Indian Students are returning to India from Aus.

Australian Govt admits that some of the attacks that Indians faced were 'Racial'.

Indian students aren't waiting. Several are packing their bags and heading home for good. That's despite incurring a loss ranging from Rs 12-20 lakh per student.

The primary reasons are lack of safe living conditions and absence of job security.

The cost of returning is high. On average, undergraduate courses cost AUD $20,000 to $30,000, or Rs 8 to 12 lakh for a year. For skill-based courses such as cookery, hair dressing, plumbing etc, the fees are around AUD $10,000-$20,000 a year. That works out to Rs 4 to 8 lakh per annum.

Housing rent bonds, insurance cover and living expenditure amount to another AUD $1000 to $1500 per month --- Rs 40,000 to 60,000 a month, between Rs 5 and Rs 7 lakh per year. "If a student does not complete the course, he loses both degree and money"
