What do Arabs think of Indians?

[u/scarletblooomm]

I have heard that Arabs can be pretty harsh toward them, and are very open with their racism. To be precise, im talking about Indian muslims.

I'm tired of this question and I feel like you're hearing it in racist circles to begin with.

India is going through an insane Islamophobic nationalist rampage and in this moment, the average Indian is more likely to hate us than the average Arab to hate them.

It's all a bit tiring. Yes racism in the Arab world exists, and I'm against the treatment of migrant service workers in Gulf countries. But we are not racism central. In fact, we are dealing with genocides and Islamophobia everywhere. Somehow we have to address every group coming to us to complain WE hate them.

Thankyou

Yes I have been hearing it in racist circles and I would be lying if I said its not getting to me. Thankyou for answering my question.

[u/OdielSax → u/scarletblooomm]

No problem. We don't hate India as a whole, at least I don't, and I don't know someone who does.

Yeah, you're the racist I was talking about. You should leave and stop aggravating us in our own space.

Indians hate Arabs and Muslims more than Arabs think or hate Indians. I’d actually say most Indian hate from Arabs is a result of them being so pro Israel.

[u/daaloori → u/PharaohhOG]

You got the cause and effect mixed up.

[u/PharaohhOG → u/daaloori]

No, I don’t think I did.

[u/jbaaaaab]

reputation for indians is at an all time low right now, because of their ultra nationalists who are behaving like lunatics and openly mocking a genocide. and i would be lying if i told you its not getting to me. there are two possible futures for india imo, one where indians are known for civility, honor, capability of self cretique and self improve, having a sense of humanity. or a future where indians are viewed as savage, inhumane, corrupt, dirty society. its only up to Indians to choose what they want to be, and no amount of killing minorities will force the world into liking them.

[u/Someone-44]

I personally as an Arab don’t care. They are people just as the rest of the population

[u/rickkyyyyyyyyy]

I saw the video of a Muslim girl was treated be cote being killed I hate those scumbags for real, I don't have shame in admitting that, some of you deserve to die for the way you treat Muslims there.

[u/scarletblooomm → u/rickkyyyyyyyyy]

Im a Muslim myself. And believe me when I say I have experienced the criticism your talking about. Friends and people I know have been injured just for being Muslim. I dont feel like I belong anywhere. An Islamophobic country, countries that hate me for being from said Islamophobic country AS A MUSLIM MYSELF, and the entire world hating on us.

[u/ProperAd9832]

As an Arab married to a Muslim Indian man, I don't hate Indians at all. Muslim Indians are very similar to us, a few cultural aspects differ, but it's not major. BUT I cannot help but notice how strongly Indian Hindus hate Muslim Indians. I was told once by an Indian Hindu person that my husband was more Pakistani (he has never set a foot in Pakistan nor did his parents, they have no connection to it). It's quite intense, I live in Europe and never noticed truly, until I married a muslim Indian, even here they have exported their hatred for you.

[u/Lillytroup2552 → u/ProperAd9832]

I am an Indian . Trust me, we have family friends of Muslims from three genetations, grown up with Muslims all around, you better sleak to any Indian Muslim and they will tell you how comfortable and safe they feel in India as opposed to any other neighbouring Islamic region. This seems like a propoganda comment.  Two of my female friends have left Saudi for a better life and they were both Muslim women. Only difference is, they are both single. 

[u/mmaarriiaammt]

Indian Muslims are like all other muslims. We are all the same.

I also see them living a hard life in india that is strongly against our religion.. so I hope they’re safe.

[u/truckensafely]

I’m not a Muslim & I don’t believe in religion but I love Indian folks, their culture fascinates me.

[u/dibidibiduu]

OP clearly specified “Indian muslims” but all comments are about Hindus. Based on my experience living in gulf, all Indians, regardless their religion and state, are treated almost the same.

[u/twofiveninezero]

I don't think about them one way of the other.

[u/Habibcom]

Not true. But to be fair, some Hindus actually do things to Muslims specifically Indian Muslims that makes some Muslims very racist plus Hindus support anyone that harms Muslims. It’s a double edged sword.

[u/Writer_paper6]

Similar culture to our culture, diverse languages, unique accent ,friendly and mathematics geeks

[u/NonyaB4747]

I don’t like anyone who acts uncivilized, smells very bad, can’t drive, scams their way through everything. Regardless of race. Dont make this about Arab vs Indian because we know who’s on top lol

[u/daaloori]

Hey, before u ask a question like this, please ask yourself would an Arab ever ask what do Indians think about Arabs? I’m not criticizing you or trying to insult u, but this question is embarrassing.

[u/Virtuafighterr]

These pointless questions don't lead anywhere man. There will always be a number of people from any ethnicity holding negative views of ethnicities outside of their own. This same mythical Arab that hates Indians probably holds a negative view of black Africans, East Asians, Europeans etc. It doesn't matter

[u/CouscousOverlord]

It depends on which class of Arabs you're asking. Wealthier racist ones are racist to everyone, including other Arabs.
