**Indian Citizen Assaulted in Dublin Amid Rising Concerns of Racism**
**Dublin, Ireland – July 22, 2025** – The Indian Embassy in Ireland is engaging with Irish authorities and civil society groups following a violent assault on an Indian citizen in Dublin over the weekend. Ambassador of India Akhilesh Mishra confirmed to The Hindu that the victim, an Amazon employee in his forties who had recently arrived in Ireland, is receiving medical treatment.
The attack has sparked widespread concern within the Indian community, estimated at around one lakh individuals and a significant contributor to the Irish economy. Sources indicate a troubling increase in attacks targeting Indians and other people of color from Asian and African backgrounds in Ireland over the past three years.
“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 source told The Hindu.
The incident has shocked many within the expat Indian community, who have expressed their dismay online. Ireland has traditionally been regarded as a tolerant nation, but the recent surge in racist attacks is raising serious questions about the safety of foreign residents. The Indian Embassy is actively working to address the concerns and ensure the well-being of its citizens in Ireland.
