Facing deportation Indians brownnose Australia
The spat has a long term impact on Indo-Aussie relations. No other country in the world has a problem with the Australian educational system. There is a huge backlash against the cribbing and many Australians are calling for a thorough restructuring of the way student arrive, and live in Australia. Much of the discussion centers on disallowing the students to work off-campus. The Australians think that stopping the students to work off-campus will screen out many of the undesirable students. The US for the longest period of time did not allow full time students to work in the US. The Australians have been very open minided in allowing students to enroll is all sorts of “educational” institutes. Many Aussies feel that Indians don’t have to come to Australia to enroll in basket weaving courses. The Indian “students” can learn basket weaving at home.
Australia has about 400,000 foreign students. The Malaysians, Lankans, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis either live in the dorms, or live in well to do apartments. Unlike the Indians, most of them also enjoy Australian foods. They do not face similar complaints. In a recent poll, most Australians had a negative view of the students from India whom they found obnoxious and very aggressive.
For weeks the Indians in Australia have been railing against the so called ”Australian racism”. Insurance fraudsters, illegal aliens who drive cabs violating their visa status, prostitutes, pimps, drug dealers and other scum of the earth used urban crime to vent anger against those who had tried to help the slumdog Indians.
The Indian media went into a tizzy fit, raking up all sorts of charges against the Australians who had allowed job opportunities to the penury stricken Indians.
The Shiv Sena, a fascist organization banned Australian players from Mumbai.
The Indians in Australia used the sensational press to make all sorts of charges.
That was then, and this is now.
Australia to expel 20,000: Mass exodus of Indians. This week, Australia changed it rules and disallowed free give away of its PR to so called “students” enrolled in Basket Weaving “Colleges”, Hair-Cutting “schools” nad Message parlor “Universities”.
Now the Indians are singing a different tune, begging the racist Shiv Sena to stop its diatribes against Australia.
Now the Indians in Australia was to just shut up and study.
AMRITSAR: The Shiv Sena threat to Australian players taking part in IPL season-3 is causing ripples Down Under, with the Indian community there apprehensive of a backlash if the Sena did not soften its stand. Indians, especially students, in Australia, are vehemently protesting the move.
The Federation of Indian Students of Australia (FISA) has expressed solidarity with Australian players and has called for building up international pressure on India to ensure the safety of the players. The association is now planning to write to Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray, asking him to desist from taking on Australian players, thinking of the safety of Indians in Australia.
“Till now, the victims were only poor Indian students. Now, the controversy has taken wide proportions and has engulfed players too. The recent stand may make it very difficult for students. FISA spokesperson,” says FISA spokesperson Gautam Gupta, told TOI over phone from Melbourne.
Last month, Shiv Sena supreme Balasaheb Thackeray had called for a ban on Australian cricketers playing in Maharashtra through an editorial in the Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamna’. The comment had come in the wake of a series of attacks on Indians in Australia. Shiv Sena leader and Saamna editor Sanjay Raut had said the party would follow its chief’s remarks and would oppose the Australian cricket team’s visit in its trademark disruptive style.
There are around 20 Australian players who are with IPL teams, including Deccan Challengers captain Adam Gilchrist, Rajasthan Royals skipper Shane Warne and other top players like Simon Katich, Brett Lee, Mathew Hayden, Michael Hussey, Andrew Symonds and Shaun Marsh.
Gupta said they were not satisfied with the outcome of the meeting between Sharad Pawar, BCCI president Shashank Manohar and Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray on this.
“They are all icons and play an important part in making IPL so interesting. Moreover, India is known for its hospitality and we wish it lives up to this image,” adds Gupta. He said the association would thank the Indian political leadership for taking up the issue of the plight of Indians in Australia.

The Indians call it “Curry bashing”. The “Dot Busting” Aussies tell the “Smelly Indians”–”Love it or leave it”. In a dramatic escalation in the war of words, the Indian diplomats have gone on a full scale offensive against Australia. Massive backlash against India: Why do Australians hate Indians? Australians are voicing anger at the Indians. Sydney is claiming that many of the students are not students at all and promises a through investigation of the credentials of the “students”. In the end, India and Indians will be the loser. Australia will find rich Chinese students to fill the slots and Indian immigration to Australia will slow down.
The Aussies have been taken aback by the ferocity of the Indian offensive. Egged on by a media which has sensationalized the random act of violence, the Indian population seems to be in a frenzy. Not to be left out the Indian icon Amitabh Bachan has refused to accept an honorary degree. As if the Australians are “passing bricks”!
Socialologists are asking the pertinent questions. Why is is that Indians are hated around the world. There is seething hatred against them in New Zealand, and the UK. OF course Indian students are not allowed in China. There is seething resentment against them in the US, as evidenced by the recent laws being passed in Congress which dramatically reduce the number of work visas issued to them. Australia used to a favorite destination for Indian students in the aftermath of 911. However the events of the past few years will dramatically change that. Australians are sick and tired of torublemakers who come to Australia, work at night, sleep during the day and save money to send home back to India. Most of the students are dirt poor and live like sardines in overcrowded dilapidated housing. Even though the Australian embassy has strict instructions to screen out the destitute, the Indian mafia provides them with fake documents showing huge bank balances and foreign currency reserves. Scams rnage from outright fraud to dishonesty. The amount of money in the bank account either does not exist, or is in a “pool” which only gets rented to the “potential” student
It like the pot calling the kettle black. Australians say that it is disingenous for the Indian leaders to lecture Australia about race relations. Sydney point to 450 million Dalit Untouchables and the 150 million marginalized Muslims in India as a manifesation of caste infestation in India.
