Indian diaspora in UAE credits India's stature rising globally to PM Modi's 11-year tenure

Indian diaspora in UAE credits PM Modi's 11-year tenure for boosting India's international prestige and economic growth.

"PM Modi has brought a lot of respect to India at the international level – Tarun, Dubai NRI"

Dubai, June 10

On completion of 11 years by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government, Indian expatriates in Dubai said on Tuesday that India's stature as a country has risen manifold across the world during the last 11 years since Prime Minister Modi assumed charge of leading the country in 2014.

While speaking to IANS, the Indian diaspora living in the Middle Eastern country also praised PM Modi's leadership and his last 11 years of governance.

Tarun, a non-resident Indian (NRI) living in Dubai, said, "I am a Canadian passport holder, currently living in Dubai. Prime Minister Modi's 11-year tenure has been excellent. The Prime Minister has increased the respect of Indians in foreign countries a lot. Wherever PM Modi has gone, India's respect has increased a lot there. PM Modi is about to come to Canada again (this time for the upcoming G7 Suummit), many NRIs like me are eagerly waiting for him. I will also be arriving in Canada with my own special programme."

Talking about India's robust development under PM Modi's leadership since the last 11 years, he said, "PM Modi's popularity has increased globally too because he has brought the country forward in the whole world. PM Modi has done commendable work in the digital world. He has worked for every section of the society irrespective of their religion, race or community. He has brought a lot of respect to India at the international level."

Another diaspora member Gopal said, "PM Modi held a public meeting in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This is the first time in the history of UAE in the last 52 years that I have seen any Prime Minister holding a meeting. Even the local leaders here did not hold any meeting. During PM Modi's public meeting, it felt like a fair. The local people were surprised as to who had come here and why there was such a huge crowd gathering."

Another Indian diaspora member Shekhar Bhatia said, "I have been living in Dubai for the last 35 years. Since the last 11 years, India's prestige has increased a lot in the UAE. PM Modi's visit to the UAE was historic. The way India is viewed abroad has improved a lot. The Narendra Modi government has a very commendable role in the growth of our economy."

As someone who frequently travels between India and Gulf countries, I've noticed how much more respect we get now abroad. The way PM Modi has positioned India on global platforms is truly remarkable. From yoga day celebrations to handling COVID vaccine diplomacy, we've become visible players. 🇮🇳

While I agree India's image has improved, we must also acknowledge the hard work of millions of Indians abroad who've built this reputation over decades. The government's efforts are building on foundations laid by our diaspora. Let's give credit where it's due - to both leadership and common people.

The UAE visit was historic indeed! My relatives in Dubai said even local Emiratis were curious about the massive crowds. But we must ensure this global respect translates to better opportunities for all Indians, not just certain sections. The true test is whether every Indian feels this progress.

I'm proud of India's growing stature, but let's not forget the challenges back home. While NRIs celebrate, we need the same energy in solving domestic issues like unemployment and inflation. Global image is important, but roti-kapda-makaan still matter most for millions.

The digital transformation under this government has been a game-changer! My uncle in Sharjah can now do all his banking for properties in India through UPI. This tech push is what's making global headlines and changing perceptions about India being just a land of snake charmers.

As a Dubai-based Indian, I've seen firsthand how our PM's visits create waves here. But I wish our media would also highlight the contributions of ordinary Indians who've lived here for generations, maintaining good relations with locals. The diaspora's success isn't just about political leadership.
