The Swaminarayan Temple in Australia's Melbourne was defaced with racist graffiti reading 'Go Home brown c**t' written on it. Makrand Bhagwat, President of the Hindu Council of Australia, expressed shock and said, "Seeing it (temple) vandalised with hateful words was heartbreaking." Earlier, a few men assaulted an Indian man without any provocation and told him, "f--- off, Indian."
