Curry Bashing

Indians or collectively south Asians are called ‘curries in Australia. Most of them being from middle class families, leave for foreign countries to study and later to settle down depending upon their plans. However, lately the Indian media has ‘over hyped’the attacks on Indians in Australia, particularly Melbourne and Sydney. They call them racists but are they really racists or has the media just called them so ignoring the acts of Indians?

Majority of the Indian students in Australia come from ‘not so well off’ Indian families and they do not have a strong educational background too. Moreover, the educational agents in India provide them with the picture of a heaven awaiting them on the other side of the planet which lures them to migrate. Most of such students fall in the trap of such agents who receive 25% of the education fees as commission per student, and start their journey to heaven. When they get to know that most of the institutes they were told about are not more than a floor in a building, they feel disheartened. Also since education is expensive, they start finding an urgent source of earning money to send back home. In order to make most of their time, they even cross the legal 20 hours per week limit and work overnights at crime-prone spots and hence get noticed.click here for more information

On top of all that, they carry cash with them since they are paid in cash which makes them more vulnerable to attacks. On the other hand, other nationality students are better off hence they don’t become the centre of attraction.

However the media has over hyped the entire case as being the fault of Australians even atpublic forums. People do not see the fault of Indians in it but only blame one particular sector since that has been highlighted. Certainly, racial attacks are not justified but blaming one party completely for attacks isn’t wise either. Words and situations of both sides should be considered well before making it a media hype.
