If this is true it's a choice the Indian person has to make.

Doesn't change any potential mistreatment of workers in catar.

Catar needs to be measured by modern worker protection laws or standards.

But why? Western countries with modern worker protection laws would never grant visas to these people. Qatar lets them in by the millions.

How is this supposed to be a reasonable comparison?

We don't create those visas because we don't build tons of things and have our workforce.

How is this any reason to accept bad working conditions?

They are a rich and relativ modern country
