This myth of Indians being paid low salaries just because they are Indians is just.. a myth.
I worked in the government with many Indian colleagues and their salaries were based on the governmental salary scale. Some of them earned 7k, others 15k, and others 25. They were entitled to gvt housing and any other benefit like anyone else. I moved later to a private (semi-private) company, where 60% of the staff are Indians. Labourers get the salary a labourer (1200 or may be less), and engineers get the salary of an engineer (20, 30 or 40k depending on the title). I know many Indians who work in agencies as marketing execs and who get the same salary an Arab or a Westerner would get, that is 10, 12 or 15k.
You see? It is a myth, or may be a practice done in some poor companies directed by ignorant managers, but it is clearly not a pattern. If you think because you are Indian you should accept 5000 because that is the way it is in Qatar then you are cheapening yourself.
