few months back I read a comment made by Foreign minister of Oman It goes like this "In UK even the Lords who are immensely rich wash their car by themselves on weekends..and in GCC even an average earning local will appoint 3 servants for that job"

Instead of crying "Indians are here Indians are there" try to learn and do the job by youself..

Doing the job and getting the job done...what if nobody does the job, how do you manage to get the job done? Arabs may get the job done, but that doesn't prove them that they are capable of doing such. Most of the people working for NASA are Indians, which proves them to be competent wherever they go. The point of the writer, AFAIK, is to challenge every Arab to use their talent, rather than relying on other people. I don't think the article is stupid...you just find it stupid because you are affected by it. If you go to O&G Industry here, most of the people working in high position are Indians. The reason Qataris are placed on that same level is because of the government's Qatarization program, but that doesn't mean that they know the job to be let alone. The writer happens to have an open mind, as he wants his fellowman to KNOW the job, rather than relying on "getting the job done" just to get the credit. Still, at the end of the day, we all know who really did the job.

It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!

Meaningful..

1. You will find Indians allover, which proves they are compitent enough and they are needed. No one is doing a charity to Indians by paying them. They work..

2.The article - I never supported it and stated that its ''stupid'' in my first post . Please note that its written by an arab and not an Indian.

3.Here in this article its an arab who have bad mouthed arabs.I have many civilized Qatari friends.

I have no comments on this article which is stupid..

Indian Moon mission launch was indeed a great achievemnt which many countries can only dream of..which is a fact.

Comparing countries like singapore and India ,, charan is like comparing Atlantic Ocean and Lake victoria.

all newspapers are handled by indians what do you expect other then writing rubbish about arabs? their big enemy are arabs and at the same time, their big place to atleast get a job is in arab country, very strange but true as stallion said u will work and work till u die. till india will become like Qatar maybe after 10000 years. as charanmafiriyal said india is a 3rd world contry , and it will remain the same.

have more qualifications but it’s just a matter of time, as this is the case in nations, it totally differ than this in the case of individuals, I mean more time is required to notice differences and rise up of nations, also notice the relativity laws, I mean Indian population is so high, so percentage of people who have to think there should be high too, or else it will be a big problem.

Hi all, well, productivity of a country doesn’t indicate how the same country is civilized, which I really think it matters the most.

hi all,

Read your comments. time is not so long, when world recognizes India and admires it. Some one said about china,

i have a word to say on that ..they are like birds in a golden cage.. and one day you will read in the same column Indian vehicle had launched an Arab satellite.

look at the people supporting the article and you will know that there are people who believe in such non-sense...

When I Was in the US a lot of non-US citizens used to say Americans are Lazy...and this and that...and I used to think "well if they are lazy then how come they the worlds supper economic power"?

thats when I realized it is not about working hard only...

I like to know, What method are you going to use to condemn this news article?

I believe it is called freedom of the press.

thats right Charan..

Indians are hard workers...and I respect them for that...but working hard is not enough to reach the top...

Look at China...they did not suffer like India in the early days yet they turned into an economic super power while India is still lagging behind...

So my advice to the ones celebrating this article:

work smart and capitalize on your strengthes.

oo really? thats nice...but we are not ashamed of our grandfathers' career (fishing and farming)...but if you are ashamed of what your fellows are doing back home (farming and fishing of course) then I feel petty for you...

be proud of yourself...and know this: if it were not for us "the factory owners" then people like you "the worker" would still be working in farms

Singapore became a Developed Nation without even having their own drinking water (They buy water from Malaysia & Indonesia)

India is still a Third World Country :)

Yep may be they are not exporting to the exetent to get noticed by GCC countries are also producing a lot of things here and many new Industries are being formed every day. It is migrants that help keep these Industries going. But even in the west what would they do without the migrants.

Arabs are more smart then u can imagine, i wonder such article of stupidity was allowed in a Qatari newspaper.

Qatar earns from oil and natural gas(largest producer of gas in the world). Arabs do not need to produce computer chips as the article suggests, they get it done through people. There is difference between getting the work done and doing the work. Indians do the work, Arabs get the work done as simple as that. Even after Qatar exhausts the Oil and Natural Gas reserves (which will not happen atleast for few more hundred years), it has all its huge investments abroad which can be used.

Such mocking article on the Arabs published in a local newspaper is surprising and is to be condemned.

HAHAHA ozgur...very good...

what they do now is smart..they invest and get returns on their money and they bring people like you to work for them.
