Once A Headline!

These days I can see all over TOI's front page the articles related to the Indians getting discriminated in Australia.Well to tell the truth I seriously would want to ask the people out there something.How many times have you complained about the overflowing guests in your house? Spoiling your monotony of house work or taking up your time? How many of you call the Tibetian people chinkis or chinks and the folks etc? and you blame Australians for being discriminating? You see us Indians have always been the first to blame others for Their faults but we never sort the problems lurking amongst ourselves!Well to tell the truth these series of incidents were supposed to happen.A rope breaks if you push the weight limit to it.Its all brain drain.Students are taking visas for studying in 'B' grade universities while many others are cab drivers or opening food joints or waiters,janitors etc.I mean Its a shame for our country having highly ranked IIT's and IIM's and their students going to B grade universities just because their cousins are having fun in either Juukay (U.K.),Kannede (Canada),Ju S A (USA) or Australia? Yes I agree with the brain drain from medical side because as far as I know there aren't many seats available for each and every student having high ambitions.But Asians especially Indians are famous for producing big time computer engineers (NASA and many multinational software firms accepts the fact) and scientists like Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.This country has given birth to the pioneers of mathematics and ayurveda.But now our students feel Its cool to study abroad coz there are no 'mummy papa' to steal your freedom and bug you 24x7.It is nowdays a custom in Punjab to have atleast 3 of your relatives abroad so that your family can be proud of them and brag about them anywhere they possibly can.Teenagers roaming around aimlessly are sent abroad thinking "Ithe vela ghumda si uthe jaake khud kama ke do vaqt di roti taan kha lega."Why cant they find good jobs in India? There is so much vacancy in IT sector (ignoring the present case of recession) and other fields.This brain drain must stop.Even 9 to 10 of my friends are in Australia driving cabs and selling ciggs as side jobs and studying engineering from universities.I was always against their decisions for going abroad.Three were big time dopers four did 12th grade twice others weren't class toppers either.So most of the people Ive seen going abroad were big time failures or dopers etc.So this doesnt leave a good impression of a country when you have such people going abroad for academics does it? If you go out to another country you should learn to socialize their way.The Indians abroad have the tendency to remain in groups and maintain that "no I wont adapt to your soceity" attitude.An average Indian tends to be just a cab driver or a shop attendant.We lack a flexibility and a sense of understanding.Public awareness and neatness is a major issue.No i dont mean you kill someone (or beat him to death) who is unhygenic and not well mannered (includes talking loud across the streets or playing music out aloud or making fun of the native people while standing in groups).Discipline should be maintained and Melbourne or Sydney arent Delhi and Chandigarh where you litter wherever you want to spit wherever you want to and break queues wherever you want to.Atleast there should be a bit of awareness about the culture of the nation your opting for.
And all the blame shouldn't be pointed to Australia.If they arent allowed in IPL doesnt mean they'll die or something.This idea just made me laugh aloud - The Australians shouldn't be allowed in IPL. Lol i mean cmon will this theory end their lives or what? lol
Its all down to the government.It should give a basic know how and knowledge about the countries you choose for education or any other purpose.Thats all is needed I hope.
I was always against this "study abroad theory" and I still Am.So if some of your friends or relatives etc plan to go abroad and study on a student visa think of the situation in Australia before you choose his/her career.It should be a reminder that this happen to anyone anywhere around the globe.

A last note I just read it in today's Khushwant Singh column in The Tribune and what he says makes sense.We are all against the beatings in Australia claming the whole country is racist.But its just a group of hoodlums claiming to be all Anti Indian.Not the whole Australia!! Moreover our people getting beaten up raises concern but what about the foreign women getting raped in various parts of India? (According to me there isnt a much worse crime than this.Its worse than murder) Couples gone missing,murdered,mutiliated,dead bodies thrown in pits? Our own Shiv Sena people were carrying that "Maharashtra clean" thingie which claims that Maharashtra is just for the Marathas and the rest of the locals. I know people from Bihar etc arent much civilized but look around i guess they are the only available labour people these days. Yes they are un civilized and rowdy and they were beaten up right? So same is the case with the Indians residing in Australia!! If the beating of those people belonging to UP or Bihar is a "cleaning process" then i guess the thing happening in Australia is also a "cleaning process" and it should be carried on till they want to right? Ill never know why is this country called secular. You might as well want a new nation and a separate land for yourselves next? Think About It!

No offense is meant.These are just some personal views on the whole scenario.Im an Indian myself and yes I'm againt this and I know we can always opt for a peaceful and reasonable solution .
