You thought only Australians are racists? Well, if you go by the tales of international students in India, then our hospitality leaves a lot to be desired. Bangalore has a sizeable population of international students, most of whom come from African nations. These youngsters are often the object of ridicule and discrimination because of their skin colour.


Instances of harassment are many, but the law enforcers have often been accused of looking the other way. Allan Goris Maxwel, 26, from Ivory Coast, a small country in West Africa, narrates his story.

FIRST VISIT
I came to Bangalore four years ago to study BCA in a private college. When I first came, I did not quite understand why they’d laugh at me. I did not understand the language, but their meaning was hard to miss. Then came the pain of looking for a home. They refused to rent out their premises to us because we were unfamiliar. I understand that. But as we understood the language, we understood how abusive they really were.

PAINTING WRONG PICTURE
We come from a former French Colony and speak French as our first language. We speak English with a strong accent. When I was making a presentation in the college, a couple of my Indian classmates were sneering at the back, making obvious references to my accent. I asked them to stop, but nothing happened. Even the lecturer made a veiled comment that we should go back to our country.

On another occasion, we went to a club and were turned away. The reason given was, ‘niggers are not allowed’. I have an Indian girlfriend and we are constantly abused wherever we go. We were out one evening and a chap on the next table commented in Tamil, “Look at this black guy, can’t find a girl of his kind. So he is out with one of ours. Somebody should thrash him and send him back to where he came from.” My girlfriend retorted and shut them up.

When the universities come recruiting, they don’t tell us about these problems and pain a rosy picture.

COPS APATHETIC
It is difficult to convince the police. If there is a problem involving us and the locals, then we are blamed. One such instance was when my friend’s bike was hit by a Honda City and we ended up paying for the damages. My friend was beaten up by the guy who rammed into his motorbike. Cops refused to believe us.

My female friends were recently despoiled by auto drivers. No action has been taken by the cops. The police think we are to blame all the time. The recent arrest of Nigerian nationals over illegal activities has not helped either. Yet, there are friends despite all these problems. I won’t call India racist. We don’t have a shared history of hatred and you can’t hate somebody you don’t know.

For all those who screaming against racist attacks on our fellow citizens in Australia, we need to clean up our house first.
