Cartoon adds to the fuel in Australia-India tensions

There has been a great deal of tension between Australian and India this week over a wave of attacks down under on Indian students over the last few months.

It culminated in the death of one victim last week and accusations have been flying over the racist nature of the attacks and that the Australian government is doing little to prevent them.

which Australia has condemened as deeply offensive

The caricature was in response to Victoria police stating that it was unclear yet if the murder of 21-year-old Indian student Nitin Garg in a West Footscray Park was racially motivated.
According to them, the attacks could be random acts by opportunistic criminals.
