Australia has been condemned by Indian authorities for not doing enough to stop racially motivated attacks aganist its students who are learning abroad. The Australian Prime Minister called the Indian PM to express how disturbed he was after last months' attack where a student was stabbed in the head by a screw-driver and still in the hospital after being left in a coma state. This Island country has 75,000 Indian students which make up 18% of its foreign study abroad student body.
These racially motivated attacks have been occurring for years in the last 12 months 70 students have been attacked. The Indian Student Board committee has asked the government to start a awareness program.
This attack and like many others are a serious problem for developed countries who rely on foreign labor (educated) for high-demanding jobs, that most of there local population are not capable of doing. If this does not stop potential students will be looking else-where for future employment which will deprive Australia the most needed brain-power.
