What is the economic, social contribution of these nationalities.
Out of 26% Indians, Mallus account for atleast 20%.
I think the figures on Iran are a little confusing.
Agreed
BANGALI MORE THEN PHILIPINE IS STRANGE.
You see more Philipine in malls and schools but you do not see Bangali in farms and houses.
Most of the Bangali’s are in agriculture and farms, so we can’t see them on the main stream…
I Think this is based on 2014 can you have recent how many Nepalese in here please
our Nepali government said 525 hundred thousand Nepalese people live in UAE .i am confusing.
