The Indian hypocrisy

Reports of assaults started to surface a year ago, peaking with a series of vicious attacks in May and June this year that left one student in a coma. Over 2,000 students marched in Melbourne in protest, prompting the Indian government to condemn the violence in June and Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to issue a statement officially denying that the country was unsafe for Indian students. Students claimed the attacks were racially motivated, but police and government authorities maintained they were mainly opportunistic. Tensions also spread to Sydney, with protests erupting at Harris Park, in the city’s west, where many of the assaults took place. Indian students are the second largest group of foreign students in Australian after those from China.

It seems to me the over-reaction was less about concern over attacks and more a matter of an opportunity to put the Government on the back foot with regards for Indian applications.

INDIAN police are searching New Delhi for the men who gang-raped a 23-old-student and threw her off a bus in an attack that has sparked fresh concern for the safety of women in the city.

The woman accompanied by a male friend boarded a bus on Sunday night and was attacked by at least four men and gang-raped, police said.  Some media reports said the attackers also included staff of the bus.  The victim’s companion was battered with iron rods before the men took turns and raped her, police officials said.

The couple were then thrown off the moving bus, seriously injuring the woman, they said. “When they boarded the bus, there were a few other men as well in the vehicle,” area police chief Chhaya Sharma told reporters. “As of now, we can confirm the involvement of four men,” she said, adding police artists have drawn sketches of the attackers from descriptions given by the victims.  Mr Sharma said the female victim was in intensive care in a city hospital where her companion is also being treated.

The attack sparked new calls for greater security for women in New Delhi, which registered 568 rapes in 2011 compared to 218 in India’s financial capital Mumbai the same year.

If these people are so outraged over attacks in Australia surely they are tearing up the streets in their own country over the violence of Indian gangs in their own cities The adage of people who live in Tin shacks not throwing rocks come to mind..
