After the attacks on some indian students in Australia, everybody has started raising concerns over safety of indian students there. Having understood this obvious reaction, I personally feel that even though there are some issues related with the safety of indians in the current situation there but instead of looking at our own fault we are trying to overhype the whole issue. There is no doubt that on the cricket field we have seen some unsporty behaviour from some australian cricketers, But it does not mean that all the Australians are racists. For God sake look at people like Steve Waugh, Adam Gilchrist and even the likes of Brett lee. They have shown utmost respect for all the players they have played against.

The current problem there has been caused by few anti social elements and without any doubt the culprits should be punished and the situation should be improved. I have my deepest condolences with the families who have suffered but instead of blaming the australian societies for their behaviour towards us, is there any one who has made an effort to look into depth as to how some indian students are living there. We call ourselves easy victims now, but what happens to us when some of us who are staying there get up and go out in the moonlight and take a piss where ever they want to? What about the loudest of the music they play in the nights when the whole australia is sleeping? What about the situation when 10 of them stay in a 2 BHK flat and create problems after getting drunk? What about the abusive comments our own countrymen there make in our native language to the australians? What about their constant staring at the australian chicks? What about the frequent breaking of the various other rules there by some of us?

Forget Australia, Just think of our own behaviour against the foreigners who come here. Search and look at the stats. How many crimes against foreigners such as rape, Physical abuse etc. have been reported in last 2 years or so? How many of the culprits have been punished? What are the actions our government has taken to improve the situation in our own country? If you look into depth you will find that most of the cases are still pending. Look at the case of Hanna foster. Does any one even remember from how long the case has been running?

The whole point i wanna make here is that there is no doubt that the safety and security levels in Australia should be improved in order to have a peaceful and tension free society. But at the same time we indians need to understand their culture, their way of living and not only that; we need to respect it the way it is. There is a need for us to look within ourselves and find out our own faults. Only then we have the right to point out fingers at others...
