India Extorts and Humiliates Its Own Migrant Workers

The Indian government treats its overseas workforce like absolute garbage. Hundreds of desperate Indian expats queued outside UAE diplomatic missions today. Bureaucratic incompetence completely collapsed the local passport renewal system. Two outsourcing partners shut down their centers before the replacement company arrived. A bitter court fight in Delhi caused the massive administrative delay.

Taxing the Desperate

Now, exhausted migrant workers must stand in the blistering summer heat. They beg embassy officials for basic, mandatory travel documents. To make matters worse, India just hiked passport fees by nearly sixty percent. They force blue-collar laborers to pay extortionate cash rates for basic renewals. The state extracts massive wealth from the poorest, most vulnerable citizens. They demand more money while providing absolutely abysmal public service.

A Broken System

Politicians in Delhi fight over corporate contracts while the workers suffer. The diaspora builds foreign cities while their own government robs them blind.

The state always preys on the working class. Get the unvarnished facts at The WAU today.
