Indians have a reputation for being hard-working:

Indian nurses revealed that people have been very respectful to them during the pandemic because Indians have the reputation of being hard-working & dedicated to work, kind of people.
“Protect medical practitioners” – Indian nurses:
Rahul Gandhi listened to their experiences and concluded the interaction by asking them what India can do to help them. To which nurses working outside India said that in times such as these, where they have been working relentlessly in bigger shifts, it is very important to talk to them. The nurses have treated and seen many people passing away and the only thing they want is “staying in touch with us” or “talking to us”. The Indian nurse pointed out that medical practitioners must be protected at all costs, and better policies regarding that should be implemented.
