Manjari Shivahare: Racial discrimination in Australia is an issue which the Indian government can do little about except to voice concern about human rights abuses. I personally feel that the situation is blown out of proportion by the media and panders to the need to sell sensationalism. Within India itself we have innumerable cases of discrimination based on caste, creed and sex and against our own countrymen. This negates any holier than thou attitude we adopt to cry foul over treatment of our countrymen abroad. I agree with the premise that if world class higher education were available in our country, our talented youngsters would not have to seek opportunities abroad to enhance their qualifications.
