“…On similar parameters, foreigners from African nations often experience racial discrimination and xenophobic attacks in India (Adibe 2017). There have been multiple accounts reported in the media where mobs of attackers purposely attacked Nigerian, Sudanese students because of their black colour (Mishra 2020;Prabhu 2017).…”

Safety in the destination country is the key determining factor that shapes the travel decisions of potential tourists. India, with its cultural heritage, has been a preferred destination for foreign tourists. However, emerging political polarisation and a rise in human rights violations have raised concerns over the safety of foreigners visiting India. Recently, an increase in instances of attacks on foreign tourists has been reported in India. Such attacks have become a major concern for international travellers, bloggers, media, agencies working with refugees and migrants, and experts in the tourism industry. Despite being a widely discussed topic across news platforms, foreigner safety and underlying political situations have been scarcely discussed in literature. To address this gap, we have reviewed reports from different government agencies, international media, and non-profit organisations. This study presented a situational analysis of inbound tourism and the political scenario shaping its future in India. We found that growing political polarisation and nationalist movements have led to gender, religion, and racial violence against foreigners. Multiple layers of social exclusion, discrimination, and pro-nationalist sentiments have been discussed. The combined effect of these issues is detrimental to foreigners safety and the overall inbound tourism industry in India.

“…This perpetuation is visible in the traditional hierarchy of the caste system that has been prevalent for a prolonged period. Adibe (2017) mentions that there are numerous tribes in India that lack harmony and oneness with each other. According to the author, Xenophobia is 'part and parcel of the Indian social structure' hence the increase of Afrophobic attacks in the country.…”

The study explores the psychosocial issues of international students studying in Kerala, and the impact of perceived racism on their mental well-being and academic motivation. Male and female international students (N=32) studying various disciplines under the universities in Kerala were selected for the study through convenience sampling. 10 participants were selected through purposive sampling from the sample population of 32 for a telephonic interview. Content analysis was used for discerning their responses. They reportedlack of inclusion in the classroom, concerns regarding language barriers, academic demotivation, discrimination, and dissatisfaction. Questionnaires were distributed to all the 32participants to measure their perceived racism, academic motivation and mental health.Correlation and t-test were used for statistical analysis. Perceived racism was found to have significant relationships with multiple aspects of mental health and academic motivation, indicating a negative impact on the latter aspects. Being one of the earliest studies concerning the well-being of international students in Kerala, this study highlights the need for further research in the area to better comprehend the problems and resolve them

“…This mirrors a broader research and international policy disinterest in South-South migration and its role in the development of countries of origin and destination in the global South (Fiddian-Qasmiyeh, 2020). At the same time, evidence of intensifying xenophobic sentiment in the global South is beginning to accumulate in disparate settings including in India (Adibe 2017;Ramachandran, 2019), Singapore (Gomes, 2014;Yang, 2018), the Gulf (Ullah et al, 2020), Latin America and the Caribbean (Gill and Danns, 2018;Meseguer and Kemmerling, 2018;Jones, 2020), and a number of West and Southern African countries (Akinola, 2018;Miran-Guyon, 2016;Campbell and Crush, 2015;Crush and Pendleton, 2007;Whitaker, 2015). One extremely common xenophobic trope associates migrants with threats to the health of citizens by bringing disease and using up scarce health resources.…”
