Australia is now the official latest entrant to the racist club.

Last few days reports of attacks on four Indian students in separate incidents in Melbourne, Australia have been making news in India.One was kicked and beaten badly in a local train and 3 or 4 white perpetrators have been caught on the CCTV.This film is being shown in every news itmem. Another , in a separate incident was beaten up so badly that he is in coma.
The Indian sudents' house was also burgled and contents smashed.

The Australian High Commissioner in India, the Indian High Commissioner in Australia made usual noises about the 'deplorable' incidents, australian police ascribed theft as a reason and denied racism, they are quite tight-lipped in giving out details either including of a murdered Indian youth some time back.

Here, in Britain, a white supremacist party called British National Party is expected to make significant gains in forthcoming elections to european parliament and then the general elections , benefitting from corruption scandal [my last journal entry] which has discredited all the three major political parties. BNP's motto is anti-immigration, Britain for whites [british jobs for british workers] only and allied pure racism.Elsewhere in europe to, due to economic downturn, foreigners are first to be blamed for taking 'our' jobs away and rightist parties are on an ascent.


British were not invited to either Australia or India, or any of the colonies two centuries back.They went to plunder and did that over the next century and half aided with superior technology and military.The surplus from the plunder has made this nation rich. Carrying the culture abroad the white 'immigrants' systematically marginalised and almost annihilated the aborigines in Australia.

It is remarkable that students have been targetted in Australia.They brought money to the country unlike migrant workers.

Of course racism does not recognise logic or history.But it is regretful that racism makes the same history of hatred and violence over time.

I think there is more to racism than just economic disgruntlement. The primal animal instincts of territorial possession are quite alive and kicking notwithstanding the superficial claims of 'civilisation' and 'democracy' and 'multiculturalism'.No religion, no ideology has been able to get humans rid of these instincts.
