Hyderabad: Former Minister for NRI Affairs, government of Andhra Pradesh, Mohammed Ali Shabbir stressed on the necessity to attract small investors from among Indian residents in Gulf to invest in India. Concerned with the fact that government mainly tries to attract huge investments from NRIs of western countries, Shabbir suggested evolving schemes to attract group investments from low salaried Indian workers in Gulf.
Mr. Shabbir was talking to media persons after releasing the book “Expat Ride” in Hyderabad last week. It is authored by Riyadh based journalist Mohammed Saifuddin and published by www.yahind.com. “Expat Ride” covers diverse issues and problems being faced by the Indian expatriates in Gulf countries.
Mohammed Ali Shabbir said the problems of the Indian workers in the Gulf countries are different from NRIs living in other countries. They should be dealt separately.
He appreciated the team of Yahind.com for publishing a book on the important subject, which is commonly missed by the Indian media. He also congratulated the author for penning down this book.
The book was released coinciding with Investor’s Summit in Hyderabad (12-13 Jan) and just few days after the conclusion of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas in Jaipur.
The event was attended by prominent NRIs from Riyadh Mr. Nadeem Tareen, Chairman Delhi Public School Riyadh, Mr. Viren Joshi (Australian Embassy Riyadh) and Mr. Mir Himayat Ali (Managing Director Levtech Consulting, Riyadh). Prominent literary figures and journalists from Hyderabad Dr. Abid Moiz, Mr. Syed Fazil Hussain Parvez, and Mr. Abdul Rasheed Junaid attended.
“Expat Ride” author Mohammed Saifuddin is a bilingual journalist. He worked for Munsif Urdu daily, Hyderabad and Awam Urdu daily. After shifting to Saudi Arabia, he contributed many articles to Saudi Gazette and other English and Urdu newspapers. Saifuddin was associated with Yahind.com since its early days and contributed many articles. After moving to Riyadh, he became the Joint Editor of the site.

Thank You
Dear Sister Tasnim Faroqui,
Thank you for your comments. The book is not about the authorities of the host countries. There are many issues and problems which the Indian government has to solve. The book mainly covers such issues. The Indians in the Gulf countries are always taken for a RIDE by the successive Indian governments, that's the reason why the title of the book is Expat Ride.
Regards
Mohammed Saifuddin
