The recent spate of the recent attacks played a huge role in crashing the number of Indian students planning to study in Australia.

A report by Immigration Department showed that Study Visa Applications for Vocational courses fell to 19,530 during the last three months of the year 2009. In addition, a decline of 15 percent has been noticed in visa applications for all the educational sectors, reported The Age.

In another news piece, Jaspreet Singh, 29, a man of Indian origin, who faked racial attack after showing 15 percent burn injuries, has been charged of claiming fake insurance in shade of being racially attacked.

He deliberately torched his car, as evidences such as container and petrol, amongst others found from his home, confirmed his fakeness after his arrest, stated the Aussie police. Police has also found footage of him, buying petrol, a day before he made the roar of being attacked.

Singh, earlier came out with the statement that a group of attackers set him on fire while he was parking his vehicle. However, this incident should not be linked with the series of attacks on Indians in the past few months. All of them were genuine and government should take ample measures to stop this catastrophe right here!

Also, Indian envoy to Australia, Sijatha Singh, has been called to New Delhi for further discussion of the series of attacks on Indians in Australia.
