The Indian Diaspora In UAE: Home Away From Home
When you have ever passed by a busy market in Dubai or even taken a chai in Abu Dhabi, you have probably heard the well-known rhythm of Indian voices. This is because Indians comprise about 35 percent of the total population of the UAE, approximately 4.3 million individuals!
In Dubai, tech professionals are the backbone of the multicultural setup in the UAE, just as in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, Indians make up the bulk. Ten percent are dependent family members who continue the traditions even as they adjust to life in a foreign country.
At the top of the list are the people of Kerala, followed closely by Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. However, this is not the end of the story, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, and others are all part of this dynamic community that keeps the spirit of India alive in the Gulf.
Migration is just the beginning; it is a history of solidarity, belonging, and cultural pride that unites two countries as one.
