Has any player of Indian descent ever played AFL football?
With the racism issue involving the media & Indian nationals, my query is whether any Indian nationals or person of Indian descent have ever played AFL footy. Many other nationalities have adopted the game & played at the highest level.

So are you promoting the racism against Indians or against the racism against Indians in Australia?
What is the point of your transparently provocative question?

Someone mentioned Daniel Kerr. I think they are right in that he is of, or part, Indian descent.
People from that nation only seem to play cricket or hockey, not body contact sports.
There are many Indians in Australia & have been for generations. It’s a wonder some haven’t taken up the game at some level.
People with UK, Dutch, Irish, Croation, Serb, Lebanese, Greek, Italian readily adapt to our game. We’ve even had an American playing AFL. Also Chinese in WA. I’m sure there are other nations as well.
Quite surprising really that Indians are so little involved with Aussie Rules. I don’t even think they attend the game as spectators.
Some appear happy to criticise Australia, non stop, but appear reluctant to co-exist in harmony.

Cochise kicked a few goals from a half forward flank for Richmond in the early sixties.
