Avoid Indian languages in public places: NRIs in US urged

NRIs in US are planning to take several steps to avoid hate attacks in the future.

Do not get into argument with others at public places
Should someone be provoking you, avoid confronting and please leave the place immediately.
As much as we love talking in our mother tongue, it can often be misconstrued. Please see if you can communicate in English in public places.
Isolated places can often be targets. Please avoid going or staying single.
In emergency situations, please do not hesitate to call 911. Officers can come and help in such situations.
