Because dating in general is taboo across the Islamic world (and was in India too). In most Islamic countries an outsider will get killed for doing this.
The only thing I learned from that article is that Prof. Prasad is that he works for the CIA and is doing what he is told.
No one is this dumb.
What do professors do? Academics study things. Therefore, first step is to find out what sells. What is China selling that is in such high demand?
None of that was even attempted. It was time to tow the party and that professor did what he was told to do.
Watching and adopting two different things. and he was referring to 1980s and 90s for Asians. regarding Royal Kingdoms 1970s was the Golden Age of Arabic Soft Power. That Oil boom attracted million of workers. and only few millions of inhabitants of Arabian Peninsula were managing them. i cannot remember but male ratio was like 1 local to 10 foreigners. Can you imagine any civilization successfully dealing with so many male foreigners in a society without modern tech?. They were not just dealing with migrants on such scale but pilgrimage and had huge influence on products developed in countries like Japan. It was winning combination of American marketing(English), Arabic Soft Power and Japanese engineering as shown in the earlier tweet.
Muslim countries’ cultural dynamics are primarily determined by the aforementioned religious restrictions. In places where this is less extreme, like the Iranians in the West (and actually also in Tehran), they are also West worshipping and correspondingly I see many of their elite women including the former royal family marry white men.
But Arabs outside of Dubai? Not really as it’d violate the Islamic restriction against pre-marital sexual relations and the ban against marrying infidels. Of course the liberal Arabs in the West who don’t subscribe to Islam are an exception and the effect is then the same. But generally you won’t see Saudi princesses marry anyone who isn’t Muslim and those who do are severely punished unlike the royal Iranians.
