  1. I am amazed that the Indian representative here in Australia is discussing racism, this is a so called democratic country that allows and supports Hindu extremists who kill its christian citizens.Right across the country Christian Pastors have been bashed, burnt, victimised and tortured, women and young girls raped and set alight, and whole communities burnt down.Police stand by and watch as large groups of men carry out these atrocities on innocent people who have done nothing to provok the situation they are in. In this country of grouping individuals and tribes into Casts the Christian communities there have been picking up the pieces.Children who once were sold into prostitution and slavery, now find love, sanctuary, education and equality in Christian run Orphanages, many who rely wholey on donations. Now Im not a racist, and indeed I work with some very pleasant Sikkhs. But I have some words of advise for the Indian Government…………..clean up your own back yard first, then come and talk to us about ours. We are not perfect, and we may still have elements of Racism in our society, but we do not genecide people based on race or religion
