- India's dismall performance against Kiwis in the practice match - Some of news channels are reacting as if India has already been knocked out of the T-20 WC
- Air France crash - A very very sad event indeed and I pray for the families of all victims of the crash
And
Racial attacks on Indian students in Australia
Well, I was fortunate enough to visit Australia as part of the Business Badao actitivies for my company last year and I must say that I found Australia to be one of best countries I have been to with friendly people, stunning beauty and a great passion for the game of cricket! So, indeed was really unfortunate looking at the developments that have taken place in the last two weeks or so.
But Is racial discrimination applicable only across countries? Can an Australian or for that matter an Indian be discriminated in his own country? I surely believe yes.
I live in the great Garden and IT city of India - Banglore (Bangaluru) and I come from the political and union capital of India Delhi and have found myself to be on the receiving end of racial discrimination in Bangalore. One of the common places of this discrimination is Auto stands but there are some shopkeepers here and there who continue with this tradition of "North Indians ne Bangalore me aake Bangalore ko barbaad kar dia hai"
So actually racial discrimination is not racial after all - its actually regional/linguistic and so on...
