Don't know which part of Australia youare living in. There are hundreds of Indians including relatives and friends of mine who are very happy in Australia and do not experience the racism you're talking about. I do sympathize with you and will send you the information you require. The important thing is to resolve your problem with organizations both Indian and Australian that are concerned about racism and human rights right there where you live. I would also suggest that you should introspect very seriously and ask yourself what is it that you do culturally and behaviorally that attracts the degradation you have talked about, since 90% of immigrants in Australia don't experience the racism as you describe it. Wish you good luck in resolving the problem and God give you peace of mind George Dear Mr. Jaswani

I cannot imagine anyone reading it not wanting to rethink their commotive strategies. *** Given recent events, I have my own words for him: Mr. Thackeray, it is because of divisive elements like you that our country has been divided and conquered by so many invaders. Please work towards uniting this country, not breaking it apart in your selfishness. *** It is difficult for me to understand why someone like Bal Thackeray cannot (or perhaps chooses not to) see the many benefits that the variety in India provides us - music, poetry, religion - there simply is no country as rich as ours. I don't know if the foreign invaders led to this variety in us today or whether we just happen to very receptive. But living in caves will only create dark thoughts, we have to come into the open and see the colors. Best regards, Rajesh. Mr. Menezes,

A very moving letter. I cannot imagine anyone reading it not wanting to rethink their commotive strategies.

Given recent events, I have my own words for him:
Mr. Thackeray, it is because of divisive elements like you that our country has been divided and conquered by so many invaders. Please work towards uniting this country, not breaking it apart in your selfishness.
***

It is difficult for me to understand why someone like Bal Thackeray cannot (or perhaps chooses not to) see the many benefits that the variety in India provides us – music, poetry, religion – there simply is no country as rich as ours.

I don’t know if the foreign invaders led to this variety in us today or whether we just happen to very receptive. But living in caves will only create dark thoughts, we have to come into the open and see the colors.

Best regards,
Rajesh.
