Marwaris... Maharashtrians.... Tamils! This appeared in THE NEWS newspaper. How can Arabs do such a thing !!
Friends and foes

A couple of weeks back, I paid a visit to the land endowed with the wealth of oil. I was taken aback at how their thinking has changed with the profusion of wealth derived from the black gold.
The basic concept of being an Islamic state is rapidly fading away and is being replaced by a cosmopolitan way of living in the UAE. They emulate the West in every way. Pakistanis are now looked down upon, in each and every department. A handful of Pakistanis might be seen doing white-collar jobs while the majority have unskilled jobs. It does not mean that they are devoid of requisite skills and abilities, but the bias of our so-called Muslim brothers is irksome and worth condemning.
Local Arabs prefer recruiting Indians. The Indians holding executive positions detest Pakistanis and favour Marwaris, Maharashtrians, Tamils and other Indians. If your visit any restaurant, hotel or office, you will find these places swarming with them.
Pakistan, on the other hand, has always helped the Arabs whenever they have been in trouble. Their foes are our foes but our foes are their friends. We have been providing them military support and without our help, their state would have not been very different from that of Kuwait and Iraq.
