The reason can't be religion because India has a lot of citizens following Islam ... Can any one show some light on the hidden reasons. I can’t comprehend why Indians are not preferred?

And what about Indians from places like Malaysia (my father was offered a job in Dubai, and another in Abu Dhabi), Singapore, South Africa, etc.?

It is worth noting that the 20% of societies that did <b>not</b> turn to some form of socialism were colonialist, imperialistis states. And this observation would hold true for Japan, as it does for Western Europe. As far as this ad is concerned, the UAE has an expatriate population which is almost 75% of its total population. Yes, that figure is correct - citizens form only 25% of UAE's total population of approx 5 million. Expatriates from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Iran are estimated at nearly 40 per cent while the rest include other Arabs, Westerners, Africans and Asians. Wonder if this ad narrowly targets Indians or all south asians.

Judging by the performance of Indians here in the U.S., India has the ability. Now you need to execute (without falling into the populist socialism trap, again.)
