SYDNEY (AFP) - INDIAN students are robbed more frequently than the general average in Australia and are more likely to be assaulted than other foreign pupils, but race was not the reason, a report found on Thursday.
The Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) study, commissioned by Canberra after a diplomatically bruising spate of attacks against Indians, found they suffered higher than average rates of robbery.
Indians were also more likely to be assaulted than other international students, according to the study of scholars from China, India, Malaysia, South Korea and the United States - Australia's top education markets.
But the report downplayed race as a motive in such crimes, despite the attacks on Indian students in 2009 and 2010 which saw a drop-off in the number of lucrative overseas students coming to Australia from the country.

Aussies bashing Indians but apparently race not the motivation. I'll like to see them explain their way out of this one. Maybe it's their hatred for Curry
