news here and does nothing for inter country relations - particularly when the 99.999999% of Aussies LOVE the indian people, culture and all that you have. Your call India, keep up the diatribe and kiss goodbye to the tourists. Seems a pretty dumb thing to be doing when you are trying to organise and run a Commonwelath Games....
San K Mr Nick
well, my response was your post that you cancelled your trip because indian media raising the concerns and I am sorry it hearted you and request you to keep logging in. As you said that Aussie would buy a beer for me, my friend you are unaware of indian hospitality. That is known best in the world. My brother in law is getting married next month and have lsit of the guests of approximately 2000 people. We arrange their stay, food and whatever they request. This is hospitality. If you haven't seen this type of hospitality, then you are missing something in your life. THAT can happen when you visit India. If you are interested, you are also welcome for this marriage along with the family. We will provide you the accomodation, food, you even do not need to spend anything on that during that marriage. Have you seen this type of hospitality anywhere?

watch out, your profile says you are interested in women, and I understand here who are supporting Australia that attacks are the result of Indians hunging around Australian blonde, you should be careful about that.

Mayur Mayur Well Aussie Nick watever, i feeling disappointed tat we lost $US15,000 , well good 99.99 % aussie , and only remaining Aborginal people who have been slowly wipe out by the Aussie people , now the turn of Indians
when you people can almost wipe out the indigeneous Aborginal people , than we are just vistors

Aussie Nick San K. Mate - No worries. Thank you for your welcoming words. No doubt the Indian Tourism authorities will endorse everything you have said. The "Visit india" adds I see on the telly down here are clearly a waste of money. Perhaps you could suggest the Government reinvests the money saved into a "responsible journalism" course that allows your young journos to differntiate between populist beat ups and the truth. My decision will of course, have a flow-on effect to our many friends and associates who will now get to hear of Aussie Nick's middle eastern adventures and may also decide to visit Egypt. I am so glad tourism is a relativley minor export commodity for India. San K, your attitude ensures it will stay a minor revenue source. Our Aussie education authorities are trying desperately to reverse the damage and yes of course to the education market, but also to basic relations. If the impression that's being painted were the truth, I wouldn't have bothered logging on. My friend, it just isn't. I am sorry your Aussie experience hasn't been great but in our tradition - i would buy you a beer to show you that 99.99999% of Aussies think quite differently ro what's being portrayed. Have a good one San K.
Kumar Sehgal HI Nick...I am in Indian, in Australia,... last 7 years...and I support every word you have said...Indian media doesn't know a thing about responsible reporting...
San K India does not need you and your money and do not visit it. But what are you saying, think twice. Tourism is not indias main source of income but education is third source of income to Australia therefore if foreign student do not come to Australia, Australia loose a big revenue source and not better for Australia and us. Us means you and I, I also live in Australia.

i hv been living in australia for more than 5 years and i hvnt experienced nything like racism till now...all australians are not racist and by boycotting sports we are not solving nything...about d curry bashing thing.....our media juss wants to sell newspapers so they make it headline in india...but they dont publish that its happening with other nationalities too...mayb few attacks had elements of racism but most of them were opportunistic...we are talking as if we are saints and our country is safest....i hv been reading indian newspapers online and almost everyday students are killed or they die cuz of suicide,,evn skool kids...shame on us...instead of solving this issue we are juss adding ghee into the fire....criticizing someone is the easiest thing one can do..first luk inside urself and then say somthing bad about others...
Samuel Longo Thanx Vijay for responding... Like you said the all Australians are not racist.. my dear all Indians who are in Australia are not as safe as are u.
And i Think you want to say that all victims that we have seen must be faking and were trying to drag the poor Australians brothers of urs into controversy for No reason!!!

Bal thackeray has lost his head...he is going through mental illness along with his nephew Raj...they both are suffering through alzyhmer and because it is contageious ppl supporting them are suffering too may be its skidsofenia
Anil Krishna Rane Hello Mr. Pritesh,
i think you are mental sick. Wile reading your comment on this subject i think you people ( so called withe caller) have more brain then the others. If its so then use your brain for such good things please do not poke your dirty nose in this subject. Balasaheb has their own straight forward view and we all marathi manus respect their views. What wrong they said? Why not SO CALLED YOUR INDIAN GOVT is taking strong action. This is issue will not solve on diplomatic way. As an strong Indian we have to give answer in their language only. Some one has to stand behind our indians those who are away from our country, the message should reach to them that if they behave like this then they are also not safe any were in world. i fully support to Balsaheb statement......Who are you and what is your contribution to our country. If you die no one will cry....but if we loss any our loving once indians out side country just because of racism the whole india will cry. you will not understand the feelings because you are real mental sick.....

San K What Bal Thackeray has said is almost alright. Australian team should not be welcome to India becasue of this issue. If one person in Australia murders Indian, one person in India is not welcoming Australian team there and it is backed by several people. Cricket is not something that is mandatory for our life. Baycott is another small step to show the concerns of Indians. I am also a north indian and I support Raj Thackrey, why populate a city which is already populated and increase problems. North Indian should stop migrating to Mumbai becasue Mumbai is first of people belong to it than other people.

I have been living in Melbourne for almost 2 years now and I don't see this country as a "racist" country as it is being reported by the media.
I completely agree with Ankit that the irresponsible reporting by the Indian media is making life more difficult for Indians in Australia. Every little incident involving Indians in Australia is within the next second termed a racist incident without even looking into the facts of the matter.
One thing I fail to understand is why is there such a hue and cry for the murder of one Indian in Australia but people are hardly bothered by the 41,000+ murders ( murders, culpable homicides, dowry deaths etc.) in India? The Indian media, government and the Indian population isn't appalled by more than a 100 deaths in India every single day but one murder in Australia seems shocking to the population and the establishment. Are the lives of Indians living in India not as valuable as the lives of Indians living abroad???
I completely disagree with the boycott of Oz team in Maharashtra as being called for by the Shiv Sena. The only outcome I see of such announcements is a negative reciprocation against Indians in Australia and further isolation of Indians.

Anil Krishna Rane Mr. Varun Bhuta i pray to god that you stay there in Australia safly. But if unfortunate incidence happen to you in future will your views remain same.....will your family stay here in happy in india...you people are not suffer from all these thats why you can write all these non sense. You have given an example of Murders in India together with figures. OK fine!!! but it dose not mean that we Indians are going out side our country for dying there. All those are attacked on Indians by Austalians are was from good family background. they were student......is there lives are not important for you.... i really hate your views.....especialy on your statement of crying on murder.....i wish that your family will not suffer from all these which others are already had gon through....you will not understand the pain of the family those who loss their loving once.....if you worried about the outcome of negative reciprocation then please come back to india? we will find job for you? but just dont talk any senseless and selfish...
Ankit Jain
I live in Melbourne – have been living for the past 13 years. The Indian media is making the lives of Indian’s living in Australia very difficult. They are blowing one isolated incident totally out of proportion. India takes division to a totally other level – honestly -- Does division not happen in India – we have cast’s , regionalism (raj Thackeray, Modi) – What about reservations – why are they their – Australia is a very peaceful , tolerant country – Indian media needs a life – really!!! – Leave the people in Australia alone – seriously !!!
San K If a million indian people living in Australia doen not mean that there have to be million attacks to prove the racism or have media attention. If you are safer for the last 13 years does also not mean that you will be safer forever. The issues in India and Australia are not comparable. In India, the fight for the bead and butter because of the poverty which anybody can understand. In Australia, this is being done definitely as a racism. I agree that Australia is very peaceful and tolerant country and thats why they are tolerating the attacks on Indians. I recall that there were more than 1000 attacks on Indian in melbourne last year (from the news and not sure) but certainly there were several attacks. What police and judiciary have done. If you catch the culprit and punish them harshly. Those incident would almost stop here in Australia but not in India.

San K Mr Sujan Mehta you are outdated and you need to be updated. The issue you raising about the indian students is vice versa but not the extend which you are raising. There are several incidents where Indian girls are harassed, abused and more. They do not come into the picture becasue this most sansitive matters for Indians, if their daughters are reported harassed, no Indian girl would be allowed by their parents. It is the same story, Australian people not admitting that they are racial attacks, in fact no country would but it is true. If you see that Nitin's murder was opportunist, you are wrong. Because what Nitin would have in his pocket worth of $400-500. This sort of money in insignificant in Australia to murder a person. You might argue that a person done this under the drug influence. That also raises the concern that a druggist can do anything and why on Indian? Have you heard any other community is attacked to this extent? no. I also say that Aussies are quite good people but a negligible amount are not. Becasue of them, the lives of Indians are at risk in Australia therefore Indians should think several times to come to Australia perticularly students.
Sujan Mehta i disagree with samuel. first you need to find out your brothers friends habits nad doings that caused him the bash. Lot of indian students come here and see the fascinating side of this countries that they can easily get a date roaming on the streets with any aussie girl. have you heard a indian girl ever been harrassed or abused?
understand the whole diplomacy the people who raise such bashing news dont even appear every again after lighting the spark. All this conspiracy is politics of taking the indian student business away from aus and force students to look for US, UK and Canada bcoz those countries now need money aswell. AUS was the favourite destination because of weather and cheap dollar rate than those 3. And now they want to scare the hell out of people that AUSSIE is not safe. Well mate Australians are the most heartiest people you would ever meet. They are tough but they are very good.

Samuel Longo Ankit, I am sure you have not seen the terror students are going througgh there...My brother is studying there his friend was one of the victim... I am sure your words can pacify the media here but not the families of the victims. Thanx anyways Dear... Have a safe life
Satvinder Singh
The govt has to push Australia for a more constructive actions. On the other hand it seems that Australia will continue to be in denial mode considering India as a soft state. The boycott of cricket with Oz will represent the public anger and anguish. One must try this aspect to tame arrogant Australians.
Kripa Parekh
I think after Amitabh Bachchan refused to accept the award by Queen's Land University.. I think Boycotting Cricket would be another good lesson for them It high time we have kept quite in the hope Australian Govt would take strict actions against people involved but they have unheard our plea.
Mr Thackeray we support you for this.

San K Mr Sujan
Well you are asking to stop people coming here and earning money. 3 idiots was released and they made money but they did not send the invitation to anyone to come and watch the movie. people liked it watched. They spent lot of money on making film, they entertained you, they must be rewarded for that. It is the nature of everybody, they hung around and look for what they like even Australians too.

Mayur Mayur Well name Sujan Mehta do not sound australian to me , telling us UR own India , were he is from , Most of Indians have tendency to run away from our own homeland and settle in readymade country ,like sujan or his forefather did ,and how do u know abt the conspiracy do u wrk for Aussie intelligencies
Sujan Mehta Kripa don't get too excited and raise your concerns without going till the root of it.
In trying to resolve 1 issue you don't create other issues and retaliation is not always the right weapon to use.
what about ur filmstarts and play back singers who often come here to publish their celebrity status and make money out of aussies and indians living here. why don't you stop them too...???
3 idiots got released here in AUS and ticket prices were the highest above any other hindi film which gets released here. Aamir khan and co made a lot of dosh out of us. Go and stop him too...
First identify the habits of these indians who get the cop and what are they doing roaming on streets late night hmm trying to get a piece of cake of an aussie blonde?
What about ur own india where a women gets raped every hour or somebody gets killed and the difference in communities and religion in ur own country. People should raise eye brows only when their country is safe and no case every registered in any police station of yours then australia may be unsafe. i hope this would help you understand your thinking.

Why do Shiv sena always have to go to the extreme end of any issue... Lets solve this issue Politically rather than by such childish acts.
Anil Krishna Rane sidhe unglise ghee nahi nikalta to teda karna padta hai?????do you think this issue will get solve ploitically? if its so then why there was an more incidence after appealing of Indian govt. to Australia to take serious actions on activists.
Shivsenchay navane bote modne faar soppe aahe kaaran tumahala kuni lihinya saathi thambvu shakat nahi? Charu singh ji matlab nahi smaja to kisi dusre se puch lena?
i fully support Shivsena on their stand.

Ya .. Boycotting Cricket will be utmost immaturity.Much more serious stands by Indian Politicians are required here.
Debashish Acharya
This is not way to protest guys... By Boycotting Cricket matches will not solve this issue... It is much more serious than it seems... Don't you remember last time when Shiv Sena people Boycotted Pakistani Cricketers in Mumbai what did they do to the pitch!!! Will will be shamful thing to do. Boycotting is not the solution
Ajay Kalra
Agreed Samuel but do you think by boycotting Cricketers will ensure safety for Indians In Australia???
Mayur Mayur Boycotting can be a solution , even Mahatma Gandhi and his followers boycotted British Goods to protest ,
It will show we care , Australian govt lure Indian students to there country and they get this
