This is a shameful practice and I admit we have adopted this negative factor of Indian culture into our lives. At times my Lucknowi cousins have displayed hostility for or hatred for the dalit people who are one of the most oppressed people on earth. It has at times even moved to Pakistan. Why do we have different dishes for drivers cleaners and washermen. This rascism, adopted from India is slowly becoming ingrained in our culture. In Pakistan I have noticed a large divide between rich and poor and huge difference between the 2.
Anyone living in the gulf can clearly say that many garbage collectors are Indian other than the Pakistani ones mentioned in said article. Thats the Pakistani media, extremely cynical and always complaining, which is not a wrong. It helps society identify the problems it has locally. As a person from Lucknow I can safely say that Indian media is rarely or ever so objective and confrontative of social norms and liberal thought. You have one arundhati roy. We have many hussain haqqanis.The Saudi garbage collectors - Blogs - DAWN.COM
But why these Indian Muslim don't end up as garbage collectors in Saudia.

Most of the garbage in Saudi Arabia is collected and disposed of by Pakistani workers. When they are not Pakistani, they may be Bangladeshi, Indonesian, Filipino or from some other similarly unblessed nation whose destiny has not been driven by the discovery of oil.
