    1. Citizenship, for me, implies a sense of belonging to a nation.

    2. I do identify with the state. Even though I am not legally a citizen, I have always felt and been treated
    like one.

    3. The relations between Sunni and the Shia haven’t been as peaceful as it has been in the past since
    2011. Before 2011, the differences or tensions between the communities were bare, and the Shiites and
    Sunnis were pretty much living harmoniously. Since the events of 2011, there is a general sense of
    distrust and tension between the two.

    The relations between Bahrainis and expats are very good. Majority of the Bahrainis treat the expats
    with no sense of discrimination. However, there are certain cases that prove the contrary.

    4. I interact with people from all layers of the society quite frequently. It is one of the perks of being in a
    highly multicultural society. The ethnical different almost never matter here during interactions,
    especially between expats. One of the fine examples of this is the relations between Indians and
    Pakistanis here. They are sworn enemies back in their countries, and uttering anything remotely in
    favour of one in the other’s country has even the potential to cause massive riots. But here, workers
    from both the countries working together, sharing accommodations together etc. is a common sight.

    5. Usually never.

    6. In terms of laws, an expat is granted all the rights given to Bahraini, and special societies have been
    set up (eg: Migrant Workers Protection Society) to ensure protection of their labour rights. Expats have
    access to free/subsidized healthcare, education, electricity, water and other goods and services, like the
    citizens.

    7. Different social groups are concentrated in different parts of the country. For eg., parts of Manama,
    Muharraq etc are expat hotspots, while most of the members of the royal family are concentrated in
    Riffa, and the Shi’ite population generally in the North Western region of Bahrain. The segregations are
    involuntary, and the reasons for this are several. For eg, Manama and parts of Muharraq have a high
    density of low cost housing, which makes it an attractive option to expats, which drives to them to these
    regions.

    8. The government plays little role in this segregation, as the segregation is largely self-induced.

    9. Bahrainis are quite passive when it comes to social participation and rights awareness. Voter turnouts
    are usually low, and people rarely raise issues about any laws unless it directly concerns them. This could
    be mostly because Bahraini citizens are provided with everything they need, usually in abundance,
    thanks to the oil-based economy which has helped raise the cap on public spending with zero income
    tax. This includes free healthcare, education, housing, free government services, highly subsidized goods
    etc.
