The Story in Brief
The Ministry of External Affairs told Parliament on Thursday that the United States reported 33 attacks on Indian nationals between 2021 and 2025, the highest for any country. The UAE followed with 32 attacks, the UK with 31, Canada with 30, and Ireland with 24. The data was tabled in Rajya Sabha by minister of state Kirti Vardhan Singh.
Singh said Indian missions closely monitor such incidents and take them up with host country authorities to ensure proper investigation and punishment. The figures come amid reports of racist attacks against Indians in Ireland and rising concern over safety in Canada and the US.
The Indian Opinion
The numbers show attacks on Indians abroad are spread across many countries, not confined to one. Some narratives single out Canada due to recent diplomatic friction, but the data puts the US and UAE ahead. The real test is not just counting incidents but whether perpetrators are actually punished. That question is still unanswered in most host nations.
