What should I keep in mind as an Indian student moving to Australia?

Living in India I've come to realize many things I didn't know about India and Indians, one of which is that so many Indians are totally vegetarian, many not even eating eggs, and Jains who won't even eat vegetables grown underground.If you're totally veg, you'll find it difficult to shop - we don't mark our foods in Australia with veg/non-veg.As far as racial prejudice, there is some, and the media like to 'beat up' any attacks on Indian students.  I know a young man here in Ahmedabad who lived and studied in Melbourne for three years.  He told me that he is sure that Indian students are attacked no so much because of racial motives, but because they usually have the best and latest mobile phones and laptops.  He may be right.  He said that he didn't experience any racism, but kept his mobile and laptop hidden.Finally, prices!  Almost everything in Australia is much more expensive than in India.  Make sure you have sufficient budget.  Good luck with your studies, and I hope you enjoy Australia!

Is racism against Indians common in Australia?

Well....No one cares whether you are pink with purple dots!! Get my drift!
No one cares that you are an Indian-American. If your company wants to bring you over for a 2 month working holiday--go for it. But, you have already made up your mind about those that live here before you even open that closed mind of yours and see what a wonderful country Australia is.
If you come over here with a chip on your shoulder, thinking that because you are "Indian-American"--that you will be degraded, insulted, mugged, beaten up or even killed--you need to get a life. Grow up!
If you come over here thinking that you are the holy roller and that everything which happens to you while over here is because of your ethnic background and the colour of you skin, then stay in LA.
There is a certain degree to racism every where you go--including the States-including Australia.
People really need to give those of us who live in Oz a little more credit.
Mummy & Daddy always told me---Ignorance is bliss.

Oh--BTW--If you come--stay away from Kings Cross! LOL

Do international students feel racism in Australia?

Quite often, although it has changed in the cities, sydney is now 30% asian descent, and at least 20% mixed nationalities, country towns can be very bigoted, all white anglo saxons only chinese and thais run the local restaraunt, or are slave workers on farms, nearly every taxi and uber driver in sydney and melbourne, are indian, pakistani. They are also in the public service in large amounts and old peoples homes nursing, not many in country towns, most indian engineers if they cant get a job at telstra or optus, drive cabs or uber. Although over half the doctors in australia are indian or chinese, thousands in medicine, so i guess it depends where you go, even sydney and melbourne building sites have lots of chinese workers, its getting less racist. But you will find first generation migrants like greeks and italians are as racist as anglo saxon celtic australians toward new minorities.

Did you experience any racism as an international student in Australia?

I was rather concerned about potential displays of racism before I left for my exchange program. After all, Australia has a bit of a reputation (and undeservedly so), among several Indian households of being a rather racist country, owing to the few incidents of mugging and racist attacks on Indian students a few years back which saw a notable decline in the rate of Indian students headed there.Based on my experience though? I found my fears absolutely unfounded. To begin with, my home was owned by an Indian and was a multicultural hub of people from India, Nepal, Korea, Oman, Malaysia, Hungary, Japan and Saudi Arabia. Naturally there was a strong respect for different cultures and I had a wonderful time experiencing a truly multicultural household.In many ways I found it to be a broader reflection of my whole Sydney experience. A mini-melting pot so to speak. Everybody I met in public was very friendly and laid-back, and I always got that most coveted “G’day mate” from the bus drivers and shop assistants. One time I got on a bus which only had old grannies headed somewhere and I am now convinced that Australia has some of most badass and funny old grannies in the world!Now, this is not to deny that racism does exist in Australia as it exists just about anywhere in the world. However, it’s certainly not a big issue in the big cities as per my understanding. And it’s certainly not something that should hold anybody back from considering Australia as their destination for study or immigration.

Why do Australians hate indians?

i live in india and my 19 yr old brother studies in australia. i saw on the news about nitin garg who was stabbed to death for apparently no reason other than that he was indian, he was only 21 yrs old, he just finished studying and he was about to start his career. thats so sad. my brother is scared to go out of the house and my parents are scared for him too. they want him to move to new zealand to continue his education because its more of an accepting country. many people in india are applying to new zealand to study now. by the way we are very well-off in india so my brother is coming back here when he finishes his degree. he doesnt want PR. i also saw on the news that an australian man shot an indian man in india and an indian man was set on fire by an australian gang. this was all in the past week too! apparently there are over 1500 serious attacks causing injury or death on indians in australia every year. what other country in the world does this? we never heard of this from new zealand, uk or even america!

why would you do that to people who are bringing millions and millions of dollars to add to your economy? indian international students contribute at least 4 billion dollars a year. some poor people in india even sell their house and take out huge loans to study in australia. all they want is safety?

well anyway its your loss to your economy. did you know the australian government spends milions advertising australia in india? they put ads on TV and in magazines. but everyone knows that its a scam. the indian news has been continously reporting nitin garg's story for the past week and everyone in india knows about this. the foreign affairs ministry has issued a travel warning for australia and indian international students. everyone is going to other countries.

Which is the best place in Australia for Indian migrants?

For the kind of migrant who are looking for the Indian answer I simply tell them this - ‘INDIA’.I also get similar questions like - where can I find the best Indian food? Where will be the celebration of most Indian festivals held? Where can we buy Indian dresses? The answer is INDIA.I migrated to Melbourne earlier in 2018. I settled down in one of the green suburbs of east Melbourne. Upon hearing my answer of which Melbourne suburb I live in, most Indian gape in awe? They just cannot digest why am I not living with other Indians in western suburbs? Some Indians were rude and they hinted I cringe for White neighbors and I was not Indian minded. I am sure these are the same people who cry foul racist attack when they are unable to communicate or interact with local communities. There were other funny expressions - one said why am I living in a jungle? When I said it’s 12Km from CBD and is one of the most liveable suburb of Melbourne that propels Melbourne to global liveability index ranking, he just said ‘ohh’. Another pitied me for my commute because I do not live in a shoebox apartment in the city. The common thing that I have noticed in most of these people is that they have lived in Melbourne nearly 5 years. The only places they normally are aware of are -suburbs around Point Cook , the city and Melbourne airport from where they fly to India.I strongly suggest Indians not to trap themselves in a cultural bubble when they come to Australia. Do integrate with other communities. Like there is a lot to learn from second generation Chinese, Malaysian communities about how they have established themselves so well in a foreign country, I will not say every Australian is great. I have had untoward alterations with other Aussies regarding parking, cyclists being rude and also at work. However, that is not a racist attack. It is the same as it could happen anywhere even in your country.I do desist the culture of forming South Asian ghetto suburbs in the lines of pre world war Europe. I know many Indians just shift to Paramatta in Sydney and other similar suburbs in major Australian cities. So I repeat once again - the most conducive place for lookin for Indian goods and living with Indians is INDIA. Don’t ask this in Australia again!
