I am a frequest traveller from India to Ireland via Paris/UK and have noticed a lot of times that the security guys / visa officers treat us (Indians - brown skin) as shit. Sometimes I hate to be a Indian and feel very insulted. This is not only during travelling but I feel the same when I am at work or shopping in Dublin (Irelands capital). The people here treats us the way you are never used too and you surely feel bad and out of the crowd. The blame also goes to our own people with cheap behaviour which keep these Europeans away from us. Specially people who come from small villages in India. Friends, we need to upgrade ourself to meet their standards. We cant be always Indian who are 100 years behind US.
Hope the reader takes this message positively. Any ways, I am proud to be an Indian but not proud of few Indian people with their cheap behaviours. Dont know, how they managed to come here.
Make India proud of what you do and let people respect us. We Indians can make things change. Respect every community & Religion. That is what Indian culture teach us. Hope this change in near future. I am coming back soon to India & hope will never be back to such countries. Jai Hind
As a business travellor, I have travelled quite a bit overseas and never had trouble except at Seoul where i was troubled for about 10mts as the passport stamped previous night at Bangkok was incorrect. after my clarification and call to the immigration from Calcutta thru Korean Air from my travel agent, they apologised, and let me proceed to Canada. Indians are disliked in many countries and are not welcome, be it ireland or australia or USA/Canada asa resident/student, earning an income. while we chose to go abroad, knowing risks and treatment that can be termed racial, it is best to travel only if it is a MUST. no one wishes to see you working in a Store/Petrol bunk or even in more dignified professions as a doctor or s/w engineer. You are not wanted and they couldn't care less about yr presence. Yes. You are a necessary part in W.Asian countries including Saudi, but are expected to follow local/airline rules and do yr homework before boarding a flight.
