The Racial Tension Between India & Australia Is Increasing Over Nitin Garg’s Tragic Death. New Delhi Newspaper Publishes Incendiary Cartoon.
The Indian media are furious that the Australian government is not taking Nitin Garg’s murder seriously.
Last week Saturday, twenty one year old Nitin Garg was brutally stabbed to death in Melbourne Australia.
The Indian government perspective is, the Australian authorities are not taking racism against South Asians seriously down under. The Indian government are furious that the Australian police and politicians refuse to say Garg’s death was racially motivated.
I believe Nitin Garg’s death is due to racism, it was a hate crime.
The ambivalent attitude of some Australians is just abhorrent and disgusting!
One Indian newspaper, New Delhi’s “Mail Today”, is comparing Australia to the white American supremacist group the Klu Klux Klan in an incendiary cartoon.
The controversial cartoon has upset the Australian government. It appears Garg’s death has caused more friction between the two countries.
However, some critics say the Indian government is hypocritical since India is racially stratified. For example, everyone knows India has a caste system and the untouchables are discriminated against in India.
In India, only the upper class can afford to send their children to study in western countries not the poor. I have to wonder is there a class issue in the Nitin Garg tragedy? After all, it would be very difficult for poor Indians to send their children to study in Australia since the tuition fees are extremely high.
Would the Indian media really care about Nitin Garg if he was an untouchable and not from a higher social class and caste in India?
I have a couple of questions. First, is the Indian media exploiting Nitin Garg’s tragic death? Second, is the Australian government’s apathetic attitude towards racism against South Asians the reason for the anger in India?

It is the fault of the Government for not educating the local Australians of the importance of migration. The Locals should be made to realise that their sole existence depends on migration…. No population, no skills, no education, no economy therefore no contry for even the PM to rule. This will be the condition of Australia if there is no migration. The ministers fail to adress this to the uneducated locals.
They ‘CAME’ 250 yrs ago. We ‘CAME’ now…Its the same CAME CAME GAME so what is the big deal…They say they grew the apple trees and the migrants are eating the apples..NO thats wrong…we are contributing to the apple trees in the most productive ways paving the way for a better Australia.
Hello, Paddy thank you for your comment. It is true that South Asian students are important to the Australian economy. In fact, according to the Australian government’s statistics over 70,000 South Asian students studied in Australia last year.
Terrific job! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
