juld be liable,! or the reasons given in paragraph I,to lead to trouble
to
r : discontent with the Sheikh's rule.
It may be argued from the Sheikh's point of view that since Indians are
lov/ed to go to all the other Gulf states and are apparently useful thppe
lose who are now leaving Iran and Iraq might very well go and Join their
sllow-countrymen in these states.The objection would presumably be that
e far as Indian immigration is concerned saturation point has been reached.
ie admission on the Indian side that the possibilities of immigration are
pt unlimited would suggest ttix. a possible line of compromise; the Sheikh to
imlt a limi ed numoer of Indians and then to declare that saturation point
id been reaci od f lie would argue against this that he already has some Indian
his state and that saturation point has already been reached. In ooint of
41 ^
act there are probably not much more than half a dozen Indians in Kuwait.
Another possible compromise is that the Sheikh should allow a limited
iber of Indians to enter his state but should at the same time decree that
Indian should carry on business without xhk an equal Kuwaiti partnet.
tnout altogether excluding Indians this would render their activities
iss harmful and reduce the potential drain of money out of the state.
Whatever solution is adopted,it will be necessary to remenuer that,
may be given
iccording to the existing Foreign Office rules visas for Kuwait/without
reference to the Political Agent,and that it will bo possible for Indians
:o 6 e t visas for Kuwait from the Indian passport authorities or from
onsular Officers who have not been specially warned,unless provision is
: -£e to stop up this loop-hole.
