 TROUBLE
DOWn Under
It’s not smooth
sailing for Indian students in Australia, as was highlighted by a recent
protest against a university, writes Inderdeep
Thapar
The
recent agitation by students
of Central Queensland University (CQU) in Melbourne threw the spotlight
on several issues facing the Indian youth who head Down Under for higher
studies. The three-day fast by 122 students of CQU was finally called
off after the university agreed to give provisional enrolment to those
who had been protesting against the mercenary attitude of the
authorities. All the students had been told they had got supplementaries
and would have to redo the semester.

Are
you suffering from the
widespread always -late syndrome? No matter how hard you try, you fail
to be there on time. You are late whether it is the class lecture at 11

your house at least half an hour earlier.
