Another Indian Student ‘Curry Bashed’ in Melbourne
Though it may be a good topic of debate whether the assaults on India students are outrightly racist or merely incidences of criminality carried out by drug addicts, jobless or other kinds of hooligans, but Indian students continue to be attacked despite Australian government’s all assurances of security.
Of late, a group of youths ‘curry bashed’ a 23-year-old Indian student in Melbourne for a second time in a fortnight, the 11th person from the community to be assaulted within a space of a month in Australia.
Kamal Jit, the latest soft target of Australians on a hunting spree, was found lying unconscious and bleeding by another Indian student in western suburb of the city yesterday.
Jit, the second time victim of assault, was previously pelted with eggs by several masked men after getting off a late night train at St Albans station in western suburb.
A prominent Australian daily quoted Jit as saying, “it is very bad because we pay a lot of money and we are living far away from our country and from our families and we are without protection.”
As he walked home at about 1:40 am yesterday, Jit said, he noticed three men acting suspiciously in a car and he tried to avoid them.
He then saw two men come out of it near a pizza shop, while another waited in a car.
“The two guys pushed me to the ground and I was hit on the head, I think with a steel rod,” Jit said.
