Untitled Document

Aug 21: In the morning almost eight Indians were attacked in Muegeln, Germany by a mob of almost 50 young Germans at a fair at Saxony. This was a shocking incident for all including victims. During a festival fair a crowd of almost 50 Germans suddenly started shouting “go back foreigners” and started attacking the Indians in fury.

Initially they pursued Indian visitors and then chased them to attack into Pizzeria.

None came to the aid of the victims. Police in huge number was called to disperse the attacking the mob. One victim and one German have been admitted to the hospital.

One of the victims, Kulvir Singh told that he never had any problem in Muegeln earlier but today suddenly Germans started calling them as foreigners and attacked them.

German police sees the xenophobic motive behind the attack. Till yet no arrest has been done.

Mayor of Muegeln has denied that Indians were attacked by the local people of Muegeln.

According to one eyewitness, “they shouted ‘go back foreigners’. None did anything about it”.

Ministry of external affairs has said that complaint will be done to the German authorities by the Indian embassy in Berlin. Though till yet no action has been taken against anyone. Indian embassy in Berlin is the body which represents India in the country; this body only can communicate or register its concern over the safety of Indians in Germany.

Indian ambassador Meera Shanker has reacted to the attack and expressed concern for Indians in Germany.

The comments here are absolutely wrong. Go to India and there are attacks and rapes on foreigners every day. And now read below something from a person who knows the situation.

The fifty Germans chasing eight indians through the street is what the mainstream media and its copiers are saying. What actually happened was that eight Indians stabbed a German at a village festival, then moved into a tent, harassed the women, grabbed them at indecent parts as their boyfriends went in to protect. The Indians beat an old guy down as more Germans went in to protect the women. The Indians pulled knifes and were hurting more people. Until they were attacked. At that point they fled 50 yards to a Pizza station which one of the Indians owned. One of the Indians was a wanted man who got arrested (I believe on drug charges)

So that is basically what happened. The mainstream media is spinning it to a racial hatred story. Multiculturalism is practiced globalism. They try to destroy the coherence between people of the same race and same culture. A mass of soulless individuals is easier to handle than a people.

There are many Germans who are ashamed and sorry for what happened. And they also act. Some local folks from Muegeln (Saxony) launched a website abroad, to help prevent future Nazi mob attacks by applying economic and political pressure on their officials. Kind of… a global Safe Travel campaign for Nazi-infested towns in Germany. They ask you to kindly link to their website, to help prevent further attacks on foreigners:

It is not just east Germany. German politician "statt Inder Kinder"
German industry hires people from abroad when they are aware of German language and German work culture.
When Germans work in India they never learn local Indian language and Indian work culture.

there are around 40000 Indians living in Germany around 35000 can speak German and understand German work culture. There are around 5000 Germans living/working in India but only few of them are aware of Indian work culture and none of them understand Indian local languages.

They do say that they cannot learn all 27 Indian languages. The queston is we Indians go to Europe - which also has 38 languages. EU alone 25. We adopt to local market.

there are around 8 million foreigner living in Germany but still you will not find one person of foreign origin (Asian/African) in Top management of a DAX listed company.

The German Society is racist.
It's not only in the eastern part, the same thing can happen in the western part as well. Foreigner (Auslaender)is treated as 2nd class human being and most of the people look down to foreigner especially if the skin is dark. This is fact.
I lived there years and now what life as foreigner in Germany

The mentality of east German people is still sick.

Such kind of incidents were happening in the east-Berlin.

At many places of Germany, one can have bad experiences like - 'hating foreigners' - especially brwon skin.

These sick people don't know about - how freindly Indians are.
The people who know Indians, they have really close relations.

I hope the situation will change soon and India and Indians will be highly appreciated from all over the world.
