The Embassy of India in Ireland has reached out to the Irish authorities and the civil society after an Indian citizen was viciously assaulted by right-wing gangs in Dublin over the weekend, Ambassador of India Akhilesh Mishra advised The Hindu on Monday (July 21, 2025).
“The horrible attack has naturally caused widespread concern and fear in the local Indian community. Embassy is in touch with the victim, the larger community and has taken up the matter with various Irish authorities,” Ambassador Mishra mentioned over the cellphone from Dublin informing that the male sufferer, an worker of Amazon, is receiving medical consideration.
The sufferer, in his forties, had arrived in Ireland solely per week in the past, sources advised The Hindu, informing that the assaults in opposition to Indians and folks of color from different Asian and African nations are on the rise in Ireland. “Ireland was not unsafe earlier, but over the past three years, the situation has dramatically changed because of the rise of violent racist gangs that target foreigners,” a diplomatic supply mentioned.
Ireland has round one lakh Indians who’re a part of the high-income section of the Irish financial system. Ireland has historically been recognized for its tolerance and championing of justice globally. However, the current spurt in racist assaults in opposition to foreigners has drawn consideration from the expat Indian group, a lot of whom expressed shock on-line over the brutal assault on the Indian man throughout the weekend.
