British Atrocities In Australia

Australia , which belonged to the native australian aborginals , was colonised by the Britishers , who slaughtered the aborginals indulging in mass murder and rapine.

Anthropologist Walter Roth asserted in 'The Bulletin' in 1880 about the situation in Queensland thus:

The blacks have been murdered by thousands ... there is ... wholesale massacre of human beings; a relentless violation of women. [i have] seen the brain of an infant dashed out against a tree after another had been murdered. This is not fiction but the statement of one who, not three years ago, saw in Queensland scrub the sunburned corpses of men and women and children who had been murdered by officers of 'justice' and left for the crows.

Much of the aborginals were exterminated by the British and driven from their lands.At the time of first European contact, it is estimated that a minimum of 315,000 and as many as 1 million people lived in Australia.

By the early 20th century the indigenous population had declined to between 50,000 and 90,000. :burn: :eek:

Even now the aborginals are poverty stricken, uneducated, and most of them are in prison, with very low life expectancy compared to the whites.

Aborginal music is world famous, and the Indian enlightened master Sri Sri Ravi Shankar , during a visit to Australia was deeply touched to the heart by their music.

Aborginal art and paintings are also thousands of years old and famous too.

Humiliated and oppressed in their own land, it is time the world pay attention to this noble people , before they too become extinct and relegated to the waste basket of history.
