This is not an isolated incident. Recent years have seen a **surge in assaults on Indians in foreign countries**, including:

3. **Lax law enforcement** – Many hate crimes go unpunished due to weak legal frameworks.

What Needs to Be Done?**  
1. **Stronger Diplomatic Pressure** – The Indian government must push foreign nations to ensure the safety of its citizens.  
2. **Stricter Hate Crime Laws** – Countries like Canada need to **crack down on racially motivated violence**.  
3. **Community Awareness** – Indian students abroad should be educated on safety measures and legal rights.
