When I read
things about Germans trying to lure indians to work
in Germany I am very
very disturbed because of the things that me & my
friends have had to put
during our stay in Germany.
I am a s/w engineer & I was working in one of the
well known indian
companies. I left the indian company to work in
Germany & under the new
relaxed rules I managed to get a work / residence
permit. But Germany I
discovered was not the place for indians.
Trouble started the second I landed at Frankfurt
Airport. The airport
officials don't like Indians, one can see it in
their behavior and attitude.
All of us were made to go through very various
security checks, they even
checked our bags while the other european passengers
were allowed to go with
min checks.
It appears there was lot of public resentment
against the Governments
decision to bring indians. Even at work we indians
were not offered rooms ,
while fresh German & other european graduates were
having their own cabin.
Outside the office things were even worse, we had
problems getting taxis to
pick us up. THe accommodation arranged for us we
very very cheap while the
people from other european countries were given very
good accommodation.
Some of the boys who were with us wanted to go to a
bar on the weekend but
they were denied entry.
Racism is very rampant on the streets esp in smaller
cities like frankfurt.
This was all too much for us to bear so some of my
friends went back to
india & some went to the US & I am now in another
friendly European country.
So friends please please be very very careful &
don't fall for the Green
card scheme from Germany.
Please consider the following ..
1. The german green card is not at all like the
American Green card . German
card only allows you to be in germany for 3 years.
2. Racism is very very rampant in Germany cities esp
the smaller ones & no
one wants indians there. ( except the gov ).
3. German companies are not equal opportunity
employers.
4. The best place to work in is of course india..
But if you people are very
keen on going abroad then please go to America.
5. Imagine for a moment that all the indians who
went to the US to study r
work went to Germany instead of US .. do you think
they would have ever been
treated well & given equal opportunities as in the
US. Indians in the US
have prospered and shined because US is a country
that respects one talents
&education not race. In germany the most important
factor is race.
Infact the Germans hold the view that if at all they
ever needed foreign
labor they would like the Eastern Europeans to come
in Instead of the DIRTY
INDIANS.
Please tell this to as many Indians as
possible. Let them not make the
same mistake that my friends and me made..
