India: African students hospitalized

in roving mob attacks

African students living in northern India said they were targeted in racist attacks.
 

Story highlights

  • Hundreds of Indians attacked Africans living near New Delhi
  • Mobs formed after a vigil for a teenager who died of an alleged overdose

New Delhi (CNN)Africans living in northern India are locking themselves indoors in terror after a spate of mob attacks left several hospitalized.

Multiple attacks on Kenyan and Nigerian students have been reported this week in Greater Noida, 18 miles southeast of the capital New Delhi.
Nine Nigerians were attacked, including five who were wounded and two who were hospitalized with undisclosed injuries, said Abike Dabiri, Nigeria's special assistant on foreign affairs and diaspora.
 
 
Additionally, a Kenyan woman in her twenties was admitted to hospital Wednesday after she was attacked while getting out of a cab, according to Dharmendra Singh, a senior police superintendent in Noida.
The woman was released from hospital the same day.

Mob attacks

Police said the violence began over the weekend, following the death of a teenager in an alleged drug overdose. 
His family filed a police report against five local Nigerian men, who have since been detained on suspicion of drug peddling, abduction and murder, police said.
A postmortem, however, did not confirm the theory of a drug overdose and the men were later released.
Following their arrest, African students gathered to peacefully demonstrate for their release, said Ezeugo Nnamdi Lawrence, university coordinator with the Association of African Students in India (AASI).
On Monday, a counterprotest by Indians turned violent. Police officer Amir Dikshit said about 500 to 600 people attacked two students in a shopping mall in Noida.

What this case tells us that it is not just a unique situation in Guyana. Like Indians have a special racist gene that makes them feel justified in beating and killing black people just for fun.

Banna,

This is just as idiotic of a statement as the kind you always attack others of making. Like you tekking you cue from that racist Kean Gibson who pretty much made similar statements...by saying that its genetic and based on the caste system..just reading that book by the way. 

Here you are judging ALL Indians based on an isolated event, then extrapolating from that event, and now using that statement to justify a stereotypical view of Indians in Guyana.

India, from what I am reading has done a lot to provide scholarships and educational opportunities for many Africans, including Africans from Guyana...despite the fact that they were driven out and suffer racism at the hands of Africans in Africa today...remember the cannibal...Idi Amin???.

This might be over your head, and your tiny brain...si is a good ting you living in Britain...

...this makes you the CHIEF KNUCKLRHEAD...

The actions of the Indians beating Blacks must be condemned in no uncertain terms. It is quite disgraceful, they are claiming that these Africans sell drugs as an excuse to exhibit their unacceptable behaviour.

Not because Indians were mistreated in several African countries gives them the right to exert revenge.

This type of behaviour must be condemned and the 500 individuals involved arrested and jailed for a minimum of 10 years.

Blacks kill more Blacks than any other race. The Whites come next, how many millions of Blacks they killed since slavery, apartheid, the civil rights era and present day in the US. The Indians come in at the bottom of the pack. Blacks kill more Indians via robberies, bullisim etc.  Remember Idi Amin and how many Indians he killed.

But not to distract from the point. This incident is to be condemed, these incidents of intolerance must be condemed and I am happy see many of the Indians here, excluding Django and other PNC apoloists, condemning it.

Indians in the Ugandan capital Kampala are still frightened and shaken after Thursday's mob attack in which at least two Indians were killed and a Hindu temple attacked by a mob protesting the proposed expansion plan of an Indian sugar firm by cutting down a protected rainforest.

This looks like it came from an Indian News Source? So now we see the real reason for attacking the African Students. And the cycle continues. Maybe the Indian sugar firm should guh to Guyana. Ah hear nuff sugah estate closing dung.

India should concentrate on having a role in Eritrea, South Africa, Nigeria, North Africa and forget about the rest of Africa. 

Nigerians are being stigmatized and attacked in India. Nigerians are aware of this and in fact the movement to remove Gandhi statues is tied to what is happening to blacks in India.

Note that attacks arent confined to countries like Uganda which have a deserved reputation for hostility towards Indians.

You as usual with your racism.  You deserve Mr. T who also made a racist comment.

India has to concentrate on countries who have people that love Indian culture. That is why I have always advocated that India should have good relations with Afghanistan's Tajic population.

I can assure you that the vast number of Nigerians do NOT love Indian culture. They love their own, and like others, including Indians, are impacted by western culture.   Nigeria is THE pop culture power house of black Africa.

Ironically Ugandans might be more aware of Indian culture than are Nigerians.
