I understand from some of my friends working in the West Asian countries that the Arabs call the Indians (irrespective of religion) as "hindi maskeen" which roughly translates to "wretched Indians" !!!!!!

Muslims from the sub-continent are keeping very quiet about this Arab-racism. It is true that some handful of "Hindi" muslims have done well in the middle-east because they are muslims. But in the majority of cases, being muslim is not such a great advantage for them.
Arabs can be very rude, very exclusive and temperamental towards Indians. Their sexual and other abuse of maids from India, Sri Lanka and Philippines is now very widely known. In Saudi Arabia such sexual abuse is especially shocking because this country claims to be a "pure" Islamic state. In many parts of Europe rich Arabs are known for their sexual exploits. Makes you wonder why they have such double standars, one in their country, with their own women, and the opposite standard in other countries with other women. Last week, a Saudi Arab, with severe kidney-stone pain, told the Kolkotta hospital staff that "I do not want treatment from Indians" ! You could not be more blunt than that.
