    That's what pissed me off with many (not all) Indians in Africa. They would really treat the locals badly.

    The locals do get the occasional chance to fight back, as I found when dealing with a customs officer about the import of a seriously expensive computer board, on which there was 100% import duty. An Indian chappie who had been asked to make an inventory of the contents of several large suitcases went into "pester mode".

    The customs officer winked at me and told me take the computer board and disappear, no duty collected. He was clearly going to have some fun
    From experience Indians treat Indians badly too. Its just in the nature to treat someone lower down the rank as badly as possible. The servant maids are treated quite badly, made to work for hours with low pay etc. I was once in a shop in India where a very elderly lady was cleaning the floor. The shop owner came over shouted at her and aimed a kick at her ! I asked him if he would treat his own mother like that and he just growled at me.
