Indian students demand justice

Melbourne: Shaken by a wave of racial assaults, thousands of Indian students, chanting “Bharat Mata Ki Jai,” rallied here on 31st May, Sunday demanding justice for the victims of recent attacks as Australia scrambled to contain the rising anger and frustration within the community.
The “peace rally,” organised by bodies such as the Federation of Indian Students in Australia (FISA) and the National Union of Students, kicked off from outside the Royal Melbourne Hospital, where 25-year-old Shravan Kumar is in a critical condition after being stabbed with a screwdriver by a group of teens on Sunday last.
