With so many Indians hopping...........................?

Question

With so many Indians hopping the next flight to Dubai (or U.A.E in general) to make their dreams happen...... ..life would turn out to be a shocker here. The common problem for youth in India is that they want to make too much money in too little a time.

They are willing to leave India on the first offer from any country of repute (or even without repute) without considering the pros and cons. As for the millions of U.A.E aspirants in India .........guys, hold on - do a self assessment based on the under mentioned facts:-

* Just don't multiply the AED salary by 13 and convert the same in to rupee earnings. That would be the first of the many mistakes are likely to make. The conversion if at all should be done for savings and not gross earnings.

* If you a married person, consider the cost of family accommodation in U.A.E and more importantly in Dubai. The minimum requirement of a one BHK (bedroom, hall, kitchen) flat would cost you a minimum of AED 4,000/- per month.

per month (not per annum, guys) any where in downtown Dubai. Add a minimum of 10-15% annual increments in rent. Don't expect the salaries to rise by even half that %.

* If you are smart enough to realize that you can look for apartments outside Dubai(Sharjah, Ajman, RAK) to save AED 1,000 - 1,500 per month in rent , please allow yourself three to fours hours for commutation every day(given the present traffic situation, which can only degrade with influx of millions of immigrants every year).Add that to a normal 10 hours day would mean you would end up spending around 14-15 hours a day on job......and you thought family life would be so much fun in Dubai.

* Be prepared to shell out AED 100/- for a routine check up at doctors in UAE. If you are lucky you will not fall ill, but god forbid if you do, then you will have a big hole in your pocket.

* If you aren't used to summers of north India and hail from places like Shimla, then you are in for a treat of your lifetime.

* If you aren't used to summers of north India and hail from places like Shimla, then you are in for a treat of your lifetime.

Temperatures can run up to 50 degrees on a normal sunny afternoon and such days are pretty regular. And did I mention the humidity levels of 95% ........I am sure I did.

* If you don't have children, you are lucky......because if you 2-3 children going to school...... add at least AED 12,000 (per annum per child) to the cost of living in U.A.E.

* You may think that petrol here is cheaper and so would be the taxies...... .try taking a cab from airport to your hotel ........the meter would touch AED 75-100/- before you will be able to make yourself comfortable in the Camry.

* You might have the fanciest of all cars available here, but when it comes to parking the same, you might regret buying one. Imagine roaming around the streets of Dubai for 1 hour just to find a parking space....... ....alas. ....even that's not free........ .don't forget to display your parking ticket .......else a fine awaits you.

Answer 1

I totally agree with you...i'm an indian who has been living in Abu Dhabi for my whole life, and i have witnessed many of my relatives and friends who've come over here searching for a job, rejecting good job offers in india, only to be disappointed and settle for worse jobs over here...People generally seem to have the notion that we are basking in luxury over here..what they don't realise is that while salaries are high, so are rents, schools and every other basic necessities...wht's more, you've to leave your family behind, and since you'll have to abstain from offending your extended family, you'll end up buying expensive gifts for them, which you can hardly afford...

Answer 2

Many Indians think anywhere outside India is heaven. Thus they try to migrate anywhere. Canada, USA, UK, Middle East, you name it.
I've been traveling to many countries and each country I visited, I always find Indians immigrants.
India is a great country. It has great culture, great people with great skills, but too many people live in. Too bad many people just leave the country in pursuit of "heaven". No one left to maintain and develop India.

Answer 3

I am rather surprised by your question and the points you have made therein.

If you compare the statistics of the UAE government, or, for that matter, any other government, the number of foreign nationals arriving in the Arabian Gulf region has actually dropped since the last five years. The only exception to this is Qatar which is witnessing a lot of infrastructural and other development and countries such as India are the main customers of its Liquified Natural Gas (LNG).

Admittedly there are Indian nationals who wish to make a living in the UAE but these, again if you check the UAE immigration statistics, come from the unskilled to semi-skilled labor category.

And, the current exchange rate is 1AED=11 INR....not 13, as you write.

There have been many reasons for the drop in Indian manpower exports to the GCC states- as they are collectively called.

These include the increase in number of Arabization programs undertaken by governments of the six GCC states- which I'm sure you know- means the policy of hiring nationals rather than foreign workers for higher paid and higher position jobs. Countries like Oman, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain have also reserved certain categories of jobs including taxi drivers, hotel crew and store assistants for their nationals, thus reducing the dependence upon foreign workers.

The second reason for the drop in Indian seeking jobs abroad is the boom in the Indian economy which has encompassed all sections of the society. Skilled and professional staff in India can expect to get as much, if not more, salaries than they would usually be paid in any GCC state. The attraction of working in the Gulf has waned for most Indians. IT staff however do go abroad, primarily to the US, Canada, EU etc for greener pastures and for higher education.

The post 9-11 backlash in the GCC states against non-Muslims, especially in Saudi Arabia where foreign nationals were targeted by Al Qaeda backed radicals has created a scare among Indians who are now reluctant to travel to Arab states.

The stronger Indian Rupee compared to the world currencies is another disadvantage for Indians seeking jobs abroad.

Policies of ethnic balancing- which means restrictions on how many citizens of any particular country will be allowed to enter every year- which are followed often discreetly by all GCC states have made visas for Indians scarce and hence, fewer Indians arrive in that region to work.

Unaware as you might me, most GCC governments are under pressure from Western countries to recruit more of their citizens. Paticularly EU, UK and US, where unemployment rates are soaring, taxation is at an all time high and the number of young people without work is phenomenal. Hence, GCC states, thanks to these Western lobbies, give priority to citizens of UK and other countries while hiring. They are now available at salaries that once would be paid to Indians.

Worldwide immigration patterns also indicate a drop in the number of Indian nationals seeking jobs abroad or leaving that country to become illegal migrants in Europe, Australia etc.

The upward swing in migration is shown nowadays by the Chinese and Filipino communities of Asia. Chinese, because the economic boom that China currently is witnessing has not touched all segments of its economies. Filipinos because the cost of living is phenomenally high in the Philippines as compared to the salaries.

Seeking jobs in the UAE merely for sex with foreign women, as suggested by another answerer is absurd by any yardstick of the wildest imagination. History is witness to the fact that there has never been any migration purely for sex and Indian citizens are now increasingly traveling abroad to Far East and Europe on holidays, due to higher disposible income and easier availability of visas. Hence, calling UAE as a brothel for frustrated Indian youth is ridiculous.

Answer 4

too many expats wish to live in the UAE in general no matter what their living conditions are .. i believe the labor department should do something .. the UAE citizens rate is decreasing monthly .. not even yearly !!


i personally say .. ENOUGH !! get rid of the extra useless expats please !!

you totally have a point there .. thank you !!

Answer 5

Darling, it is not so much about money, it is all about xxx.

You see that indians are the most sexually repressed people in the world and Dubai is for them a heaven for singles, with half naked blond, asian, western women all around and massage parlours, clubs etc. they just think now suddenly when mom is not holding their balls so thight they try for xx. Basically they are suffering from dominat female syndrome, and do not get intimate with women they love, as she is put to pedestal, and xxx is only for reproduction if the wife let him to touch as he do not know anything else than what he have seen on internet adult sites, he is rough and clumsy as he is used to sckk an fckk with his mates as that is ok in indian culture as it is not ok comfortable with girls when you are young due to segregation..

So it is repressions that driving indians to move out from home, even tough they keep on talking about they mum and dad all the time as they send most of the money to them as they are just childslaves kind of.
