Attacks on Indians Abroad Surge Sevenfold in Five Years

Many Indian people live and work in other countries.

A report from India's government shows that more of them are being attacked.

In 2021, there were 15 attacks on Indians abroad.

By 2025, that number had jumped to 104 attacks.

That is almost seven times more.

The report counts attacks in 36 different countries.

Most attacks happened in the United States, the UAE, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

Around 302 attacks were recorded over five years.

India's government shared these numbers at a meeting called the Rajya Sabha.

A minister named Kirti Vardhan Singh said keeping Indians abroad safe is India's most important priority.

He said Indian embassies watch for problems and ask other countries to investigate them.
