Thanks for the correction. As I said, I picked up the word at street level
and no doubt many Hindi outsiders were considered no more than slaves, the
way the labor and blue collar was treated, maybe is still being treated
nowadays.

At last in Oman, the local Omani had almost God-like powers, and could
promote, demote, ridicule, imprison and extern any Hindi with no more than a
verbal complain to the Shurta [police].

How is now a days?

Btw, do United States citizens need visas to visit or do business in Dubai
and UAE?

Arya.
