Must have been before my time, but there have been a spate of attacks against Indian students, particularly in Melbourne, in recent months. This has got to the stage where diplomatic relations between Australia and India have been put under some strain. There have even been threats by some radical groups against Australian cricketers taking part in the coming cricket season in India.
