Sooraj, it doesnt depend whether you are a doc or not. What depends is you were humiliated. But tell me one thing- when all attacks are by a specific profile- that being brown skin, Muslim, looking from Mid-East or South Asia, what do you expect the security guys to do? If you are a policce officer incharge of a area and with limited force, where will you place your officers? In a high crime area or a low crime area? Come on, this race talk is non-sense. We are profiled because people looking us (unfortunately) do the damage! You are in US? May I ask you this- do you stay in a Hispanic area or a white/Indian/Japanese/Chinese area? What do you prefer? Does that mean you are racist too? Dont judge the countries. They do what they think is best for their citizens. Even then if we Indians go there, in 'humiliating' condtions, its we who need to look inwards ! Let's make India great so no one has to go out ! We know that wont be possible for next 25-30 years, and with this bunch may be never ! Sorry state, but truth

It is a good to see Dr. Haneef is finally heading home.
To me, all this looks like a racial war between Christianity and Islam across the world. If Dr. Haneef possessed a non-Muslim name, I bet he would have had a better experience in this ordeal.
It was nice on the Australian government's part to have abandoned the charges raised against him, but it was utterly opprobrious on the Australian government's part to not have his visa reinstated after Dr. Haneef was proved innocent in their own court of law. It was even much more shameful on the Australian government's part not to have tendered a basic apology to Dr. Haneef for the trauma that they have put him through, thanks to their own goof-ups. This has been a racist behavior on part of Australian government toward Indians whom they think are grabbing away their jobs and Muslims whom they think are terrorists. Go further down south, Australia!
I am neither Christian nor Muslim, but it hurts to see how badly people end up getting treated.

I am a Hindu - neither Christian nor Muslim, but I am not bottled up in my religion. I don't know the reason for racism around the world, but it does appear that it is out there everywhere. For that matter, racism is more in India than anywhere in the western world. How many of us have ever learned to treat Indians as Indians? We all talk about Tamilians, Keralites, Kashmiris, Brahmins, Bengalis, Biharis, and Marathis, don't we???

Well, I don't know about Chechan and stuff. Media in many parts of the world are all a hype, sorry if I don't have all the data, but I do think that Dr. Haneef was a victim of circumstances and he was not eligible to be considered a terrorist.
