AUSTRALIA IS SAFE FOR STUDENTS

Is Australia still a safe place for Indian Students? 1. While I was in university I was driving cab to support myself, one night I picked 4 passengers, 2 men and 2 women between age 65-75, so gentleman on front seat asked from where I am and I replied "India", his response "Oh!

Sachin Tendulkar: If we Indians are respected in Australia then it was because of this man, India and Australia match and Australians used to come and watch just him. 3.
