Expatriates and challenges

‘People who are looking to own a first home by living in a second home’ is my definition for gulf expatriates. In 70 and 80s millions of expatriates were brave enough to go to gulf countries in search for a decent life. Today, these left over millions, especially in Saudi Arabia are questioning their bravery, in fact, wondering was it worth! Often this group looks so naïve and foolish in front their own cousins who have built better job career, businesses and life in their countries against multiple odds.

Ayodhya Verdict

A historical verdict evokes three different responses. Before I explain the responses, I consider it historic, because the verdict does not limit within the legal domains and suggest the parties to move forward with compromising formula of joint possessions or joint holders of the property. It is historic, because the judges thought about the social implications, which is again beyond the legal purview and practices in India. Rarely judges show their vision of social implications on positive direction and therefore, we must appreciate the panel of judges, though one of them categorically dismissed relief to Muslims and awarded the entire property to Hindu parties. It took sixty one years to decide on the title holders, but largely based on the belief, practices and utilization of the property in the absence of valid or clear documents and entitlements. No victory or loss – proclaimed by RSS parivars including BJP. A base for reconciliation – thumped by other political parties and i...
