Melbourne’s Swaminarayan Temple and two Asian-run restaurants were defaced with hate graffiti just a day after Indian student Charanpreet Singh was brutally attacked in Adelaide. The temple bore the slur “Go home brown c***” in red paint. “To have it targeted in this way feels like an attack on our identity,” said Makrand Bhagwat of the Hindu Council. Premier Jacinta Allan called it a “deliberate act of hate… designed to intimidate.” Singh, 23, was left unconscious and hospitalised with brain trauma after being punched repeatedly. Irish police are also probing a suspected hate crime against an Indian man in Dublin. (PC: HT)
