However, it is perfectly OK for these German savages to act in such an uncivilized and sub-human manner ?
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..
National socialists are “right-wing” now?
I hope they are not profiling people with shaved heads and wearing leather. That wouldn’t be nice
The worrisome factor is not the 50 people attacking. What other reports state is that the rest of the village crowd was cheering on the neo-Nazis.
Gosh and by golly, I need to remember how India and Pakistan became two countries after a long and peaceful time of being taught the English language.
You sound like you are attacking people who have not even commented yet. What do you think we are? Of course this is unforgivable. I do not get your hostility towards people not yet identified. Sheesh!
Not one arrest made yet, IIRC.

It is not a scene that residents of the small town in the eastern German state of Saxony like to look back at.
A mob of around 50 young Germans chased a group of eight Indians across the main square, forcing them to take shelter in a pizzeria owned by one of their countrymen.
When the pursuers reached the restaurant, they kicked on the doors and vandalised the owner’s car.
The violence came during a festival in the town of 5,000 Saturday evening, which took a dramatic turn, resulting in injuries to the eight Indians.
Witnesses said some of the mob chanted Nazi slogans with onlookers staring impassively as the gang set about their victims.
The mood in the town was muted Monday.
Locals avoided journalists who had come to learn at first hand what happened in Muegeln, 45 km east of Leipzig and 50 km west of Dresden, Saxony’s two largest cities.
Mayor Gotthard Deuse of the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP) sought to play down the xenophobic motives of the attack.
‘There is no right-wing scene here,’ he said. If the incident had a racially motivated background, then the assailants must have come from neighbouring areas, he added.
One of the victims, Govinda, said he had never encountered any racial hostility before in Muegeln. The 26-year-old’s friend, Kulvir Singh, said that he, too, had not been harassed in the five months he had lived there.
Now their faces are bruised and swollen and they are covered with cuts from flying glass.
Some locals said that right-wing radicals had announced in advance they planned to come to the festival, an indication that trouble was to be expected.
Mayor Deuse was quoted in the Leipziger Volkszeitung newspaper as saying that he had received a tip-off from the local youth club and had alerted police to the potential danger.
Right-wing rock groups have staged concerts in the region around Muegeln and there is also a mail order business in the town specialising in right-wing music.
Police would not rule out the attack was racially motivated, but said they were pursuing various lines of inquiry.
‘The whole affair has gained momentum,’ said police spokeswoman Ilka Peter.
Police are now under enormous pressure to find the culprits after coming under criticism for keeping quiet about the incident for more than 20 hours.
Witnesses said it took around one hour for police to arrive on the scene after the violence erupted. About 70 officers eventually restored calm.
Two Germans aged 21 and 23 were detained after the attack, but later released. One of the injured Indians was still in hospital Monday.
Saxony is one of the states formerly part of communist East Germany, which have seen disproportionate rates of violence against foreigners since German reunification in 1990.
The belated police response was reminiscent of events in the neighbouring state of Saxony Anhalt where officers have come under fire for their handling of attacks by right-wing extremists on a group of actors in Halberstadt in June and a Vietnamese family in Burg earlier this month.
The last serious incident involving right-wingers in Saxony occurred in February when a group of about 20 skinheads broke up an anti-discrimination meeting in a cafe and injured two of the participants.
Local citizens groups claimed there was ‘a strategy of silence’ among the authorities when it came to right-wing tendencies in the state and appealed to the state government to stress the dangers emanating from right-wing extremism.
Saxony state premier Georg Milbradt, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats, said he would visit the town Monday evening for a first-hand look at the situation.
What the hell are you smoking? There's no anti-Indian crowd on FR.
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..
How do you know that?
Here’s a bit of irony for this situation: the folks who originally settled in India were known as “Aryans”.
i personally am ambivalent about India....which you must be too btw or you’d still be there and not here.
i notice you attack folks who say disparaging things about India using the same stereotyping and smearing that you claim you hate when folks do the same to India
just because you are here now, it’s not reasonable to expect folks here to see the world your way.
and to equivocate US and Indian culture....they are not relative or equivocal...granted India has improved but it’s still the third world and has acute cultural issues
but...there are things I like about India....the family, the respect for one’s heritage..
i dated an Indian girl in Whitehall back in the mid 80s.....her family were high caste and very racist...towards me as well. she could only marry an Indian and her family looked down on me...which I coulda cared less about since she was so yummy
given what folks like me know from having been there and knowing Indians and the culture what gives you the right to finger point and use the racist smear on us?
your culture is no different...and arguably much worse.
problem is any minority in the west today thinks they can play victim....even bourgeois Indian engineers
Hmmm, I find your comment very suspect.
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.
My only question is what do they mean by a ‘harmless jostle.’
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.
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!
What a crock of steaming ....! Indians have "lynched" MORE whites in the last 70 years than Americans have "lynched" blacks in our entire history.
Chasing people down happens all over the world.
Including chasing Indians copping a feel on the dance floor. This crap
used to go on all the time in Houston, and it turned the clubs
into a no-profit because of the jerk-off Indians grabbing women.
IMO, and according to the story, this is what happened since
something happened on the dance floor. If so, I have no pity.
