India defies Gulf blockade with direct Qatar shipping route

[Śakra]

Of course we have to send food. As the embargo gets worse and food more scarce the first people to starve will be our own. They care little for our expats. Can you imagine the optics if India let Indians in Qatar starve to death in front of the World media? The victims' families would tear down the Modi government.

 

[Levina]

Because it refused to go up against Iran.

There's more to it than meets the eye.

Your people are literally treated as slaves in Qatar, granted, many of them aren't, but quite a few of them are. Your country couldn't give a toss.

Lets do a reality check (based on facts and statistics)

650,000 Indians send 4.2 Billion USD in remittance ($7000 per capita)
125,000 Pakistanis send 0.3 Billion USD in remittance ($2400 per capita) the samme league as Bangladesh ($2200 per capita)

Income standard of living will have similar trend,

Who is the real slave in Qatar ?

 

[Jugger]

Indians have better job prospects and are employed in higher positions as compared to people from other south asian countries.
India will provide humanitarian assistance to Qatar, and no embargo can stop it.
We have a very independent foreign policy, we dont bow down to any one.

can you tell me the difference in dealing between Indian and Pakistani Expat in Qatar? Is there a difference sets of law in term of dealing with Indians or Pakistanis ?What kind of special privileges Indian expats are deprived off as compared to Pakistanis ?Is there a different scale of salaries for Indian expats ? I mean on what basis you are saying like this ?
Qatar/ India trade amounts to 10bn in 2015-2016..No need to mention about peanuts with Pakistan here..
Qatar is soon going to launch a new airline or buy an existing one in India..Indians has better business sense unlike us they have precondition the LNG deal with investment in there country..

Indians earn more (in per capita terms, way ahead than Pakistanis / BDeshis) , Indians are at higher positions and enjoy better standard of living than most other expats in Qatar

I don't want to indulge in these things...Expats are expats this is very simple and Indians are more in number so logically they will hold more positions..

You are talking to brick wall:

Stop beating around the bush.
India is still controlled by Saudis on this particular issue.

Or perhaps India produces more Engineering, Medical and Management graduates than other South Asians combines may be 5-10 times the number-

A temporary & short-lived surge.

You did always make a come back with your Lulu comments ...country of 1.3 billion comparing with merely 188 million as to how many numbers of engineer they produced..How can somebody with 2 kids produce 10 engineers ? as compare to someone with 20 kids and produce 10 engineers..

Which is the reason why Indian grab better Jobs in other countries more than other South Asian countries- I would not go into availability of technical education, management institutes to Indians as compared with others in South Asia- I specifically mentioned rest of south Asia- Is the population of rest of the South Asia only 188 million ?

A temporary & short-lived surge.

Good will gesture in a time of calamity goes a long way in confidence building measures-

read again, i said better in per capita terms not overall numbers,

Average Indian earns way more then Pak/ BDeshis
Average Indian has better living standards

You can chek the same in various credible resources, people might have some reservations as their knowledge is limited to events around them, I am quoting statistically correct facts

These are actual export figures shipped against $ payment. What good will gesture?
The aid is never reflected in IMPEX trade.
