Indian students often come to Germany with high hopes of moving up the career ladder. Instead, many end up indebted by high university fees and expensive housing, forcing them into exploitative work as delivery riders.
Young South Asian students are increasingly drawn to Germany by aggressive marketing promises of affordable education and high‑paying tech jobs, only to find themselves trapped in debt, exploitation, and the precarious food‑delivery sector. Many arrive with loans, high living costs, and limited access to legal employment, pushing them toward subcontractors who use WhatsApp, cash payments, and legal loopholes to avoid tax and labor regulations.

Wow thats terrible
They should stay in India
The poor dears.
Stay home.
So, if you take into account what the German Government took in for taxes for a German youth to go to college, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
And again, if the government takes in taxes to pay for a German youth's housing during college (I'm guessing they do), then WHAT AGAIN IS THE DIFFERENCE.
The point is that money is being spent in either case. The German government has not taken in taxes for every person in India, have they? No Way, it would bankrupt the entire country.
So, the premise, I suspect, of this article is bogus.
Colleges are not paid out of thin air, are they?
The article is typical hogwash and if the German Government is paying German taxes for this writer, perhaps the writer should be replaced?
No, I suspect, that both have to compete for the same jobs, not knowing what they might have to live on.
There are no guarantees in either case I imagine.
Again, pure hogwash.
They should stay in India and improve their own country.
