Dawood Ibrahim has many investments (not limited to just property) in Dubai, he seems to have done well there....i've been told he has connections with a few princes of the Nahyan family....i think even family of Sharjah

funny how the indian establishment always remains quiet on that aspect

 

[IbnAlwaled]

The same goes for Arabs too. Those who love Pakistan are our respected brothers & sisters, those who don't can rot in hell.

What about indifferent ones?
Where should they go

[Big Boss]

End of the day..arabs wants to do business and their teenager want to see thumkay of bollywood actresses!

Business as usual!

The same UAE, which was build by Pakistanis would call Pakistan its strategic ally if our governments concentrated on building the nation instead of looting its treasury!

When it comes to India its business as usual but if its about pakistan its seen as brotherhood and word of God.

[Big Boss]

Exactly..
He is about to invite Indian investment , he should begin by offering Indians more incentives to settle in the UAE.
Like complete ownership and stuff.

1. Indina are all over the world and invest8ing at every oppurtunity they gets.

2. But you got it all wrong he is here to invest in India not the otherwise.

The Indian poster who have replied to u have got all wrong. India will invest US$ 1 trillion in its infrastructure (Power, roads, railways, airports, sea ports).

But all of the US$ 1 trillion will not come from Indians its the inverter like UAE (diffrents companies/govt. of the world will invest in it.)

It's true brother, after having a talk with you about UAE citizenship I went through it. I told you why UAE shouldn't give citizenship to expat, it has a unique situation in which nationals are the minority.

 

[harpoon]

LOL do you know what privileges Emaratis have?
I would burn my Saudi passport the day they offer me citizenship.

Yes I have but even if they take the citizenship, they will use that privilages to build a big a** mansion in India, buy some property and live like a king there rather than in the desert of UAE.

 

[Dharmachakra]

Indian eyes are all on the Abu dhabi Investment fund which is holding ~850 billion dollars.And India needs massive investments of atleast trillion dollars for every 5 years to improve its infrastructure for the next 50 years.

It literally needs just 10 trillion alone to develop infrastructure alone to be able to provide all basic needs to its population by 2050.

One of the reasons being the continuous growth in populations that the projected will be 1.7 billion Indians living on the planet of the earth consuming as much as nearly 20% of the resources.

I seriously pray to god to improve the living prospects of Indians in terms of infrastructure , other wise it will be a disaster in the making.

The economists are right in some aspects about the growth of Indian economy. Today we have 400 million people living in poverty. New investments in the sector means new jobs created skilled or unskilled which thereby slashing the poverty number.If India can manage to bring atleast 100 million out of poverty every decade without putting new numbers in, By 2050 India can be a country free of poverty and atleast can be called an average income($50000 percapita PPP) country with an estimated $85 trillion economy. This is only possible if we continue to grow @ 8% on average for the next 40 years.

Inorder to achieve that the economic reforms are must.
GOI should be more pro-active instead of being corrupt.

Some new funds has to be created. New national health plan should be brought online in next 5 years. An Indian Pension Plan should be brought online.
Though this kinds sounds like socialism like taking from rich and spreading among poor, but its a right move considering the goals to be achieved.

1) Charge more taxes on high income individuals.
2) Charge every employed a 3% of tax on managing of national pension plan.
3) Every transaction from buying/selling chai at the street corner to buying/selling of a luxury item must be taxed.
4) Free health care to every citizen with registered health card.( except prescription and over the counter drugs)
5) Free education has to enforced across the nation
6) No child should not be allowed to work under age. Labour laws has to be enforced.
7) Once UADAI comes online registering will be made easy for employers.
8) Every remote town and village must get atleast one road connectivity to the nearby town.
9) every house in the country must get electricity supply.
10) Every house in the country must have a toilet.

Other laws like traffic and Anti-corruption, legal has to be enforced.

In the west if some one dragged to court under murder attempt or murder will have to pa atleast a million dollars in bail fee. while In india people arrested in rape, murder and scams get released on bail on a meagre 1lakh fee.

Since there are 3.26 crore pending cases in HC`s and SC in India, increase the bail fee since most of these get out with bails anyways and are always rich.

charge them 3 crore for murder case on bail until convicted.
1 crore for rape
1 crore for murder attempt
50 lakh for rape attempt,..... If convicted they will loose their bail money, if not and if they miss any of the court appearances during the trail process the bail money will be forfeited.
This way the Law and Order ministry will be able to make atleast 10,000 crore every year which can be further used to improve the infrastructure in courts, law houses, law schools,.....

Same has to be done with home ministry. The traffic tickets has to be increased. What the hell is that a 50Rs fine for not wearing a helmet?

Bring on the same fine and insurance system that is currently ruling the western countries. There are as many traffic offenses.
The collections can be utilized to improve policing.

The thing is, India has grown much bigger than it was in 1947. And the gov is still using the same yard stick. It has to change its policies drastically inorder to achieve real growth targets.

It maybe be true but it doesn't make it any less racist in perception; I'd still understand if the policy involved 'no citizenship' whatsoever. Period. But making a distinction between 'Muslims' in such a way and also not extending the benefit to those Non-Muslims who are sincere to the UAE, simply because the lot of us doesn't speak the Arabic language as our mother tongues or dress up in the way that Arabs do.....isn't extremely un-palatable for me and leaves a fairly bitter taste in my mouth! If it had to be then it should have been 'No Citizenship' whatsoever for any Non-Emirati irrespective of his/her ethnic or linguistic affiliation; I wouldn't say that this is wrong because I don't talk in those terms anymore but do I like it or am I even slightly disappointed - Yes..a massive Yes ! But I suppose its their country....there laws and the People who reside their knew about that when they applied for the Visa !

Our fertility rate is 2.7, not far from the goal of 2.1 .

But yes Indians need to stop flocking to UAE

The UAE derives a lot of profit from its expat Indian populous..and should at least grant them the privilege of citizenship.

Bad idea for future of UAE, Indians already make up 42% of the population if i recall.
