Four Indian students were injured after they were allegedly assaulted by a couple of teenagers in Melbourne. It was the second attack against Indians studying in Australia this month. The incident took place on Saturday night at a party. Two people gatecrashed the party and started thrashing the students. One of the four, an Andhra student Shravan was attacked with a screwdriver, which pierced his head. He is in a critical state. In a separate incident in Melbourne earlier this month, another Indian student was thrashed on a train by a group of men. That is not all... Australian police detained 18 Indian youths for "breaching peace" in Melbourne as thousands of students held a massive peace rally against recent attacks on their community, even as a fresh case of assault was reported on a taxi driver from Hyderabad. Thousands of students, shaken by a wave of racial assaults, including on 25-year-old Shravan Kumar who is battling for life in a local hospital, blocked the busiest street of the city, demanding justice. The protest, however, was called off early Monday morning after the protesters accused police of "ramrodding" them to break up their sit-in. The identities of the 18 detained were not yet known and it was also unclear whether they were still under detention. Speaking to the Parliament, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd termed the spate of attacks on Indians as 'deplorable' and gave an assurance that his government was working to bring those responsible to justice "as a matter of urgency".
