You have to inform the people in North America about what’s happening to Indians in Oz. I wasn’t in Melbourne, but I was in Oz when I read (in some Indian community paper) about how taxi drivers holding a candle-light vigil to protest police inaction over their safety were jeered at by passing Aussies.

People in the States cannot relate to this kind of feeling/resentment from the majority population.

As for uncle-ji’s political success… makes me feel good. Makes me proud to be from the bay.

As a journalist from Australia (desi working for desi paper Indus Age) I would like to contact him for a story. We have similar taxi-driver issues here and are trying to get desis involved in local politics. Any chance of me getting his email id or a contact number? Thanks p.s. the website does not quite mirror what we do on print.</p> This is a fantastic story.
