Oz vs us

Okay. Our boys faced it, we condemned it the racist hatred in Australia. We're mad once again, and can't tolerate it in the least.

Didn't they say beauty is skin deep, and not just on the surface of it? Why, then, are we restricted to racism's foreign fau00e7ade?

I have questions How are we tackling the racism prevalent inside Indian boundaries? How do we protect Indians in India?

North Indians are not safe in Maharashtra; North Easterners are conveniently referred to as 'chinks,' Christian missionaries are being attacked, and domicile issues in Jharkhand make it stand against Bihar aren't these examples of racial discrimination thriving right here, under our nose, before we talk tall of the Mahatmas and Ambedkars?

It's for the same fear that US President Barack Obama wants to check the growth of outsourcing in the US market, and backs third world countries and their socialist outlook.

Perhaps, this was what forced MNS chief Raj Thackeray to attack his own fellow countrymen from North India.

So, how about looking within, lest we are left without, solidarity, that is? Such incidences only kill the mutual benefit that the migrant and the host countries can derive from each other, and their synergy.

The whole is always more than the sum of its parts, have we forgotten? Why earthly alienism exist in an era when humans are busy traveling to other parts of the galaxy and roaming faraway planets?

And, when someone as convention-stuck as India can look down upon such an deed even though it hypocritically engages in some itself, it is a shame that developed countries like Australia are making their way back to the age-old evil.

Is the cycle completing a full circle? Are these developed countries finally feeling a strong threat of emerging economies such as ours?

Another way to look at it is in the form of total failure of the Indian government. Shouting slogans won't suffice.

Whether Biharis are being beaten up in Maharashtra, or Marathis in Australia, it is only because of our failure to provide enough opportunities within India.

The last 60 years haven't seen enough development in our infrastructure in the field of higher education and R&D to stop our students from setting sail to far-off shores, and now, they're paying for it.

Hopes are high with the youth brigade now in-charge at the parliament, many of them with a first-hand experience of studying abroad.

Rahul Gandhi should know. Of course, there are others who're trying to encash on the situation, adding their own episodes of being victimised.

We should not forget that any false story can malign the image of a countryfolk that is already tarnished beyond imagination.

There is also no denial of the fact that some students are found indulging in illegal activities, and so these attacks come their way. But that still doesn't answer my question who's responsible in the end them, or us?
