From Gulf Remittances to Hate Factories: How Hindu NRIs Earn Under Muslim Authority but Fuel Islamophobia in India


India received a record $135.5 billion in remittances in the 2024–25 financial year.

And nearly 40% of that — over $50 billion — comes from Muslim countries: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain.


Let that sink in.


The most Islamophobic political system in the world today is being financially nourished by the Muslim world.

And the irony?

A major portion of these remittances come from Hindu workers employed under Muslim authorities in those very countries.


They earn from Muslim-run economies and fund Hindutva hate back home.

They whisper “Yes sir” in Riyadh, then shout “JSR” in Delhi.

They quietly obey Muslim systems abroad, then loudly demand Muslim erasure in India.


This isn’t an accident. This is how the system is functioning, powered by silence abroad, state-approved impunity at home, and a prime minister who plays both sides.



Abroad, they serve and suppress.


In Gulf countries, they:


• Work under Muslim bosses.

• Respect Islamic laws and traditions.

• Adjust for Ramadan, accept Friday as the weekend.

• Eat with those they'd never sit beside in India.

• Hide caste surnames and bow down to local rules without complaint.



These are not Islamic states. No country today follows full Shariah. But Muslim countries uphold Islamic principles in law and public conduct. Enough to demand dignity, enforce order, and put arrogance in check.

And that’s why Hindutva doesn’t exist abroad, because it doesn’t survive Islamic discipline.


Back home, they explode with impunity.


Once in India:

• The same Hindu NRIs fund digital hate factories.

• Their Gulf-earned salaries flow into temple construction, hate propaganda, and political donations.

• They scream about Hindu pride, mock Muslims, and promote boycotts, all while their families survive off remittances from Muslim lands.



Why?

Because they know they can. Their supreme leader has normalised Islamophobia, demonised every visible Muslim voice, and handed them a free pass to hate.

The system doesn't just look away, it rewards their violence, their trolling, their gaslighting with impunity.

The Prime Minister hugs Gulf royalty, bows to Muslim kings, praises their leadership on foreign soil, while ignoring anti-Muslim violence, bulldozed homes, hate rallies, and mass propaganda inside India.

He shows diplomacy abroad, but breathes fire at home through silence, silence, and more silence. And this silence screams.



Political representation of Muslims? Systematically reduced. Token figures used to show “inclusion". Independent Muslim voices kept out of parliament, media, administration. Any dissent is labelled anti-national.

Any resistance is crushed with lawfare, FIRs, or mob violence.

This is how Muslims in India are caged not physically, but politically, socially, and psychologically.

Indian Muslims see through this and they endure d their systematic

Political erasure, Judicial neglect, Police brutality, Media demonisation,

Social discrimination.

Indian Muslims do not worship political leaders.

They don’t idolise power. They don’t chant the name of their leaders in prayer. They bow only to Allah.


Even in Muslim countries where they're given dignity, housing, jobs, and rights without begging, they do not build statues of their rulers. They say Alhamdulillah and move on. That’s the power of faith. Not convenience. But conviction.



And yes, Muslim women speak.

We don’t speak to trend. We speak when the weight of truth gets heavy enough to be shared. Some of us are in homes, raising children and building minds. Some of us are in corporate buildings, courtrooms, classrooms, and hospital wards. We are everywhere, visible or not and when we speak, it isn’t for applause.

We speak clearly.

Not to be heard. But to be understood.



Key Truths:


India received $135.5 billion in remittances in FY 2024–25.


40% came from Muslim countries - over $50 billion.


UAE alone contributed nearly 20%.


Hindus form a large part of the Gulf workforce, often working under Muslim leadership.


Their earnings are used to fuel political Hindutva, not coexistence.

The Indian state enables this pattern through hate impunity, media manipulation, and diplomatic two-facedness.

This is not a rant. It’s a reality check.

This is not playing victim. It’s holding up a mirror.

And mirrors don’t lie.
