"Don't come to this country. I was lucky to have escaped''

jun 15th, 2009

in a way, the whole thing is pretty sad. most of the indian students who go to australia, it is clear, are just looking for an easy way to migrate. that speaks volumes about how the indian government has not been able to live up to the aspirations of its middle class, not to speak of the aspirations of the poor (which is simply to have something to eat).

NEW DELHI: Twenty-year-old Sunny Bajaj has made up his mind. He will leave Australia for good. The Shalimar Bagh boy, who studied at Sachdeva 

Public School in west Delhi and is pursuing accounting at Deakins University for the past one-and-a-half years now, has been left badly shaken by the attack on him at Melbourne on Friday night when he was racially abused and bashed up, leaving him with bruises and a fractured finger. 

He was so traumatised by the incident that he skipped his exams on Monday. Speaking to TOI from Melbourne, he said: ``If Indian students really think they can cope with such abuses, they should come here. But my suggestion is don't come to this country. I was lucky to have escaped - otherwise I would have been in coma now.''
