Australians are being urged to eat Indian food in a campaign dubbed "Vindaloo Against Violence".
It is aimed at showing their opposition to dozens of attacks on Indian students.
Melbourne woman Mia Northrop, who organised the campaign, says she is encouraging people all over Australia to take part in the unusual protest on February 24.
She says the idea is that people just go to their local Indian restaurant and dine on Indian food as a way of embracing the Indian community.
The attacks over the past 18 months, including a fatal stabbing of a 21-year-old Indian graduate this month, have strained ties with India and hurt Australia's lucrative foreign student market, its third largest export earner.
