The recent attack on three African students in the Delhi metro has again brought to the fore the racism latent in Indian society. 

The three students boarded the train at Chattarpur station. By the time they reached Rajiv Chowk, they noticed that some people were taking their photographs, and laughing at them. When they objected, they were attacked. 

One student, Yohan, was pushed and fell on the floor of the station, right where a police official was standing. The lone officer then took the students to a kiosk upstairs. They bolted the door from inside. 

Role reversal: Indians may scream 'racism' abroad but they see no problem in mistreating the black community or anyone who looks different, at home 

Outside, a frenzied mob was baying for their blood. The mob then smashed the glass façade and entered the booth. They started hitting the students with iron rods and sticks. 

Furniture was thrown on them. One student, Mapaga, who suffered a fractured hand, was bitten on his feet. The mob continued to punch and slap him, despite him bleeding profusely. They were also chanting nationalist slogans. 

A backward nation.

Obama's visit: India rejects US's no-fly zone over Rajpath demand

New Delhi, Jan 18, 2015, Agencies, Source - Deccan Herald

India has declined to impose no-fly zone around Rajrathpathi Bhavan as demanded by the US secret service as part of the safety arrangements ahead of President Barack Obama's visit.

Imposing no-fly zone over Rajrathpathi Bhavan would mean that there shall be no traditional fly past, one of the main draw of the Republic Day celebrations.

"In any case, only twin-engine military aircraft and helicopters fly during the Republic Day parade. The actual flypast duration over Rajpath is around 10 minutes. Otherwise, throughout the year there is a no-fly zone over Rashtrapati Bhavan, South and North Blocks, the PM's residence and other nearby places," an official was quoted as saying by Times of India.

Obama's India visit has led to a vast unprecedented security measures in New Delhi. In view of the US president's security, the US secret service may also change the tradition of the Republic Day chief guest travelling in the President of India’s limousine from Rashtrapati Bhavan down  Rajpath to the saluting base.
