Hundreds of Illegal Indian Immigrants living in Appalling conditions in London

[mayfair]

To be honest, while I pity their situation, I have no sympathy for the rule breakers. This obsession for working in vilayat even when all they can get their hands on are petty, menial jobs under abysmal conditions and pay, is what has let them down. Not only do they let themselves and their family down but other hardworking law abiding citizens of this country, residing in the UK (and elsewhere), who are unfairly lumped with this lot.

Many of these folks pay enormous sums to get there, why not use some of that money to improve your lives in India.

Punjabis have a serious craze to go abroad and will do anything to go to `vilayat`. It's said that major portion of immigration fraud among Indians is done by Punjabi, Gujarati and Andhra people of late.

Perhaps GoI can charter a plane and bring them back home? At least they will not be freezing once they reach India.

i'm sorry, what meaning is this?

kala= black in hindi/punjabi
Wallah= people in hindi/punjabi

South Indians are darker than the North Indians especially Punjabis......

If you read Chetan Bhagat's novel "two states" you will know more about the cultural differances between the two states Tamil Nadu and Punjab.....

for that they have to comply dont they???? But as Blackwater says, what if they dont wish to return home????

They spend all their money on **** how do they expect to send enough? Lost passport is not an issue, there are redundancies.

thats five hundred percent true... i was example for that..

before i used to smoke just 4-5 cigerates/ day in India, when i went to UK, i started working part time... i started smoking 20 ****/day... later economic down came and lost my job... for 2 months, then i used to work just 10£/day.. and get some money for rent, but couldnt get money for ****, i started rolling ****, later couldnt get money for that, then used to collect **** on road, and take tobacco out of it and make rolls out of it...

thats very bad life i lived,

then one day my life changed as every i used to work for 10£, and used to spend 5£ in casino every day, one day i won 70£, with that i made £2k, just brought a ticket after a month later, send £1K home and left to london, with 500£ in hand and made until £4k, send another £1k home, and enjoyed all the money until it became 0£ and left home.. by learning the way of life.... and now in peace at home in India...

This is my journey of life...

In that case, they can stay there and freeze.

You echoed my thoughts. I feel very sorry for the poor guys, especially when I hear of incidents where people died after being cooped up in an airless hidden chamber for more than 15 hours, people being tortured by the human smugglers, people's being thrown in the snow, and so on. :tsk

At the same time I wonder what is the mad craze for going abroad at such humungous costs, just to end up much worse off! These people who struggle to land up in Britain, do know that they are doing something "wrong" and "illegal". Yet they take loans of 5-6 lakh, putting their entire family in trouble, and go and live a terrible life in Britain!

This phoren obsession needs to be sucked out of India's societal thinking.

If people are taking so much pain to go abroad, they, or at least some of them, must have been living in much crappy situation in India already, no?

Certainly not - at least that is not what I have seen in most cases.

These are people who can live reasonably well in India. Not a rich life with all the luxuries, but they don't lack the means to eat full meals, have a roof over their heads, and provide education for their children.

In short, in more than 90% cases, they live a better life back home than they end up living in the UK!

well pain is for those who go illegally. other are fine like me

In India,i mean Punjab ,people go abroad becoze of craze, pressure from parents to earn money only to send back to India. They live like rats abroad.

To give u example recently there was huge immigration in countries like Italy and Spain. lakhs of illegal Punjabi in Europe rushed to these 2 countries.

they work and live like rats and send money back home in India and their parents and brother,sister enjoys the money ,poor chaps in Italy live like rats

10,0000 to go UK my god i would have started another business in my home town for half the money lol

exactly mate. There are so many jobs in our country, though they cant earn lakhs they can, atleast lead a peace full life here. After all we have a welfare country- which gives everything vital(education, medical care) free for its citizens, why should they lose all that, their voting rights, their right to live their own life in their own terms and all just to live like rats in a foreign country.


And recently i heard in news and advertisement that govt has regularised the workers travelling abroad by providing licenses to agencies and all! If thats true, thats something!

Homeless Illegal Immigrants In West London Unable To Return Home Sky Investigation Discovers | UK News | Sky News

Hundreds of illegal immigrants from India are sleeping rough in appalling conditions in west London, a Sky News investigation can reveal.
Unable to find work after the economic downturn, the men huddle together against the freezing cold under bridges across Ealing and Hounslow.

A lack of sanitation and washing facilities has created squalid living conditions attracting rats, drug dealers and disease.

They are known locally as "fauji" which literally translated means "foot soldier", but in this context it refers to hard-working immigrants without an identity.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sad to see! They should try and get back to India somehow! Problem is many of them destroyed their passports because it then becomes very difficult to deport them and also paid traffickers thousands of pounds and are stuck here! No one is helping them! The Sikh community feed some of them at the local Gurdwara, they are turning to petty crime and relying on homeless charities to feed them.

Sad. You will be surprised to hear this but I have some friends who are hospital level consultants. We were chatting and they said there is no option for them to move back to India. I was shocked to hear this. They gave no reasons. But my wife feels it may be beacuse they may have bragged that they are doing very well in the UK and to go back will be considered an act of failure. Some do not have Indefinite leave to remain, some are on work permits some are British passport holders. All Indian origin- born and bred.

For me and wife, India is our home and why should I ever feel ashamed to go back home? Perhaps not all people feel so.

Piaisa bai.. Even in italy they say Paisa for money just like us, at the end sub paisa ko bai.. This is why i dont understand economics, even if a man reaps more harvest in India than in Italy he will earn less and live less. This is why i hate economics because it is not fair.

Amen man. The situation will get better soon. That is inevitable.
