It would have been better if an Indian had given an answer to this question, but I am going to take this opportunity to answer this question as I have been associated with several Indian friends.

Well, I believe this is true and Indians working in other countries tend to become more racist towards people especially their own kind when they start their lives in another country.

Now while I am pointing out these things, it is not a way to generalize for everyone, but people need to understand where they are wrong and what they can do to make this world a better place.

Scenario:
There was a company that had two people working from different parts of the world. Both were Indians. One was working from India and the other was working from some foreign country.

As the country had chosen some Indian guy to liaison between Indian stakeholders, but unfortunately the person who was working from that country felt as if he was superior to the people working from India and was crossing lines every now and then by passing comments and forcing work load to Indian counter parts.

This was also because he was good in English and was able to articulate better, therefore, he used to dominate even the Managers working from India.

Having said that, he even used to down play roles of people that used to work from India and was always polite to people of that country even when it was their mistake most of the time.

We felt so bad each time he used to shout at people from India that we even asked him to not do this, but obviously, it was not what he liked. He used to say things like he was intelligent and that he knew that people from India were not working hard to complete the project on time and that he would report it to the business partners, but in reality, people from India were adhering to deadlines and submitting each project on time or even sometimes before deadline as well.

When they used to submit work before time, then he used to say why did you submit the work before time and that there were some new requirements that were under the pipeline and used to ask for justification.

When asked for the payment, he used to block those payments stating that you should have confirmed if the work was to be delivered or not even when clients were sending constant messages and were asking for updates about the projects in hand.

Conclusion:
This is just one example of one Indian being racist to another Indian who is not working in the same country that he was. There are so many stories from different people around the world that have witnessed these things happening.

This usually happens because Indians that have settled abroad they feel as if they are superior to the Indians that are in India.

Also, they keep making the comments that make other feel inferior and when they go back to India they behave as if they are entitled to every facility there even when they are not contributing to the country's growth.

Still saying that this is not with every Indian that lives abroad. Some people are really good and open minded and they are good with Hospitality, but some people have actually tarnished the name of India where it is said that "Guest is like a God".
