Indian students in Australia are CUSTOMERS and deserve excellent service from the Australian authorities who spread red carpet for them. Do not confuse America with Australia. America defines itself by its values of freedom, Australia sees itself as a white utopia. Sure, American history is littered with evil, but the difference is that while Americans are ashamed of their evils, Australians are proud of it. Aussies just dont have the sense of fairplay and justice that Americans do. Freedom is a cultural value inculcated in the foundations of a nation: while America was founded on the idea of freedom and justice, Australia was founded on the idea of white utopia.

And most importantly, you should remember America is a superpower while Australia is lucky to be considered a minor power. Let us keep it real: the onus is on Australians to win our favour. And Australia is pretty rude and loud for a power so small: just look at their discriminatory ban on uranium exports to India. Obama recently ordered the Aussies to repair relations with India and the poodles scrambled to lift the uranium ban 24 hrs before Obama touched down to inspect his Australian subjects.

And lastly: there is no harm in a chant of Bharat Mata on the streets of Sydney. If only Aussies had been more respectful before, they would not have to pathetically lick their spit on the uranium issue. And some 7 days after the ban was lifted, Kevin Rudd wanted a military relationship with us that we promptly dismissed. If anyone needs to be ashamed of their racism, opportunism and spinelessness here, it is not India.

Those who have stayed in Oz major cities would know…that Lebanese gangs are quite common. It doesn’t have to do with one’s race, but with one’s pockets. So next time those OZ indian bozos who talk about this sh*t, don’t wear those thick golden barbwires around your necks.

Its realy easy to sit on your ASS and write a lecture or give your valuable comments on this lecture while scratching balls, for the indians living in sydney. Desi,you are such a DESI that you dint even try to do some close research and then write something. next time you need to do some more research before commenting about the incident of sydney or any where else.

Hi everyone… I had no idea about this site earlier, and commenting almost 5 1/2 months since the last post! I’ve gone through every Response to this Article(Because We Own The World). i found myself most agree with # 24 Nita. even agree with others too. But the discussion was started about Ozs attacking Indians. Most of you, talked about how Indians, behave Globally. they’ll behave like they are… Then they should face the same situation like OZ around the world, but not!!
There is no excuse for the violence.

Hey there, good one. I live in Sydney and have experienced aussies all over the place to friendly and helpful. First, it’s media that overhypes, second- security is something that we need to be aware of everywhere, not just in Sydney , Mebourne or Mumbai.

Hey, visited your blog after quite a long time.

So many updates!

Regarding this post. Well, you have a point there. But you know something, there is a difference between collaboration (read assimilation) and compromise. If it’s collaboration, it’s good. Actually, there has to be a balance somewhere. Yes, we are not perfect! We have the Thackereys, the higher fees at the Taj, atrocities like those on Graham Steins, communal hatred… we have everything! Yes, assimilation is the order of the day. We need to understand the viewpoints of others and tolerate different cultures. But, in spite of all of these, attacks on Indians cannot and should not be justified. Every civilized nation has law and order. If things like what happened emulate those in India, tell me, how is Australia different from India? We are a ‘developing’ nation, but they had ‘developed’ long ago! (Well, really?)
I do not support the mishaps in India – no true Indian should. Foreigners are our guests and they deserve to be respected and helped in all ways possible. But the same holds true for them.
I agree with your views that many Indians abroad do not demonstrate the basics of assimilation and thus invite unwelcome attention from not-so-civilized people. I would be happy if that is the case, since, then, the onus is on us to improve our behavior. But the question here is: Is that really the case?

I haven’t read all the comments here but this is what I feel. One, that yes Indians need to try and assimilate. Two, however badly the Indians behave, it is no excuse for any locals to get violent. Three, the police have to act, whoever complains. Four, I have no idea if it is racism. If it is, then its shameful. But I just want to repeat, there is no excuse for the violence. If the aussies are attacking the indians because they talk loudly or stand around in groups or talk in their native language (as was reported in the indian press) then its racism.

@Roshni – Thanks! The first account is already up – apologies for a late reply to your comment.

@RDB -

“Basically it depends on an individual n how receptive u r to change and adapt”

Very true! And rest assured, i am attacking Mangoes with a vengeance

@QI – Thanks for the welcome, and thanks for the appreciation

@Smitha – True!

@Amit – Exactly. And of course, our useless media just needs to have some story to sell the ad slots.

@MeSingh – Yups. Good point there…that’s another despicable behavior that comes from people’s insecurities.
