These Saudis have grown a spine in recent years only because of their oil wealth.
6 or 7 decades back, these same Saudis used to beg India for money. No kidding! In 1934, India (including modern day India and Pakistan) was the largest financial donor to Nejd. During the World War 1, the British Indian Army fought in the Middle East so that these Arabs could be saved from the Ottomans. Even before that, spice trade with India was the biggest source of income for Arabs after the rise of Japanese pearl farming destroyed pearl industry in the Gulf.
We helped them when they were in need. And today, these Arabs have the audacity to treat South Asians this way. Never mind, when the oil runs out, they will start begging again.
