Indian Man Set Alight In Melbourne
The 29-year-old Indian was returning home from a dinner party with his wife when he set up by a gang of men, who poured fluid over him and then set him alight.
He is now in a Melbourne hospital, where his condition has been described as serious, suffering from burns to 15% of his body.
Police say they are not sure why the man was targeted and whether it was a racially-motivated attack - but it is bound to increase the sense of outrage in India, where there's been an angry reaction to the murder last weekend of Nitin Garg.

There are 25 Million expat Indians. It's not that easy to create that many new jobs.

its about time Indian govt did something for its citizens...develop infrastructure and create so many job opp that ppl don't need to go anywhere..its a wake up call and they better wake up!
With the economy down, jobs hard to get, the natives start viewing outsiders with disdain. Especially the ones who seem well off.
Indians are no longer safe in Australia. period.

Racial discrimination happens everywhere...In this case the Indian media has zeroed in on this topic.Add to that the PC brigade in Australia report these attacks as "criminal" activity rather than as "racial".
this has definitely damaged the image of Australia..
What the hell is wrong with this guys at Aussies?
Student movements dropped by 46%.
Indian government released a travel advisory too. Shame on Australia.
