Re: Indian Democracy!
hahaha.. completely untrue.
The vast majority, 80% of expatriates living in the Gulf are Hindus. There has never been an incident of the kind of mass bloodbaths minorities have to endure in Hindu dominated India.
As for this being an isolated incident and a blot on Indian democracy, you're either misstating things or unaware, but India has a history of periodic communal rioting (guess who got the worst of the attacks over the ages?), documented back to the middle ages.
Not untrue.
You are giving an example of Gulf countries expat population, without even attemting to know some basic facts.
So, let's dissect this myth called "population" of Indian expats in Gulf which is often used in someway to prove a point.
Firstly vast majority of them are just "workers" on a work-visa----
(1) NOT A CITIZEN.
(2) NOT a Human being who can even Voice their Opinion about their sufferrings
(3) NOT a Human being who can Vote (if at all their election exists)
(4) NOT a human being who can Purchase a land and be an Owner
The above is the biggest difference which makes Gulf expats completely different than population of various religious/linguistic/ethnic population we have in Indian subcontinent.
I would say that you should not look at USA or European/Canadian expats and compare them in the same line with Gulf expats.
The difference between these two is as clear as sky in Gulf, any expat living in Gulf and USA will agree with this.
Having said that you will wonder why then Gulf countries so called Sheikhs are so much interested in hiring workers from India, Nepal, Pakitsan Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
reason is simple, they have got temporary wealth of Oil money and want to convert it into real estate and infrastructure,
Where else you will get a worker who will work at a Salary of 600 Riyals (hardly 7000 I.Rs.) per month?
That too 12 hours a day shift.
As far as riots are concerned, who the hell will riot when they know that even NOT covering your wife's head with a headscarf will lead to arrest and deportation to your original country.
Is this the same thing in our country?
