Indian students' deaths in the US – the community wants answers
BBC ^ | April 27 | BBC

Posted on 04/26/2024 11:07:28 PM PDT by RandFan

Dejected. That's how Jey Sushil, a student at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri, says he feels.

Mr Sushil is still shaken by the death in February of fellow student Amarnath Ghosh, a 34-year-old classical dancer from India. Local police are investigating it as a homicide case.

Mr Sushil says he found out about Ghosh's death through a friend in India before receiving any information from his university.

"They told us after two days. Students are not very happy with the overall response. It's like, who cares about how Indians feel?"

Ghosh was fatally shot off campus in a city street. The university clarified that it communicates a student's death only after law enforcement confirms the identity, a process that takes time, and with consent from the student's next of kin.

Calling it a "horrible tragedy", the VC of Marketing and Communications at Washington University in St. Louis, Julie Flory said, "We shared this sad news with members of our community as soon as we could and according to the wishes of Amarnath's closest contacts."

The St. Louis Police Department said it "takes 48 hours to establish identity" of the deceased and "in many cases, much longer".

Ghosh is among the 11 Indian or Indian-origin students who have died in the US so far this year, sparking fears about personal safety within the community.

The causes of death have varied, from hypothermia to suicide to shooting. Experts say there is no discernible link between these unrelated incidents. As each tragedy echoes through campuses, students carry on with their daily routines, balancing fears amid academic demands.

"We avoid going out after dark. We have identified places in the city that are unsafe in the evenings. What else can we do?" Mr Sushil asks.

“Ghosh is among the 11 Indian or Indian-origin students who have died in the US so far this year, sparking fears about personal safety within the community.

I guess when a serial killer takes the time to make his killings look like hypothermia and suicide, his death toll would be on the low end of about 1 per month. Plus all that travel time roaming across the country looking for Indian students.

I think we have too many Indians for the desired appetite of Indians’ deaths.

Freaks, crime happens and the stupid hypothermia Indian, well, wear a coat or stay warm.

I just had surgery. My anesthesiologist was an Indian, born here. Have known several people from India, all highly intelligent.

They all wear coats when it’s cold out.

I’m Left Handed. So, if a Left Handed person freezes to death in Alaska (or Hawaii for that matter) someone should notify me?

That was Indians. The Indian government insisted on giving Union Carbide no managerial control over the plant. When that blew up in their faces, the Indian government naturally blamed Union Carbide. Those shackles and other road blocks for foreign investors are why so many have avoided India until the recent tensions with China, in spite of India’s rock bottom wages. Pakistan was a better investment destination (!).

A stupid article centered around Indians trying to black themselves up. Eleven deaths and nothing to in any way manner shape or form to link them. What a stupid reach.

These Asian Indians need to learn what every American has already learned at birth, stay far away from democrats.

And if you value your life, specifically stay far away from the primitive savage Pygmy cannibals in the democrat ghettos.

The safest places to live in the USA is in conservative Republican communities.

The most dangerous places to live is in democrat plantations. /spit

It is beyond that; when foreign students are exposed to readily available drugs/plentiful alcohol around colleges, they don’t really know what they are getting into.

True, most people don’t know that side of the story. But it doesn’t fit the agenda.

Indians are a target for house robberies, because they tend to keep a lot of cash in the house.
