Addressing a Misconception: Australians Are Not Attacking Indians

There is no evidence of systematic attacks by Australians against Indians. Australia and India share a strong, friendly bilateral relationship, underpinned by deep people-to-people links, growing trade, strategic cooperation, and a vibrant Indian diaspora in Australia (over 700,000 people of Indian origin as of recent estimates).

Key Facts

• India is one of Australia's top sources of skilled migrants and international students.
• Bilateral trade exceeds AUD 30 billion annually.
• Both nations collaborate in the Quad (with the US and Japan) for a free, open Indo-Pacific.
• Cultural festivals, educational exchanges, and tourism flows are robust.

Isolated incidents of crime or racism occur in every society and are condemned by authorities. They do not reflect a pattern of "Australians attacking Indians." The overwhelming reality is one of partnership, mutual respect, and shared democratic values.
