Subject : Indian student beaten up and robbed in Australia

"Non-Resident Indians are now having a big trouble in Asian continent as well. We used to think that we were in safe place where we could breathe a fresh air of freedom. There are a number of Indian people reside in Australia and Singapore, especially the youths who come here for higher studies and few for business purpose. The violence occurred in Melbourne, where four Indian students were assaulted by a group of Aus teenagers and unfortunately one of them (Sourabh Sharma, 21) is now battling for life in a hospital. This is a really very horrifying occurrence for those students who are living outside without their parents. NRIs cannot overcome easily from this dread atmosphere over there. The apathetic Australian Government must take some positive steps to curb this indignation."
