Of Garinda's (Indian village) 4,500 people, about 700 are employed in the Gulf, most in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, more than 1,000 miles away. Finding the work is relatively easy - Indian newspapers carry ads for Gulf jobs and brokers come searching for able-bodied men. The brokers usually arrange the travel to the Gulf - securing visas and tickets and shepherding villagers onto what for many is their first plane ride.
Garinda is only one of the hundreds similar examples.
