Indian Student Deaths in the USA
Since the beginning of 2024, there has been a disturbing trend of Indian-origin students losing their lives in the United States. According to recent data, one Indian-origin student has tragically passed away on average every 8th or 9th day. This alarming statistic has raised concerns within the Indian community, both in the USA and abroad.
What makes this situation even more concerning is the lack of clarity surrounding the cause of these deaths. As of the time of this reporting, the cause of death for these students remains unknown. This uncertainty has only added to the grief and anxiety felt by their families and loved ones.
While the Indian diaspora grapples with these heartbreaking losses, questions have been raised about the response from the Indian government. Critics have pointed out that instead of actively addressing this issue and seeking accountability from the US authorities, the Indian ruling party has been preoccupied with other matters. One notable example is the focus on creating “Laser Eyes Edits” of Dr. S. Jaishankar, the Indian Minister of External Affairs, on social media platforms.
This diversion of attention has left many feeling frustrated and disappointed, especially as the NRI/PIO civil society continues to demand answers and action. The lack of meaningful engagement from both the Indian and US governments has only served to deepen the sense of unease and insecurity within the Indian community in the USA.
It is crucial for both governments to prioritize the safety and well-being of Indian students studying abroad. This includes conducting thorough investigations into these tragic deaths and implementing measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. The Indian government, in particular, must take a proactive stance in advocating for the rights and protection of its citizens overseas.
As we mourn the loss of these bright young minds, let us also remember to hold those in power accountable and push for meaningful change. The lives of these students were cut short far too soon, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that such tragedies are not repeated.
