Attack on Indian Students not Racial, Says Australian Govt Based on Study

New Delhi: After intense criticism following the attacks on Indian students last year, the Australian government says that the attacks were not racial. Referring to a study, a first of its kind held in the country, the Australian government says that that the rates of assault on Indian students were lower than or on par with the general Australian population. The study also found that rates of robbery against Indian students were higher than average for Australians in larger states for most years.
