Indians angered by Australian Radio host's remarks

[Dalai Lama]

But the subject was the Indian town and from pictures i have seen, he is actually correct in what he said. He shouldn't have used the language he used though, was very rude.

The Ganges is a river.

He is nut case.. He is doing great disservice to australia.

Apart from defaming Other country's river for which people have faith and religious sentiments he is also maligning his own country's perceptions in the world.

Not really. It's just people who hysterically react to 1 comment from 1 person. If you base your opinion of another country off 1 guy, then you are pretty dense.

People are so quick to stereotype. 1 guy says something and then people say "oh the whole country thinks it"

It is not about the thinking of one people-- he is representing a organistaion and he is heard by millions.

If our PM says nasty things about australia.. will u take this as an opinion of one person ?

Well it is because people are forming a stereotype based on 1 persons comments.

he is representing a organization and he is heard by millions.

Organization? He is employed by a private radio station and his show isn't listened to by millions.

If our PM says nasty things about australia.. will u take this as an opinion of one person

Nope because it's the prime minister of a country. Are you seriously trying to put a prime minister and a radio shock jock into the same category of standing?

ofcourse stereotype would happen because the dissemination of information.. there are lots of other stuffs are done by aussies.. so this is not a shocker.

U need to understand the cultural difference we have.. we indians are kind of a emotional people and nothing is bad in that.

positive criticism is always welcome but when use such a ****** language to malign a river which is very much respected by indians then u are doing no good.

The organistaion (ofcourse the company) who is airing his views are also responsible.

and hows the PM has no right to talk BS about other country but a radio jockey has ??

Just as a matter of interest are you an aussie? where are your parents from

 

[aakash_2410]

Omg!

Such a petty thread is still hot. :/

First of all yes our the sacred river is really dirty that needs cleaning up so he said nothing wrong maybe the way he expressed his feelings wasn't appropriate and he shouldn't have called it a 'junkyard' but then again one silly Australian doesn't represent 22-23 million Australians.

India is a **** hole: Australian radio host

MELBOURNE: An Australian radio show host is facing criticism from the Indian community over his reportedly derogatory comments on India and Hinduism, in which he called river Ganga a 'junkyard'.
A Sydney-based Indian group is seeking an apology from the radio station following a report that host Kyle Sandilands made anti-India comments on his "Kyle and Jacky O" show. According to a report by a local ethnic TV programme 'Desi Kangaroos', Sandilands said "India is a **** hole" and went further to describe river Ganga as a 'junkyard'.
The Council of Indian Australians (CIA) lashed out on Sandilands for the "insulting" remarks, and has said it would take up the issue with Australia's media regulatory body if it was not amicably resolved.
"Sandilands made insulting comments against India and ridiculed River Ganges which is a sacred river in Hinduism. His ridicule involved some of the practices of the followers of Hinduism," CIA president Yadu Singh said in an official statement.
Singh said he found Kyle's comments "insensitive, insulting, hurtful and unwarranted" and that he was upset and angered by them.
"Indian Australian community is a peaceful and tolerant community... It does not attack any nation, national group or religious practices of any group. It is obviously not happy when others attack them or their belief system," he said.
The body has written to his radio station, demanding an apology from it and from Sandilands. It said it will pursue the matter and will seek a satisfactory resolution, failing which the matter will be pursued with Australian Communication & Media Authority (ACMA).
