Iam an Indian living in Dubai for more than 4 years now. UAE is the best country in the world which actually suits the proverb which Indians usually say in INDIA but lacks...ie "UNITY IN DIVERSITY!!".
UAE is the only country where only 20% are actual citizens and 80% are from 130 countries of the world but still we are united!!!. Here the rules are strict, no one should tease women, gives best salary to an individual!, No income tax on the salary!!, No parking charges, Live with dignity!.
Sometimes I feel King rule is better than politics to develop a better nation!.

brother u will not say this if you have stayed here even for 1 week!. Their hospitality is amazing...They like indians very much and so they give very responsibility based jobs...
UAE country is not like: 1) They are not like the kannada people where they shout slogans for not screening Hindi movies in karnataka! 2) They are not like Shiv sena's people where they beat students who appear for exams in their state. 3) They are not like tamils who dont respect Hindi language eventhough it is our national language and viceversa the north indians make fun of southern people.
We are Indians only when it comes to watching cricket but we are not united in the least degree.
Dubai is the only city on earth which has developed 100times faster than any city of every think of!. It has tallest building in the world, the biggest luxury hotel ever made on earth is in dubai! and many more... most importanly you can earn 10 times faster than what u earn in India!.

Yes I agree that many had lose jobs in dubai who are in banking sectors ...etc. But Iam sure they would have already saved 70-80lakhs easily and which is sufficient to earn a luxurious life in India..

Yes what by taking loans,,,,,,,now all there property will be taken over,,,,,dubai best place of the world???? cnn or cnbc might have talked about it not more than once in a whole year,,,, cities are built by hardwork not by luxury you fool
Labours in Dubai are treated far better than Labour being treated in India by local contractors. Dubai has strict labour laws and therefore all the labours are safe. They are paid regularly as per UAE Labour Law and being regularly and thoroughly checked, verified by Local Labour Officers....Bribe, corruption is negligible in Dubai and this is treated as criminal offence.... Yes, if in Inflation, any employer shuts their the shutters the concerned labours have to go back to their motherland after cancelling their visa. But they are also paid one month salary in lieu of retrentchment as per UAE Labour Law before leaving the country.

Many articles have appeared in newspapers about how badly labourers are treated in dubai. there passports are taken by their employers when they land.
they cant switch jobs.
some labourers dont face problems, but some labourers face hell.

Regarding surrendering of passports to be illegal as per Indian law, it is funny that you expect UAE govt to uphold Indian law, when the Indian govt is pretty much unable to do the same in India. Jobs can't be changed because the employers sponser the work visa, so if the job changes visa automatically expires. Instead of blaming Dubai , you can do something to alleviate the condition of workers in India, which is much to speak of. Example : Many workers are shown as daily wagers so that PF for them is not submitted. Then the greatest thing is that govt officials, even judges embezzle PF funds. The fact remains that UAE is a better place to live and work which can be confirmed from the quantity and quality of migrants there : from labourer to engineers and doctors.........

they dont take passport from officials in higher hierarchies for refraining from going to other companies but for getting them elongated visa. In case of laborers they take it and ill-treat them. Most cases go un-noticed. More over its against law of INdia that citizen surrender passport to some foreign PRO(check the notes section in the last page). Its ILLEGAL

can anybody please tell me if people who are working companies like Kuwait and Muscat are also affected by this. Thanks for your help in advance.
Dear dont ashame your ownself by putting this shit. One make a choice of own destiny no body forces so stop playing around this and dont put this useless articels too. As there are many people employeed in Africa and they need this cheap labour so dont show yourself CHEAPLY.
It is too early to say that Dubai has gone in the docks. No doubt Dubai is in debt. But looking at this fast growth of Dubai, this debt will definately overcome. Hence nothing to panic. Keep faith in Almighty... Expatriates specially of workers category should be very careful while coming to Gulf. They should not believe the agents. They should get the confirmation from Emigration or from Indian Embassy about the recruiters and then enter GCC...

Why just Dubai? For New World Order to be established, all localised system has to go to dogs. It is a planned move.
"Dubai authorities built Dubai Dream with others money and indian sweat".They manipulated the entire process of nation building.When they prospered they started traeting indian labours as street Dogs.Dont they deserve this fall?

perfect. When discussing issues, we need to be objective and not bring personal aspects to the discussion.

Dubai has never treated Indians as street dogs... Dubai have strict labour laws and every labour problems are taken care of. Labours in Dubai are better treated than labours treated in India by Indian Contractors.
India is only country in the world where people can live as per their wish. We have all the possible things in the world, still facing lot of problems.A comman man in india is still struggling, all the expenses is increasing day by day.but comparing to expenses, the pay scale in india is very low.I have not seen or heard a person or politician who have spoken about increase in comman mans pay scale.only govt. employees pay scale is revised every year.India can only grow by increasing a comman mans pay scale.

"India is only country in the world where people can live as per their wish"
Could you please clarify what you meant by the above statement? Are you suggesting in every other country people can only live as per other people's wishes?

Nice feel good generalisation.
People can live the way they feel?? Don't think the women in villages would like to live spending most of their time fetching water. Don't think most the aam admi would like spending hours before the government servant and greasing his palm to make him do what he get paid for. Don't think many want to live in the slums of city, but have no option. Don't think many people want such kinds of delay in our justice system. Too many issues to gloss over to make the kind of statements you are making.

increase in pay scale should be an affect. It is important to clean underlying systems. Simply increasing pay scale will only lead to inflation and no effect on the standard of living.
