The story of these people is a love-hate and happy-sad. Many of them dream of landing in dubai so that they can have a salary that will support the demands of their kith and relatives. Almost all of these people who move to gulf are of the kind who spend very profusely on social functions like marriages ,child birth, ceremonies etc and do so very regularly. Their life is defined by ther rapport with relatives and friends. Typically an average gulf goer who is impoverished has a dream of having a snug home equipped with home theater and other commercial goods etc , that provide the cushion as they expect to spend every weekend with their relatives watching their favourite movies and munching foreign chocolates and biscuits. Their only pre-occupation tends to be with relatives and friends. Inorder to support these expectations they loan out money and land in gulf through consultants. Some of them some how succeed in getting a job but some unable to bear the emotional expectations succumb to diseases. But even those who get a job, there tend to to use extremely unlawful modes of sending money back home like hawala networks, that has created a flourishing terror industry back home. They explain this by saying that their only pre-occupation is dispatching money back home and law and order is not their priority. This has created a deplorable condition involving terror groups.

Atlast some good news about Gulf countries in Indian media!!!. Iam working in a sofware company in Dubai and earning 3 lakhs INR per month (no incometax here!!). but I see only negative propaganda about gulf by indian media.

I wonder how come thousands of Indians are earning lakhs here but why this false news??. May be one or two companies/consultancies are cheaters but blaming the entire UAE/gulf is rediculous.

for hundred of ravi's to take birth in kerala and raise the state to new heights and save the gods own counrty from anti-development and regressive peoples who never ever have the history of providing decent life to the people. Kerala should competate with maharashtra and gujarat where investers are in que. It is time keralites should open their eyes and look around how other states are marching towards to prosperity and developments.
Jai Kerala

You call mallus mean b'coz they score the higher ranks, b'coz they get the higher pay, b'coz they are more intelligent. These doesn't mean mallus are mean, but it mean you are not fit enuf to compete with them. Go and get some brain and brawn b4 making such lame comments.

No one is jealous about mallu's growth. But they cheat every one. Except mallu they think that they are outsiders in a company and they make pool and remove the guy from the company.
