From Amristar To Arabia

Originating from the unique caste of the over smart Sardars. The Punjabi’s have increased in numbers in the growing years. Here in the Emirates there was a time when a lot of them were recruited in government sectors, (military, water & electricity dept, etc…). With time many moved out to UK and the leftovers started doing businesses. Today these leftovers have reached in making a luxurious life for themselves. This entire rise was not done through their own sweat and hard work, but by sucking the blood and money out from their own colleagues, friends, relatives or be it any innocent stranger they found to loot.

In short they can be described as Two Faces. Taking complete advantage of being Muslims, they easily make someone win their trust. I have personally seen them swear in the name of Allah, their parents, but those were just words disappearing in the air. I feel the sardars, may be considered dumb, but are even more honest and hard working than these hypocrites. Good thing they were kicked out of India.

Among the expats they are a very showoff type. Widely can be seen driving on the roads in Honda Accords and Civics. Nowadays Punjabi music has also become quite popular in discos, concerts or even heard on the roads from passing by cars with their volume to the top. Their songs are completely un-understandable, yet the public goes hip hopping around. A good English song is mixed with some cheap beats and an awful singer sings making that song reach a mark in the top ten charts.

And in a shopping mall, they can be visible with spiky hair styles, a sunglass (be it daytime or night) hanging on their head and tight clothes, plus above all talking English, in an European accent as if their forefathers originated from Europe. Seems that they totally forgotten their forefathers strolling around in a vest and a wizaar along with long moustaches.

Extremely professionals in making stories and in every story it’s a must they are the hero. Never from their mouths does something true comes out. Speak out an incident which had occurred with you and they will come up with an interesting story from nowhere too, after all their reputation matters.

Visit any used car showroom in Abu Shagara or in Al Aweer, they will hypnotize you with their words and make you purchase a scrap piece. Used car dealers, scrap yards, restaurants, butchers, trailer drivers and private driving instructors are their top businesses. Humanity, for them means money and Honesty means betrayal. As long as you shower them with cash, they will dance for you. The day cash flow stops, they will be no longer visible.

The Tijaari Muwatins

Like today, for medical treatment locals travel to European countries, there was a season some years back, when Hyderabad, India, was a famous treatment spot. Almost every local would travel to India for treatment. But I guess traveling for treatment was just an excuse, as every local returned back, married to a young Hyderabadi girl of aged no more than 13 or 14 years. Some of these men were even in their late 70’s. Having half a leg in the grave, how could one actually get married to someone the age of their grandchildren?

Well the locals are not the ones to be blamed; offer them anything and will accept it with great pleasure. If there is someone guilty, it’s the girl’s family. They themselves use their daughters as baits to hunt these innocent people. Once they succeed, then slowly every cash flow gets transferred to their account and they become the Sheiks of India.

How to identify these Hyderabadis? Time had passed and these little girls are now grown up women. They themselves and their children can all be very easily identified from their dark face structure and not to forget their huge abnormal sizes. Only god knows what the secret of their diet is. They all have a shaggy beard, hair not set and mostly strolling around in their jalabis. Is the Emirates out of water?

Not that they are poor or broke. They all are just ba7eel. Request them for financial help, be it an amount of 10 Dirhams, and they will come up with a million emotional excuses, and you will end up giving 100 Dirhams in return. During Islamic occasions, when charity organizations give away support to the needy within the Emirates, these people are in queue with their GMC’s, filling it with the whole year’s ration. In short, wherever you find “FREE” inscribed, for sure you will find these Hyderabadi Muwatins.

Plus their Arabic is still not 100% perfect, they pressurize their throat while speaking, but still lack the perfectness. Another easy way to identify them is a lot of them have a liking to keep American cars, Caprice or GMC. Unlike other immigrants who have gained the UAE nationality, these people consider themselves as of a high cast. Why? I’m still trying to know that myself. Like earlier I had written that there are some Balushis, who do not disclose their identity, these people are even worse. They will never speak Hindi with any human kind, be it a stranger or their own family member, nor are cooperative at all. If you ever face one, don’t waste time in trying your luck. Better approach an office boy, he would turn out more cooperative than them.
