cartoon scandal


I barely watch BBC world news.8th of this month I fall for a news in that channel about a cartoon (the cartoon given above) that criticises the Australian govt.That cartoon was published in an Indian magazine 'mail today'.It criticises the Autralian govt. stands in the attacks on Indian students.The news also drawn out the oppositions of 'acting prime minister'of Australia about that cartoon.
In the cartoon there is a man wearing a white mask and a badge of Victorian police force .The mask must represents the infamous racist group in America they attack black people Ku Klux Klan (KKK).There is also a dialog in the cartoon saying "We Are Yet To Ascertain The Nature Of The Crime". So the cartoon indirectly represents the Australian police as racist supporters.This may make the Australian govt unhappy.So the govt came with a pronouncement.
Anyhow I like this cartoon.While seeing that news I congrats the cartoonist from my mind.In the next day while I am reading the same news in malayalamanorama I come to know that the cartoonist was a malayali.His name is R Prasad.He can get an attention of the Australian govt. more than our prime minister can get in this case. Australian govt. neutral involvement may change because of this controversial cartoon.Moreover this cartoon will make sense to our oppositions in this case.

Australian universities also sought to reassure students and their families that Australia was a safe place to study.

attacks on them are wide spread and they are fearful to do anything.
