    Neither illiteracy nor ignorance of customs rules is the cause in this case! If he is so ignorant he will not buy UK pounds or Aus dollars. From where on earth he can save 13 lac rupees while working as a laborer in Dubai? These people are exploited by some smugglers or travel agents for some little commission for carrying out their job. Actual brains behind these activities go scot-free while these poor carriers gets caught!

    Fully agree with Mr. Shenoy. I don't see why anyone would "smuggle", if they were informed properly in advance about the rights and wrongs in declaring them.

    Most of them are laborers and do not know how to transfer the amount legally through banks. They probably think their hard earned money will be taxed heavily by the government, if they disclose it.

    Some sort of quick education by Indian mission there is needed.

    Mr.Shenoy, Keralites boast themselves as 100% literate and clever people in India. Then how come they are ignorant?

    Mr. John D'Souza,
    Since Keralites are 100% literate, they believe that people of other states are unintelligent, rather fools. If you happen to meet a Keralite, before asking your name, his first question will be "Where are you from?" and laugh sarcastically if your reply is other than Kerala.

    Many of the people caught by Customs are from Kasargod/Kerala. Why so? Is Kerala full of thieves?

    Because 85% of Kerala and 95% of Kasargod people working in the Gulf.

    Only 15% from rest of India.
    Jai hooo!

    Kerala is the highest contributor of foreign currency to Indian economy.
