Field Hockey-which is far older & more popular than Ice Hockey.Indian teams dominated the sport for almost 40 years from the 1930s to 70s.

Imagine a crowd of 50 people chasing down a group of foreigners and beating them up in India.. we would have all the anti-Indian crowd in full swing on FR claiming a religious motive.

Hmmm, I find your comment very suspect.

FYI, Indians have NEVER beaten up any group of people of any non-Indic races, whether they are Germans or Americans or Africans or Chinese in this manner, solely due to their race..

The Indian mobs do have a bloody go at the Christians from time to time.

Hindu Nationalists typically are not very happy about christians. Never mind moslems.

problem is any minority in the west today thinks they can play victim....even bourgeois Indian engineers

Hammer slams nail. We have created a monster, by being the civilisation that actually gives a d*mn. Sadly ironic.

My only question is what do they mean by a ‘harmless jostle.’

This issue needs to be discussed as this seems to be a growing trend in Germany.

A growing trend of what exactly? Hating anyone who is non-German?

That would seem to be an old trend which, perhaps, only went underground.

Being a newcomer here and suffering the media and Hollywood onslaught in the West in general, you’ve been lied to that racism and bigotry are an end all to all folks here.

They are to many but not to all of us. Many of us are sick and tired of the blame game and the full frontal offensive to denigrate western (”white”) culture taking place on our own shores and in Europe for that matter.

It’s ridiculous. America is the most open society in the world...bar none. The concept of untouchables and caste like where you left from are unknown here.

Blacks and other mostly urban minorities arguably have more political power even than their numbers merit as a voting bloc due to their clustering and white guilt.

We are allowing illegals to stream into our borders and set up shop and afraid to deport them since most are brown or non-white.

The worlds largest transfer of wealth to ostensibly help minorities get a leg up...mostly failed admittedly but the money sure got taxed and taken from us.

Whites have been marginalized here voluntarily to accommodate as a form of redress and also because trying to do right in time is simply our way.

All that and a newbie like you comes here and wants to lecture us on Indian cultural benevolence and open minded. That is a fantasy. India has a history of quite the opposite...especially over religious strife.

You son....are a victim of the hype. I don’t fault you, but it’s proof our work is cut out for us to turn back this evil that is political correctness and the infection of reason that it spreads.

Probably just the beginning in Europe, and nothing to do with Indians. As Muslims gain demographic dominance, not all Euros will go quietly. But most of them will.

However, it is perfectly OK for these German savages to act in such an uncivilized and sub-human manner ?

Uh, dude. What the hell are you on about. You post a story and immediately start slamming FReepers for their as-yet unstated opinions on the described events? It sounds like you have a big ol' chip on your shoulder of a racial nature. From the limited information given it seems the assailants were probably at least criminals and perhaps criminals motivated by racism. But "sub-humans"? Whose behavior is "perfectly ok" to FReepers? Take a chill pill, FRiend.

Oh, and thank you, come again!

Y’all might oughta check out the soon-to-be First Lady of Louisiana, Mrs. Bobby Jindal. She’s already spoken for, of course, but she’s plenty hot! Bayou Masala, baby!

There are parts in the former E. Germany that foreigners should always keep their wits about when travelling/staying/working. Especially if it is easy to 'see' that you are a foreigner (i.e. you don't look 'native German'). I have not heard of many cases in the areas formerly known as W. Germany, but in the former E. Germany there are several areas that are tacit 'no go' zones. This is the first case I've hear concerning Indians, but a good number of Africans have had some rough experiences at the hands of the neo-Nazis (and some lost their lives). I also believe some Eastern Europeans who happened to look different (or were known to be from other countries) have also met with some 'difficulties' in those areas.

Anyways, Germany is a great country. It is just that there are some areas that tend to be on the 'interesting' side.

I have yet to see anyone claim this. You're getting upset about something that didn't happen.

This is surely incorrect. In any large group of people, there will be some bad apples. Indians are no exception to this rule - there are no exceptions.

“This issue needs to be discussed as this seems to be a growing trend in Germany.”

In several places in Europe, I would expect the locals are very pissed off about the influx from islamic origins, primarily. At least in this example.

It appears in Germany, it goes to all newcomers, not limited to muslims.

I had a good friend years ago, who first moved from Bombay to Tehran, as he was Zoroastrian. That fact alone made him “Iranian” to those with little knowledge of history.

Anyway he found a happy life in the US, where for the most part we discriminate regarding who we discriminate against. I recall soon after 9/11/2001 some Sihks were beat up, no doubt by idiots who thought they were muslims.

Germans have a history in this regard. But it is just a few, and hopefully the government will track them down and punish them. I lived in Germany in the erly 70s, and at that time, I knew of no incidents of “white supremists” but I imagine there were a few.

On the whole, this is true of almost all countries. Even supposedly "safe" countries like New Zealand and Singapore have their rough sides.

I spent last summer in Dresden, the capitol of Saxony, and saw no evidence of a racist underground. Everyone I talked with seemed normal enough, and without exception, all were ashamed of the Nazi period.

In Dresden I went to language school with Indians, Arabs, Poles, Russians, Japanese, etc. etc. and no one that I knew ever complained of any discrimination or racism of any kind directed at them.

Neo-nazis in Germany have the same (or worse) reputation that they have in the states, i.e. low class hateful losers with too much time on their hands. Every country has a few such people...
