Amid a spate of attacks on Indians here, the Victorian government today said it will provide all relevant details to New Delhi on these incidents. - Attacks on Indians: Enquiries for study in Australia decline - Stocks, commodities up as Australia raises rates - Australia first advanced economy to lift rates since crisis - Coal India"s EoI for mine acquisitions attracts 52 global cos - Victoria Premier invites India businessmen to invest - Brumby criticised back home for not discussing Indian fugitive Victorian Premier John Brumby, who was on a week long trip to India to mend the troubled relationship, offered this suggestion to New Delhi, according to his spokesperson. "Premier Brumby made the offer to the Indian government to keep them appraised of progress of cases involving Indian citizens in Victoria. The updates will track the progress of cases through Victoria"s legal system," the official said. Brumby has been assuring Indian authorities of full support to curb any violence against Indians apart from following up the incidents of "racial crime". He has stressed that relationship between India and Australia was strong and the Indian community formed a vital part of the multicultural society in the state. The premier also urged the community to have complete faith in the legal system of the country. Around 30 Indian students were attacked in various cities from June to August. Last month, three Indians were "brutally bashed" by a group of around 70 youth here. The attacks against Indians described in the media as race-based caused some diplomatic discomfort between the two countries and sparked angry protests in India. Around 93,000 of the 430,000 foreign students in Australia are Indians.

Politics in command in Sino-Indian ties
The rise of China is India’s only important diplomatic challenge. Relations with Pakistan is in many ways, and for both countries, an extension of domestic politics. Relations with the United States is increasingly mediated by business and civil society interests that circumscribe the role of diplomacy. Relations with the rest of the world, big powers and small, can be handled without too much trouble if the Indian economy continues to grow and offers new opportunities for the flow of goods, services and people.
