I think you have missed the point of the post and the cartoon. Just because it is an Indian on Indian (or in USA a black on black) crime, it is no reason for the police to be complacent. The victims of crimes are victims, irrespective of the perpetrator and whether the victims are Indian, White or any other ethnic group.
The point of my post, was the Indian newspaper's "witty and pointed message" of the cartoon, (no pun intended) regarding the response of the Australian police, was taken as an affront by the Australian cabinet minister. No such luck when cartoons in the Western media distort and / or offend the ethnic or religious sensitivities of other groups / nationalities. If one believes in "freedom of the press", the minister should have stayed out of the reporting of a free-press. I guess we know when and where "the shoe bites". Thanks for telling us the crimes against Indians were perpetrated by other Indians. Now the Indians who live down-under can sleep better, especailly if they have a White Australian girlfriend / boyfriend / mistress. Regards, GL ----------- Gabriel de Figueiredo Some of the news don't mention the nationalities/origins of the attackers when they do mention the nationalities/origins of the victims as Indians, which can cause a distortion in understanding the motives behind some of the attacks. There was an Indian attacked in one of my friends' neighbourhood, which was reported in the local press - later transpired that the attackers were themselves other Indians, who had had prior altercations earlier on. I presume the trend is similar in other parts of the world.
