1.5 Million Indians are living in US
by MATHEMATICIAN on Mar 04, 2008 07:38 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

1.5 Million [15 lakhs] Indians are living in US. Even though the death of the student is very unfortunate and action must be taken immediately, we should not exaggerate it as a growing insecurity.

Imagine a city in India with 1.5 million people. Everyday at least 10 people die of murders and suicides and another 30 die in accidents. Comparatives, Indians in US are still safe so far!!!

Even in ragging incidents in India more students die every year.

US ape! your analogy not withstanding, student killings cant be ignored be it in india or abroad. See how heinously the crime was committed.

Remember all these are happening in a row and it is natural that people express concern and it is for the Gov should take this up with the US at an appropriate level.

Naturally it raises questions on the safety of indian students there but might not deter them from pursuing their courses there!

4 people in 3 months, dude.

How about the several dozens of people from Bihar etc killed in Mumbai in the last few months?

If 1.5 million US citizens were living and working in India, you could bet that you would see much higher numbers of them killed every month.
