Are they joking or just plain daft........

As Indian students in Australia cower and their parents in India, pray for their safety, the chief of police at Melbourne, says that Indian's are attacked, as they are perceived, as soft targets, for being passive......Is the officer joking or is he just plain daft?
Is he suggesting that Indian student's in Australia, disengage from their studies and indulge in activities that would get dumb, racial bullies off their backs?
While the Australian's would like us to be live otherwise, their balance sheet in terms of treatment of people who are culturally different from themselves is appalling and disgraceful.
Their treatment of the ship Tampa, its Captain Arne Rinnan, and Afghan refugees is an example.
Indian students travelling to Australia, for further studies, must very carefully examine their options, in going down under.
The Govt. of India, must issue a travel advisory, warning its citizens travelling to Australia, and must make it clear to the Govt. of Australia that continuing attacks on Indian's will attract suitable consequences.
As for Capt.Rinnan & his ship the Tampa, its a real interesting story & should appear on this blog over the next few days.
The latest is that, India on Friday summoned Australian High Commissioner John McCarthy to the External Affairs Ministry to lodge an official concern about the recent spate of racial attacks on Indian students studying in Australia and that such attacks must cease fortwith.
We shall see..............
