India’s travel advisory gets Australia’s goat

Image
Image by Getty Images via Daylife Following the murder of 2 Indian students, the Indian government issued a travel advisory to Indian’s living in and planning to visit Australia. However, the Australian government has taken offense and reacted by accusing Indian leaders of fuelling hysteria over safety. Instead of venting their spleen on Indian politicians and on things beyond their control, they will be better if they identify and stop these racially motivated attacks and make Australia a safer place.
