This entire issue of Indians being targetted for religiously sensitive posts in middle-eastern countries have few very important learnings for Indians. We would do well to learn from it and move on.
1. The middle-east is a religiously authoritative place. You can all hail the diplomacy of PM in middle-east but remember that when it comes to religious beliefs, each of the states in ME will compete with each other to prove their loyalty to Islam.
2. The Islamic Brotherhood-Muslim unity transcends every border and is actually globalised society, in true sense. They don't care about countries or borders when it comes to religion. India has generally been an exception here. However, it may be changing.
3. The ME Sultanates will never consider Indians as 'acceptables' let alone equals. While Indian Muslims have little more acceptability in ME, they are still considered lesser mortals than Arabs and other Muslims.
4. The non-Muslims Indians are the worst placed in Middle-east countries. And that brings me to the moot point- why the hell will you take on Islam or it's practices when you live in ME which is just an acceptable version of 'Islamic State (ISIS)'?
5. You know that there is NO concept of freedom of speech in Middle-east and they are absolutely fanatic about religion. Why would you risk all of this by putting up a post even remotely related to Islam?
6. And to the Indian Right Wingers, who tried to play pranks on the middle-eastern guys by changing locations, please note that your jokes WILL have consequences. Since these jokers cannot take on you, they will target the people who are working in Middle-east.
7. It was plain stupid on the part of RW, a clear example of "बैल बुद्धि" to infuriate the somewhat influential people from Middle-east. Fighting unnecessary battles and taking everything as a joke. The 'doctor' acted irresponsibly to the core.
8. That said, it is nothing short of disgraceful & disgusting to see third-grade Indians leftists, AAP & INC supporters to assist the ME guys in targeting the Indians working there. The targeting is shocking & will only cement the distrust other communities are starting to have.
9. The left has completely lost it. They are actively 'hunting' for Hindus working In middle-east and selling them out for posts which are not even remotely harmful. How do you justify this? Where does your loyalty lies? File an FIR in India if you wish, but to do this?
10. Blasphemy is NOT an offense in India and should never be. These individuals, howsoever stupid they are, are being charged for blasphemy in Middle-east for stupid comments against Tablighi Jamat. And Indian leftist are cheering that?
11. I do not intend this to happen and hope this never happens. But you are only making normal Indians angry and more apprehensive towards the entire Muslim community by these acts. Vernacular papers are covering these statements by these Middle-eastern 'wannabes'.
12. This, my request to every Hindu who is working in Dubai or wishes to go to any country abroad, please sanitise your social media feed. Be careful about expressing yourself and rather treat everyone you meet there with distrust. Times are changing.
13. Your ideological commitment is of NO value when it comes to statecraft. Do not expect Indian government to negotiate for you if you are jailed or sentenced to death. They will rather have the oil for the country than you. Do not be a burden on state by your stupidity.
14. Indian Muslims & leftists, who are vocal about freedom of speech and what not, have an active obligation now to condemn their fellow Muslims and leftists who are targeting Hindus in middle-east causing loss of likelihood, jail and in future, maybe death sentences.
15. And the Indian leftists who are going ahead with their 'crusade' against the Hindus in middle-east, Karma awaits you. Your quest to prove more loyal to Islam than the Arabs themselves and be servants to the desert masters is disgusting and dangerous.
16. Lastly and another important lesson to anyone who wishes to be in political or public life- think of long term. Do not post or do anything which may come back to haunt you later. It is the era of screenshots and mobile cameras. Be careful.
17. And to all of you, you are ON YOUR OWN. Earn for yourself, do dharma but do not risk your life and livelihood for parties, leaders or even ideologies till you have truly become, in terms of @kushal_mehra, unfuckable.
End of another rant. Thank you and apologies.
One genuine request. Block all the leftist fellows who are actively reporting Hindus to Dubai based dolts. Block the Dubai based dolts. Limit their reach. If you work in ME, make your accounts private. Ignore them and they will lose their relevance.
