All of these seem like anecdotal examples, and frankly these stories reek of an anti-Indian bias because they involve an amplification of a few lone samples. I’ll also point out that it is easy for people who aren’t happy with their station in life or particular outcomes to find an external thing to lay blame on, like discrimination. But I find some of these stories suspicious, simply because we don’t know the other side of the story and we don’t know why they didn’t get [a promotion or a job or whatever]. Maybe they were just bad at their job.
> I've seen the absolute worst of humanity(from Indians to Indians) during my stay there as an Indian immigrant until I returned, its literally dog eat dog.
I’m not sure what you mean here. You say “its literally dog eat dog”, but the word ‘literally’ has a certain meaning. Are you saying…that your coworkers are dogs and are eating each other? This type of emotional statement makes me view your prior claims with skepticism.

Google Search "define dog eat dog" dog eat dog phrase of dog used to refer to a situation of fierce competition in which people are willing to harm each other in order to succeed.
