Almost everyone here has domestic help, including middle-class Indians (and they are the majority).

I was just reading a few hours ago in our daily newspaper the story of this domestic worker of Indian origin:

Gulfnews: Leaving behind happy memories and returning with a heavy heart

Of course, the story of her generous Emirati sponsor will go unmentioned. People are so ungrateful. I believe Allah (swt) gives people what they deserve.

You don't have to jump each time you hear the word Emirati, It's just the first country that comes to mind due to the number of Asians living there, and its not just about domestic workers the general attitude towards foriegners in the region makes alot of people hate them. I'm not an Indian construction worker or domestic help who has suffered abuse but I was just saying those who have suffered resent Gulf Arabs and not Iraqis and so on.

Much of the exploitation by Khaleejis of South Asians is facilitated by South Asian employment agencies and so on.

anyone who's been under the employ of a South Asian knows they'll milk you for every ounce of energy regardless of your ethnicity.

Here...I didn't deny South Asians treat fellow South Asians bad.


That News story is pretty bizarre, in England we don't get stories like 'Afghan Asylum Seeker happy with English people' or 'Black Man not racially attacked- very grateful to white people'.

"Even though I had to give a huge amount as dowry for my daughter's marriage, my son-in-law is also a nice person.

That's pretty messed up, dowry for daughters marriage?!?
