Let’s face the truth. Indians are being targeted in this country, although they make no burdens on it and although US corporations, US investors, and the world  economy have all profited immensely from entering the Indian market. More evidence from street crime records:

“C.K. Patel, former president of the National Federation of Indian Associations, said, “We have reports that Indians were targeted in Atlanta. Indian businessmen and their establishments were being targeted.”

According to Patel, Indians are targeted because they keep jewelry at home. “There have been cases where they were robbed of their jewelry immediately after they purchased it from a shop and were bringing it home.”

“Some of our friends actually got robbed. We don’t want to be victimized when we are at home,” he added. “I feel confident I can use the gun and protect myself,” he said after receiving an hour-long training.

“I just wanted to see what it feels like and learn some safety issues, more than anything else, just in case I get into a situation,” Nivelle Bilimoria said.

Indian American communities in other parts of the United States have also been targets of robberies.
But this is the first time that they are taking training in shooting as a self-defense measure.

“Indians seem to be adverse, probably culturally, but once you settle down in this country, you have got to adapt to the country,” Dijjocam Raina was quoted as saying, adding that he had not held a gun in 20 years, but now he plans on buying one and keeping it close for safety.

Local police conceded that the Indian American community is being targeted by robbers who held them at gunpoint and snatched away their gold and other valuables.

Last month, police in Fremont, Calif., with a high Indian American population, arrested two men in connection with a string of robberies — Matthew Howard and Daryl Dove, who police said targeted individuals wearing “high-dollar necklaces and bracelets.”

Comment:

I was robbed in a very affluent neighborhood once.  Got into the bus and a well-dressed gentleman, with a rolled up umbrella and trench coat, slipped his hand into my pocket and removed a bracelet watch that I hadn’t had time to put on.  So that is my strange experience. I’ve walked around in ghetto neighborhoods, sometimes quite late, and nothing’s ever happened, and then at a bus-stop opposite my house, a guy from the same neighborhood robs me of a watch. A white, guy, for what it’s worth. And it was a pretty watch with jewelry. I felt so bad, I never wore anything like that again.  Only cheap trinkets.  Now I’ve stopped altogether.  So, when I remember all that, and listen to the unending stories about mortgage fraud, scams, robberies, murders, and home invasions, and then see Rajat Gupta, a decent man, being paraded around as the poster child for things he had no responsibility for, I really do feel something is sick, not in the justice system so much as in public culture.  It’s time for Indian-Americans to leave and it’s time for Indian students to stop coming to this country.  I’m sure this will be good news for most Americans.

It won’t be such good news, of course, when Indians reciprocate and stop foreign financial flows and investment in the country.  That’s coming too. And not a minute too soon.
