mir83 said No Indian Helps finally (Indian Mess) ...

The lack of oppurtunities within the home country compels the 80% lower income bracket of the 1 bn population pushes them to accept the harsh conditions....Justapose this to the plush western lifestyle enjoyed by most of the Indians working in Banks & all top notch companies ...... The Indians dont do anything for this plight All just want money and live under a false sense of superiority ..... That aggravates the helplessness.... And the western lifestyle in the Gulf is really outracious.... Esp the British community....

angelwings said explain please ...

I would like a further explaination of your last sentence... "Esp the British community...."
I'm not planning to criticize, but I think if you have to make a comment like that, you should emphasize the reason for that comment. After all this is a forum for discussion - not rhetoric.
