Vindaloo Against Violence

Don’t worry.  This is still a food blog,not a political soapbox.

I couldn’t ignore this event and cause though,and urge you not too either.

I am not a fan of any violence,certainly not racially motivated violence,so the reportage of the assaults that Indians have suffered has disturbed me.  Whilst I am not about to debate if the assaults that have been occurring with alarming frequency across our city are indeed racially motivated,that is how it is being reported globally and it is threatening people’s sense of security and safety in the place they have chosen as their home,Melbourne.

Here is a way to have a voice through something Melbourne does best (food) and let the Indian (and wider) community here and abroad,and the media,know that we aren’t all racist.

I commend Mia Northrop for her initiative and invite you to click on the banner,read about it and spread the word.

You can also follow the cause on Twitter and help spread the word @vagainstv

Go on.
