Information Madness

Back in early 2000, Indian students were preferring USA for their further studies but since 9/11 and strict USA visa policies, Australia has become the next popular country for Indian students.

International students are a financial cornerstone of the Australian education industry. According to a recent article in The Australian, the education industry had a turn-over of A$6.9 billion in 2005. Indian students alone spent A$585 million, double what they spent only two years ago.1 In 2005, 344,815 full-time international students were enrolled in Australian higher education programmes. The number of Indian students (27,661) was second only to Chinese students (81,184) but represented an annual increase (33.5%) that outpaced all others.

 

Even though Indian students drive Australia's education industry, Australia is not taking serious steps against the racial attacks on Indian students. Another student recently was stabbed in Melbourne. Here is another CCTV capture from a rail that shows a racial attack on an Indian by Australians.

 

 

 

 

It is so sad to see a democratic country like Australia doing nothing against such ridiculous racial attacks.
