Victoria state minister of Police Bob Cameron condemned the “Racist Indian Cartoon” which appeared in India’s Mail Today on January 5. The issue is brought about by an incident where Indian 21 years old Nitin Garg got murdered in Melbourne along with other known attacks on South Asians. In defense, Vicotoria officials say that “..the attacks have not been racist, but random acts by opportunistic criminals“.
The “Racist Indian Cartoon” in the newspaper bears a person wearing a white Ku Klux Klan hood with a Victoria state police badge and the words which read: “We are yet to ascertain the nature of the crime.”
This may have soured the relations between India and Australia, despite the fact that there have been strong relationship and trend going on between them in the domain of education. To wit, Australia’s Tourism Forecasting Committee said that in December, there were over 70,000 Indians who studied in Australia in 2009.
