Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has reacted to racial attacks on Indian students in Australia by rejecting an honorary doctorate offered to him by a Brisbane university.

The Queensland University of Technology had offered the 66-year-old veteran a doctorate for his contribution to the world of entertainment and Mr. Bachchan earlier accepted the title.
In his blog he has written “I write to you with a heavy heart on a matter that has now reached extremely sensitive proportions.

I have been reading and watching through the media the most unfortunate and violent attacks on Indian students in Australia; some of them lying in a most critical condition in hospital. I have observed with utter dismay the anguish that these incidents have caused to the families of those who have become unfortunate victims.” he also said ” “I mean no disrespect to the Institution that honours me, but under the present circumstances, where citizens of my own country are subjected to such acts of inhuman horror, my conscience does not permit me to accept this decoration from a country that perpetrates such indignity to my fellow countrymen.”

Aamir Khan also reacts on this & said that “it was not merely because the victims were Indians. “I think any human being should not be attacked. I don’t think any human being’s dignity should be attacked in this manner.”
