Regarding the title of your post, ie your "dreams have been killed".... If that is all it takes to remove your passion to fly then you need to have a long hard look at your career vocation.

You have received some excellant advice from some people to your post.

I find it so difficult to fathom (if I may read between the lines, and correct me if I'm wrong) that you seem to believe it is your RIGHT to be GIVEN this job. No need to earn it. No need to build experience up. It seems you went to a sausage factory flying school on a half baked promise of free coffee at FL360. And, from others' responses this flying school does not have a good history, nor did it ever (?).

Why not take your shiney new CPL and go and do some freight, scenic, instructing, etc.... and build up some experience until the opportunity presents itself again. Go and study for your ATP(L) subjects!

"When I was a young boy......" (sorry to have to use that term!) pilots would have over 1000 hrs on a single engine piston before getting to look at a twin; then 2500 - 3000 hrs (1000 hrs PIC) before looking at a turbo prop, and 4000 hrs TT before getting the chance to interview for a jet job, then8 out of 10 would be rejected. It seems on the sub continent a culture of job-by-right in aviation has flourished. Now the bubble is bursting.

Get in a car and start driving to airfield after airfield and BEG for work on any aircraft you can and build your hours. It'll be tough, but the rewards endless.

Welcome to aviation. Do your research before getting involved with anything in this industry. Learn to make the best of the bad times and enjoy the good.

Best of luck.

PS: Sorry to point it out but you may need to work on your English if the grammer from your post is any indication.
