First of all the title is wrong as Indians are definitely not the largest expatriate community in Kuwait.

The update at the bottom which is like a fine print or disclaimer is indicative of the incompetence of the editor of this news item.



According to 2009 figures, Kuwait's total population was 3,441,813, including 1,087,000 Kuwaiti nationals and 2,354,261 foreigners.



out of these 2,354,261 minus the 600,000 indians and you get 1,754,261 non indians expats.From this minus the total bengalis, philipinos, srilankans and indonesians totalling 260,129(from this report) and you get 1,494,132 as a number comprising, pakistanis, egyptians, syrians, lebanese, iranians, iraqis, westerners, other asians..etc..so there is definitely a chance that one of this nationalities can cross the 600,000 mark that is claimed for the indians..the statistics have probably recorded the visitors(visit visa) as well..So in other words if it is true that indians are the largest non arab expat community, then consequently indians constitute the largest non arab market for fast moving consumer goods in Kuwait.food for thought??

R u include pakistanis in 600,000 , or seprate, wht abt pakistani expatriates, & wht abt egyptians...

Thanks IIK for the clarification/ update: the report is based on non-Arab foreigners living in Kuwait.

Friends, major flaw of this report, the way it is given, the media should be more vigilant in reporting such statistics, because Pakistanis and Afghanis are not there, thanx to the footnote(based on non arab foreigners). I hope IIK team will show more responsibility on this issue. We are expecting more professional way of reporting such statistics. All the Best!

what about egyptians and pakistanis? where are the iranians and all other westerners? this statistics are rubbish. you must including all expatriates leaving only the nationals.

please dont mislead the public by your insufficiant and inefficient statistics.

please try to read the new and try to get the Approximate statistics.No one can give exact statistics of people.

See how many reactions about Paks and Egys. nobody bothers to read the news in full. The statistics excluding non-arab speaking expats. Paks also speak arabic? As far as I speak it is Urdu. Are Urdu and Arabic same?

WHAT ABOUT EGYPTIANS AND PAKISTANIS? THEY WERE NOT CONSIDER AS HUMAN BEINGS OR WHAT?

Is this report- in a bid to expel- the excess indians from the country?

You guys are not reading the complete information... The Last Line clearly says "Update: The above statistics is based on non-Arab foreigners living in Kuwait. "

THE STATATICS GIVEN IT SEEMS 600000/- WHICH ALSO INCLUDES MARSI, PAKISTANIS, AND BENGALIS AS INDIAN COMMUNITY. HOWEVER IT IS GREAT TO NOTE THAT INDIAN COMMUNITY IS MORE IN NUMBERS AS THIS SHOWS THAT LOT OF DEMAND IS THEIR FOR INDIANS IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY.LOL

I did't expact indians in kuwait as given like this false news, our doubt is Egptians are not even equal to Indonesian population as given 48000, then where is pakistanis, some thing wrong statistics.

As one should not judge anything, until he were fully aware of it from all sides and understand it thoroughly.

@Rasheed you are 100% day's blind man come and see my company status of indian,dont joke like a baby...hehehee

Where are all the Bengali's gone???? may be they were serving Tea and Cleaning their good times when this statistics was prepared. SO they forgot to include them. RUBBISH STATISTICS.

Foolish report. most of the indians are engineers, technicians, secretaries etc. etc.

May be : Approximate total Expats: 600,000 approximate of them 233,000 may be indians. There is something wrong in the news.

THIS TYPE OF STATITICS MAKE US FOOLISH!!! I AM SURE IT IS COMPLETELY WRONG STATISTICS....PLEASE DO THE CORRECTION.ASAP...INCLUDE EGYPTIANS IN STATISTICS THEN THEY WILL COME IN FIRST PLACE.

This statics based legal residence and all other illegal residence Nationals are not included LOL

Do you mean "expatriates" or "Non-Muslim country nationals" in Kuwait ??????Egyptians,Pakistanis,Afganis,Iranis,....are not expatriates???????

This is wrong report. To my knowledge and as per the previous statistics, Egyptians are the largest expat community in Kuwait.

MAYBE THE STATISTICAN IS A MASRIDAS ?

This Statistics made by some Egyptians ,they forgot to include there Strength

Maybe they took only human expatriates in count this time.

EGYPTIANS ARE NOT EXPATRIATES.....THEY HAVE THE SAME GRADE OF KUWAITIS.... CITIZENS....

Seems to be useless and incomplete report report,kindly give full statistics on expats population in Kuwait atleast all major ones, boss you are missing Egyptians and Pakistanis who are atleast more than Sri Lankans.

Out of this how many are red indians!!!

Egyptians are not count as Expatriate, because they speak Arabic.

This is biased report... targeting only asians. Whoever conducted the survey does not understand the meaning of expatriates. What about Arabic speaking expatriates like Egyptians & Lebanese ????

WHAT ABT EGYPTIONS?

What about the Egyptians???!!!

WHAT STATISTICS IS THIS ? WHERE ARE THE EGYPTIANS.

I think in this report having some mistake. Where are Egyptians & Pakistanis ? They also large in numbers.

Its not surprising !!! Jai Ho, Jai Hind !

what about eigyptions ????
