Ireland, once celebrated for its warmth and inclusivity, is grappling with a disturbing surge in hate crimes targeting its Indian community. Throughout 2025, a pattern of violent attacks has emerged across the country, from Dublin's streets to Waterford's neighbourhoods, leaving families terrified and questioning their future in what they once considered a land of opportunity.

The attacks have been systematic and brutal. In July, a 40-year-old Indian man was ambushed in Tallaght, Dublin, by a gang who stripped him of his trousers and left him bloodied on the street. The attackers falsely accused him of inappropriate behaviour around children, weaponising lies to justify their violence. Only the intervention of an Irish woman, Jennifer Murray, prevented further harm.

Dr Santosh Yadav, a respected senior data scientist, suffered a similar fate when six teenagers attacked him without provocation as he walked home from dinner. His glasses were shattered, his cheekbone fractured, and his dignity trampled. His crime? Being Indian.

Perhaps most heartbreaking is the case of six-year-old Nia Naveen, punched in the face by boys aged 12 to 14 whilst playing outside her Waterford home. They called her a "dirty Indian" and left her traumatised in her own front yard. Her mother's tearful television interview captured the anguish of a community under siege.

Indian man living in Dublin for two decades viciously assaulted and robbed on way to work The dad-of-two was travelling on his e-bike on his usual route to work when he was targeted by a gang of three males

An Indian man, who has lived in Dublin for 22 years, suffered a horrific assault and was robbed on his way to work this week.

Dad-of-two Laxman Das, a sous chef at the Anantara The Marker Dublin hotel, was travelling to work in the early hours of Wednesday morning on his e-bike when he was targeted by a gang of three males at Charlemont Place. After grabbing him off the bike, the gang were "relentless" and started beating him, causing his helmet to break.

He told Dublin Live that his phone, cash and electric bike were stolen during the horrific incident. The 51-year-old, who is an Irish citizen, was taken to St Vincent's Hospital following the assault and was discharged at approximately 9pm on Wednesday evening.

His legs, eye socket, shoulder and arm were injured in the incident. He is currently on sick leave as he recovers from the horrific ordeal.
