An Indian in Australia

What is happening today to Indians in Australia is really bad and is causing the affected families deep wounds that may take a very long time to heal.


An year ago our little brother flew
To the land of kangaroo
To learn and explore new avenue

O we all felt so nice
For he was bright and wise
And filled with vigor and drive

For days he missed us all
Feeling homesick on every recall
He buzzed to know matters big and small

He soon settled down
In this Australian Oz town
Amid friends who were known

He studied day and night
For his exams were next fortnight
He was confident of climbing greater height

He called up early that day
As it was his birthday
O how we missed him in everyway

We promised to cut the cake
That mother loved to bake
That evening at our place

Little did we know
That at same time he was getting a blow
Just because his race was considered low

As Anil bled and lay
In a deserted walkway
He knew he was passing away

Who can now console
This families cries and howl
As they miss him with all their soul

Gandhiji fought against Racism more than a hundred years ago. Although the world today boasts of becoming a smaller place, with people from different ethnic and economical background interacting and coming together …the mindset of many is still covered with smog of prejudice and bias. Alas !

Racism! Why did you surface
To show your dirty dark face
Isn’t it so wrong and a big disgrace
To hate another country or race
Whether it is black or white face
Isnt equality and interracial embrace
What's required today in every place

LET LOVE AND WISDOM PREVAIL. PRAY GOD.

Hi Tubelight,

[FONT=&quot]Earlier the Australian government officials came out saying there was no racism in this and it happened in every major city in the world..be it Melbourne or Mumbai. On the contrary I know that in Mumbai foreigners get treated with more respect than our own guys. Now the Australians themselves are agreeing that there is a racist twist to it.
