Of course, the more than comfortable pay packages offered to Indians—more than twice what they would get in the Gulf States—also helps. Kabul is a city being rebuilt from scratch and Indians are deeply involved in its emergence as a democratic capital. Television channels, road construction companies, internet service providers, hotels, civil engineering companies, all have a significant Indian presence.
While the embassy blast on Monday sent shockwaves throughout the community, no one is yet thinking of moving back to India. They still feel safe in the capital primarily due to the warmth of the local people. However, most have not brought their families here due to lack of educational facilities or a vibrant social life.
Indians employed here are top of the line professionals tasked with setting up new businesses. When a venture capitalist decided to put in money in the upcoming television sector and take on the leading local network, he was adamant on recruiting and Indian to head it. After all, India has the most vibrant television industry in the region and Indian soaps already the rage in Afghanistan.
