Asian workers
by Saiprasad on Apr 30, 2006 03:57 PM   Permalink

It is very sad. Now what will happen to other Indians working in Afghanistan? Is government waiting for Taliban to abduct and kill others as well? What has India done to Afghanistan other than giving aid? Immediately stop all aid given to that country. Build up opinion so strong that others are afraid to touch an Indian in any part of the world. We are not Americans to be hated, like they are. I wish people come out on roads like they did for Cartoon issue. They issue similar Fatwas. The real picture of people working in Gulf countries, Iraq or Afghanistan is not presented to the people who have never visited these places. Only fat foreign currency remittances are shown. Yes, Asians are paid better than what they would have got back home, in most cases. But Asians are paid half or less than that of what Europeans or Americans are paid for doing same job in these countries? How can you have different yardsticks based on race even in 21st century? Why Indian government is turning a blind eye to such discrimination in the name of race. At least give a independent opinion including such discrimination to people visiting any country for job.
