A Hindu temple in Melbourne’s Boronia area was defaced with racist and abusive graffiti, including phrases like “go home” and “brown,” in a disturbing act of racial hatred. The Shri Swaminarayan temple, a symbol of peace and unity, was targeted alongside two nearby Asian restaurants, sparking fear and outrage in the local community. Authorities are investigating four similar incidents in Boronia and Bayswater. Makarand Bhagwat of the Hindu Council of Australia condemned the attack as a violation of faith and culture. Victoria’s Premier Jacinta Allen also denounced the vandalism, calling it a “well-planned racial attack” intended to spread fear and division. The incident highlights growing concerns over anti-Hindu sentiment and racial intolerance in Australia.
