The Indian worker is neither feted nor celebrated. Much like in the country the construction worker, the farm labour, the thousands of drivers, cooks, plumbers, maids, carpenters and electricians who go abroad for employment are seldom noticed. The country is justly proud of the achievement of its professionals and constantly highlight their contribution to India’s economy and prestige. Yet, the worker contributes as much to the economy. The money they send back to the family keeps the home fire burning and has led to the development of southern states like Kerala.
