Sunny Bajaj 20, of Delhi has decided he will leave Australia after he finishes his accounting exams at Deakins University. He is badly shaken by the attack on him in Melbourne when he was racially abused when he was accosted by two men who demanded money and when he said he did not have any, they abused him, using foul racial language. One of his attackers was white and the other of African origin.
The Federation of Indian Students of Australia alleges no help is on its way from the Indian consulate who are not interested in mediation, nor is the ministry of external affairs.
Bajaj feels the Australian government is doing its bit to bring the situation under control as are the cops.
He suggests to countrymen that they either come to Australia prepared for racial abuse but suggests they do not go to that country.
His parents are worried and want him to return to India or move to some place like Singapore.
