One more racial attack in Bangalore T
he image of India's IT capital Bangalore as 'one of the most cosmopolitan cities' has taken yet another hit. Just two months after a 26-year-old engineering student was beaten up by a group of men who reportedly abused and then attacked him for not speaking Kannada, another alleged racial attack has been reported from the city. According to a report, former city police commissioner H.T. Sangliana's daughter, Rachel, was allegedly assaulted and racially abused by two women at a supermarket in the city. The 34-year-old was shopping in a supermarket when she objected to a couple trying to cut her off in the queue. The burqa-clad woman then started abusing Rachel in Urdu and then yelled at her saying she should "go back to China." The woman then started hitting her while the people in the supermarket just stood and stared, reported a local newspaper. Rachel reportedly called the police, but before they could arrive, another woman along with the first woman came and attacked Rachel. "They grabbed my hair and pulled out clumps of it, injuring my scalp," she told Mirror. The police said that they have reviewed the CCTV footage of the incident and are investigating the case. They said that the images of the women who attacked the victim were unclear since both were wearing burqas. Rachel posted about the incident on Facebook: Bangalore has been steadily gaining a shameful reputation with respect to citizens from the north-east. In 2012, there was a mass exodus of north-eastern students from the city, after an SMS threatening them began to be widely circulated.
