the wikileaks cable makes it clear what everybody knew: indians were being attacked for being indians; i have always suspected that it was possibly lebanese toughs -- who have made some parts of oz no-go areas for police -- who were behind it, seeing as they had religious prejudices anyway, and also viewed the indians as less likely to hit back. they wouldn't attack chinese, i suspect, because of 'soft power' -- all those kung-fu films have convinced thugs that chinese will do karate or something. and there are chinese triad gangs and vietnamese gangs in australia, so the criminals have a healthy respect for east asian looking people in terms of whether they will hit back.
but hindus, ah, they know hindus are weak and soft.
ergo, the answer for all this is for indians to go out and buy some guns. yes, seriously. deterrence. kill a couple of racists, the rest will think twice.
i guess this is also part of the gandhi legacy ('soul force') and the jawaharlal legacy ('chinese beat up on india in 1962) and the sonia legacy ('pak terrorists kill indians at will -- see mumbai 11/26').
so, of course, they decide to shoot up the oldest hindu temple in australia, just days after an 'inter-faith' meeting. i suppose the 'inter-faith' meeting made it clear there were no weapons inside the temple (which may or may not be true for some other 'faiths' that i could name).

120K students Indian students - isn't that a big business waiting to be tapped?
Since Indians will not stop going abraod for higher studies, a resourcesful VC should be able to tap this major opportunity -- some kinda private NR-IIT in a non-racist, immigrant friendly nation.
South Africa? Mauritius? Singapore? Bhutan? Namibia? New Zealand? There will be enough disgruntled IIT professors and those from Europe and North America willing to join.
