Tourists furious because Saudi prince books three entire Maldive islands at a cost of £18MILLION

[A Town]

They rented three resorts on generous rates, so i think residents of Maldives who are not in greatest condition will be happy.

Well we will have to ask Maldivian people.
How would you feel if Pakistani government gave a large chunk of land to Arabs? It's about sovereignty and mutual respect.

Just ask the South Asians living in horrid conditions in the Gulf or the 450 Indians who died in Qatar.
By "us" I mean South Asians.

Then those South Asians shouldn't go to Arab countries for employment. Their countries are lacking in facilities required to provide them with a job though it is the responsibility of the state. I am not in the least justifying such acts but imagine all across the world people start identifying Indians as rapists and Pakistanis as terrorists (Pardon the usage). We are a terror struck country and yours have a rape epidemic to counter but that doesn't mean Indians look down upon women and we don't allow anyone to breathe does it??

Renting a resort =/= selling sovereignty

It's your country which brings religion into everything, so don't blame others for bringing it up.

Did your teacher give you that lesson last week?

In what way is that? Is it when we sign agreements with China? Or trade with the French? Or make a student-exchange program with Korea, or seek to develop stringer ties with Portugal?

Learn how to use critical thinking, and then we can talk about on who's shoulder should we shoulder this blame

Nothing wrong with booking entire resorts, isn't exactly unheard of. But the resorts should not have cancelled the bookings which were already made. Cancelling their booking is just not done, and they should have compensated the guests atleast, offered a discount or something for their next stay. But I guess which resort wouldn't want their resort to be fully booked for 1 month at a stretch, its like a windfall, so can't really blame the resort management either.

The extravagance is a bit a vulgar though, especially given that the so called "prince" is a 78 year old man.

See, I understand what you are saying but you can't say that Arab countries are lacking facilities. They are among the richest in the world, you see the big skyscrapers in the Gulf? They are built on South Asian blood. Whatever difference be among Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis I would still defend them against an outsider who teats us like dirt.

Thanks for clarifying that. So I gather as long as one is not God he can do anything! Remember we are talking about the vice custodian of the holy mosques here.

You might want to speak with Microsoft IT department, India to upgrade your e-cultural-barrier software in your brain then.

Oh no, I am not talking about Arab countries I am referring to our countries here. Its "we" who lack the facilities to provide for our people so that they don't have to seek work outside. Its the responsilbility of our respective states in which they have failed utterly and miserably.

No one said it is.

Then why the hell are you quoting me for? Do I look like a humanist to you?

So you would be okay if Pakistani government rented a large percentage of your land for someone's personal use?

Was that an attempt to be funny?
