If this is this only experience you have had with indians’ ‘ghunda gardi’ in the gulf job market then you’re still in diaper in terms of your knowledge of indians’ control & authority over gulf. And this case which you have stated is not even 1% severe in the way indians control the recruiting process against non-indians. So, I would classify your experience with seeing a garbage/filth filled truck with filth from a distance of 10 meters.
There are several unregistered shady ‘recruitment agencies’ actively working in UAE for the recruitment of legal or illegal indians on different posts in well known local or private firms. There are spread across UAE with offices in residential or other buildings but there are no boards outsides these offices because these are supposed to be residential plazas so no one knows what’s going on inside the apartments. But since UAE intelligence is so busy robbing Pakistani households upon indian manipulation, they do not even have a clue about these unregistered indian companies.
Apart from these unlicensed, unregistered ‘recruitment agencies’ run by indians, indians also have a very very strong network in order to make sure every indian they come across is employed somewhere through mutual contacts between indians. Indian teachers / professors in different colleges & universities safely make & keep a list of all the indian students & as soon as they graduate, these teachers / professors place these student on good positions in different multinational, local & private companies. I have seen some non-indian people trying to get support from this strong indian network but guess what, despite the fact that these non-indians were much more talented, educated & better suitable for those jobs, their resumes were not even accepted to be forwarded.
Apart from that, I am witnessed to seeing (during the 90s) indian receptionists, front office staff in places like Arthur Andersen & the UAE offices of other international companies tearing up the CVs of non-indian staff & throw them in the trash box as soon as a ‘hopeful’ but non-indian candidates walked out of the office after submitting their CVs to them. They only like to keep & forward indian CVs because incase the senior recruiters are non-indian, they do not want them to have a choice. Incase the senior recrtuiter is indian himself, that is not much hassle as he would naturally ignore all the othe rnon-indian CVs.
Apart from that, I have seen many unregistered indian companies belonging to different fields such as advertising, interior desiging & many other. They are running their businesses in UAE earning millions of dhs but legally they have no status. There are some indian companies who are running 3/4 various different businesses under one license. 99% of theeir staff are indian nationals.
Oh there is so muc more that even a book on indian ‘ghunda gardi’ in the gulf job market wont be enough. They make sure they never let a ‘non-indian’ in & if there is any non-indian national working in such a place surrounded by indians, he is forced to pack his bags & leave due to the way indians turn the work environment & circumstances against him or he is fired by the mamagement due to highly-skilled brainwashing of the senior management of the company by indians against him. The non-indian could be an american, canadian, european, local or expat arab, pakistani, srilankan, bangladeshi, philipino, african or any non-indian nationality one can find on earth. They do not like to have a non-indian chaprasi. Actually, I am also witnessed to seeing some indians working on ‘chaprasi’ level being suddenly appointed to head departments of well-known local banks & their related institutions. No BS. And then these chaprasi level indians, as the head of their departments, enrolled more & more indians under them until the department started to look similar to a labour camp of UAE with 50 indians sitting in one small room. And they also easily get the illegal status of those indians changed to ‘government sponsored’ residence / employment visas.
At the same time, I must admit that although small in number, the ‘somalis’ in the UAE are engaged in similar practices as indians though at a smaller & limited scale.
But the above few incidents are from UAE alone. I know of some cases where this strong network of indians which is actively engaged in getting all the indians in their country employed overseas, got hold of very well settled Pakistanis in the west & seek their help in employing fellow ‘desis’. As we all know that for indians, Pakistanis become ‘desis’ when they need fevors from Pakistanis. Then we are no more ‘the terrorist Pakistanis’. For cases like these, indians have invented a term called ‘desis’. So, they approach well settled Pakistanis in the western countries with this desi sh!t tactic. Obviously, the poor, naiive, good natured Pakistanis, due to their natural humility, feel flattered & most incined to help a fellow ‘desi’.
One such case I know of where this indian network of recruiters successfully got several ‘desis’ employed in Canada through the help of one such humble Pakistani… er… ‘desi’… After sometime, they pressed him to get into some kind of contract with them to employ indians in canada. Upon knowing the details of that ‘contract’, he found out that upon signing, he would be obliged to sponsor & put in employment these indians illegally. I do not know the exact details of how that contract but luckily, unlike other stupid & naiive Pakistanis living in the west who blindly agree to do anything to ‘help’ indians… er… desis, he made an effort to read all the elements of that contract & there… He told them off declining to take part in any such illegal activity. He loves canada as the country has given him so much how could he agree to become a part of any such activities which go against the government rules just because some indians… er… ‘desis’ are pressurizing him for being a ‘fellow desi’? But I can only wish & pray that all the overseas Pakistanis drop their stupidity & naivety now that the entire Pakistani nation has sufferred so much at the hands of these ‘fellow desi’ hypocrites. They change their masks whenever suits them. The same ‘fellow desis’ become ‘terrorists’ whenever that is required & suits indian agenda. Pakistanis around the globe need to recognize these hypocrites who are no-one’s friends in reality.
What you have experienced is not even a drop in the arabian sea.
