成熟的印裔澳大利亚人社区主要由1970年后来到澳大利亚的专业人士和他们在澳大利亚出生的孩子组成。他们来自印度受过教育的城市中产阶级，英语说得很流利，在澳大利亚做得很好。相比之下，主要在2001年后移民的印度学生更有可能来自农村背景。尽管他们可能拥有印度的学士学位，但他们的英语往往很差。许多人注册了烹饪和美发的职业课程，希望获得永久居留权，这一点通常是实现的。众所周知，他们中的一些人遭到了抢劫和暴力，往往是种族主义的，有些人已经死亡。这篇文章探讨了这段近代史，并利用了采访数据。它利用这一点概述了现有社区和不断增长的学生数量之间的一些差异，并描述了这两个群体为弥合这些差异所做的努力。
The established Indian Australian community mainly consists of people with professional occupations who came to Australia after 1970, and their Australian-born children. They come from the educated urban middle class in India, speak English fluently, and are doing well in Australia. In contrast, the wave of Indian students who arrived mainly after 2001 are more likely to come from rural backgrounds. Even though they may have bachelor degrees from India, they often have poor English. Many have enrolled in vocational courses in cookery and hairdressing in the hope, often realised, of gaining permanent residence. As is now well known a number of them have been subjected to robbery and violence, often racist, and some have died. This article explores this recent history and also draws on interview data. It uses this to outline some of the differences between the established community and the growing number of students, and to describe the efforts made by the two groups to bridge these differences.
