Through a recent study, it has been found that around forty five percent of victims of racial discrimination in Britain are Indians. This has also revealed that racial attacks are increasing in Britain and are caused by the government’s attitude towards racism.

By the recent report of “Racial Violence: The Buried Issue” has revealed that around six hundred cases of violent attacks of racial discrimination occurred in the year 2009. It has been observed that some particular groups of people are at greater risk of becoming the victims of racism are mainly asylum seekers, Muslims and people who look like Muslims working as taxi drivers or as delivery boys in small eateries and new migrants.

There are about eight-nine victims of racial attacks who have lost their lives since the killing of a black young boy, Stephen Lawrence in the year 1993. Amongst them around forty five per cent were Asians and ten percent migrant workers. This is a great problem for the foreign students who come to Britain to study or work and have to face harassment and insult which greatly affects their mental and physical health. Racial discrimination provokes them to take serious steps like suicide or they may even go into depression.

The IRR search has observed that racial attacks occur more in the areas like Southall, Tower Hamlet, Hackney and Newham as comparison to other areas. The cases of racial violence are increasing day by day in cities, towns and villages as more migrant employees, foreign students, and asylum seekers are coming to the country. The new IRR report asks the government that how new immigration is the cause for rising racial violence in the country? The country is facing different kinds of racial attacks caused by different regional conditions. Government officials are responsible for this racial violence because of their negligence to local areas which are poor and disadvantaged.
