Forgotten Dairies
Book Review: The Flight out of New India, Rising Brain Drain and Wealth Drain -By Kestér Kenn Klomegâh
But in the middle of the 70s after the oil crisis, when the Gulf boom and huge construction work started across the Gulf, large numbers of Indians went in search of work. Of course, Hyderabad (where this interview happened) was one of the places from which they went. Kerala and Karnataka also saw large numbers of people going and literally again millions and now we have about 8 million Indians living in the Gulf region. So, this is the second wave of essentially skilled or unskilled workers migrating.
