Experience Australia: Reflections from the Indian Community
Today, Indian Community is one of the fastest growing communities in Australia. As on 2012, there were over 450, 000 people of Indian origin who call Australia home. India has also been identified as one of five key regional nations that are most important to Australia- with an ambitious plan laid to double two-way trade to USD 40 billion by 2015 (The Hindu, 2012). But, there is still a way to go- many issues to be solved and many challenges to be overcome in facilitating such long-term, mutually-beneficial relationship and 'people matters' in making such relationship a success.Through this almost a year-long research, we have tapped into the experiences of a variety of people of Indian origin living in Australia that include eminent scientists, social activists, medical professionals, policy makers, business men, academics and IT professionals while simultaneously gathering enormous amount of secondary data.Their range of responses from apprehension, to agony, to acclamation along with other factual data makes this report a repository of information and collection of sentiments. After all, it’s all about अनुभव – Experience Australia: Reflections from the Indian Community.
