Dude I will do the maths for you:
My maid comes in the evening for 1 hour. She washes my clothes twice/thrice a week , prepares food for a single time and cleans my 1bhk apartment. I pay her 800 bucks. Now if she does the same for lets say 5-8 houses and each pays her in tune of 800 then its easily above 5k and all this by just spending 7-8 hrs of work. In whatever time remains she can be indulged in other activities. Also these get hired for a evening in marriages and parties where they get paid in tune of 1k or above for a evening. Now you can see why being a maid in gurgaon isnt a bad option.
The rates you mentioned and working tactics you mentioned,similar in Bangladesh.Besides,some maids have side businesses thanks to micro-credit.
In posh areas,the rates can become as much as double of what you mentioned there.
As for the topic:
I will not say that there isn't a single illegal Bangladeshi in India,
but they are certainly not in the number that Indians claim.
Poor people looks for jobs in a country whose condition is slightly better than their own.I agree with that.
And at the same time I should mention about the press release from Bangladesh Govt. last year,that over 5 lakh Indians entered Bangladesh legally but did not return to their country.The news was discussed many time in the past right here,so not bothering to post the link.
And most importantly,there is solid proof,i.e. the passports.I did not even mention about illegal entering of Indians through the border.Because you will not believe it anyway.
Indians in Bangladesh works mainly as rickshaw pullers,barbers (a large number),runs small shops and in the garments industry.
Why does Indians come to BD?which is a less developed country?
Because BD certainly is more develoved than India's NE states.I don't see any other reason.
Poor people will move around to meet their needs,that has been the norm for years and that is natural.Though I do not support it,because it has safety issues.
Many Indians related the BDs with terrorism,
well then listen to our concern now.Every year at a certain time a major unrest occurs in the garments industry of BD.
Every time investigators concludes that "Foreign hand" was behind it.With so many illegal Indian immigrants and India being our competitor in RMG,even a child can figure out where the threat lies.
Coming to BDR getting bribe issue:
Some Indian members mentioned it,and I won't disagree again.
But have you wondered,how come we are still able to get beef from India,despite all the killings?
That is because your BSF is also equally as corrupt.
All those shooting occurs when they don't get their desired
"Bakhshish" from the cattle traders.
Same goes for all those "illegal immigrant" you keep barking about.Give money and keep the guns silent.Its an old game.But looks like some are totally ignorant about it.
Illegal immigrants are everywhere,but in India,some rag-tag extremist party unleashed their propaganda,and suddenly it became a concern for everyone.
And one more point:
How do you differentiate between a Bangladeshi person living near Indian border from an Indian person living near Bangladeshi border?
Given that their religion is same.either muslim or hindu.
1. Language?
2. food?
3. clothing?
From my experience of being in those bordering areas,all the answers are a big
NO.
One cannot differentiate between the two,and this is a fact.
If anyone deny this,then I suggest that person to visit the bordering areas.And find out yourself.
So when BSF pushes over "so called" illegal immigrants,how is BDR supposed to know they are not Indian citizens?
