The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are increasingly becoming home to a large number of Indian diasporas. This research paper will discuss the increasing presence of Indians in the GCC countries and examine their socio-economic contributions. It will also explore the reasons for this migration and its implications on both the countries of origin and destination. It will analyse the future prospects for Indian migrants in the region. By analysing the current trends of Indian diaspora in the GCC countries, this paper strives to shed light on this important topic. Further, it seeks to explore the factors driving Indian migration to the GCC countries, and the socio-economic contributions of this diaspora. It will analyse how these migrants are adapting to their new environment while maintaining strong links with their country of origin. Additionally, it will investigate how the presence of Indian diaspora is impacting both Indian culture and society in the Gulf region. More so, it will examine the potential implications for future generations of Indians in the GCC states. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have long been home to a significant population of expatriates from India and other South Asian countries. For decades now, these people have contributed greatly to the economic development of the region, yet the relationship between them and native GCC citizens has been fraught with cultural misunderstandings and clashes. Besides, this paper is to explore the complex dynamics between the Indian diaspora in GCC countries and their host nations, examining both positive and negative aspects of this unique relationship. In particular, it will focus on the various ways in which the Indian diaspora has contributed to the economic and cultural development of GCC countries, as well as looking at how their presence has been received by native citizens. It will draw on recent research to provide insight into some of the challenges faced by Indians living in these countries, and consider how both sides can work together more effectively to create an inclusive and harmonious relationship. Conclusively, it will suggest potential areas for improvement that could help bridge the divide between Indians and GCC citizens.
