NEW DELHI: It's always been unkind to Africans but the way the city treated three African students at Rajiv Chowk Metro Station on Sunday evening showed how deep racial prejudice runs here. African people in the city say they face verbal and physical abuse with racial undertones daily. Some students TOI spoke to said they are not accepted like 'white' foreigners. And a member of Association of African Students in India made a sobering remark: "If they can attack their own (referring to people from the Northeast), they can obviously attack us".

AASI office bearer Oshobajo Emmanuel said, "An African girl was recently rescued from the Yamuna. They pushed her in after beating her. Her bones were broken and she was dying. Can such an attack be explained?"

Babaji Hanilu, a PhD scholar at DU's department of African Studies, said he faced discrimination upon landing in Delhi three years ago. "A man promised to rent me his house and took three months' advance rent. But when I came to stay, he turned me away and also made me run about for weeks to get back my money." Hanilu has learned only a few Hindi words in three years. "You can learn only if people show interest in you or want to mingle with you. I try to ignore them because I was told they are not educated. They don't travel and have no idea of how valuable it is to learn about other cultures."

AASI office bearers said their members are afraid to come on record about racial abuse. "The attack at Rajiv Chowk station is unfortunate. Last week, a similar incident happened in Malviya Nagar. I feel Indians hate dark skin. In the day they tolerate you but at night they can stone you," said Eugene, a student from Ghana, adding, "There are so many Indians in Ghana, but do we attack them like this?"

Zimbabwe national Carol said, "I have heard so much about discrimination against other Indian communities. How can we expect them to treat us like equals?"

Kavita Krishnan, secretary of All India Progressive Women's Association (AIPWA), said, "Women don't want lynch mobs. So many molestation cases have happened, in how many has a mob attacked? This is very dangerous. Don't do this in women's name. I am sure there is a racist or communal angle".

AAP MLA Somnath Bharti, who had controversially raided Africans living in Khirki Village early this year, tweeted on Monday: "Entire Delhi is suffering from some foreign nationals indulged in criminalities n illegalities but BJP and Congress r just playing politics (sic)".

"There can be no justification for this. The large number of African students who come here and the growing Indian community in Africa show that we need each other. This incident has sent a negative signal about India to African communities. I hope the culprits are found," said AS Yaruingam, head of the department of African Studies at DU.

arabs are also racist
There are Black Arabs my friend. They are treated with respect in Middle-east. FYI Arabs have some African blood in them. Which means we mixed with them unlike Hindus who don't even mix with fellow Dravidians who happen to be original inhabitants of India.

Even SC of India said that oldest settlers in India were Jarwas(migrants from Africa) of Andaman. We know how Hindus treats Blacks(habhees,siddis,etc) in India. Africans need to treat those Hindus in Africa the same. I know there are lot of racist Gujaratis and other Hindu baniyas living in africa and exploiting their countries.

The only reason why lot of Hindus are converting to Christianity is because most of the Missionaries are white. Everyone including whites know how the Hindus like to worship them. Even the popular movements like ISKON and OSHO are popular among Indians Hindus because white drug-addicts,homosexuals and pedophiles are drawn towards it.

you should read more about your country of origin.
 
They apparently misbehaved with a woman as per reports and that did not go down well with the locals . if these 3 students were Indians then people would be celebrating how 3 potential rapists were "taught a lesson"
 
Wish it was as simple as this. Wish all the Africans in Delhi were angels and didn't behave like thugs. Just recently a Supreme Court lawyer was stabbed in Delhi by a couple of these guys. I have had a personal experience with some these guys.

You are a Rajasthani. Even you are not the original inhabitant of this land.

Only Dravidian(mix of Australoids and Africans) and African tribes have the right to claim to be natives. If I apply your logic, then this isn't even your country. Your ancestors just occupied and ruthlessly killed the original dark-skinned Indians.

I never heard whites being roughed up for enjoying little girls and boys in India. Believe me there are lots of them in India.


Hindu racism too obvious.
