"Pseudo nationalists" ?? Dude........this an epic low to be honest.
How do you sleep at night ?
Dick.
It is a story of two set of Indians here.
One set:
1. illiterate maids, some of them less than 18 year old, whose fault is dream of American lifestyle and go with their employers in lying for visas.
2. What they discover? Overworked - long hours and weekends, paid a pittance compared to other maids($120 per month in case of the teenager - Shanthi Gurung),most of them see their passports taken away.
Other set:
1. the elites, the supposed "representatives" of India, who break the laws with impunity - hiding behind diplomatic immunity(Neena Malhotra) and corrupt to the core(Adarsh scam, non-declaration of assets to MEA etc) who hire these maids - committing visa fraud, labor law violation and most of all Human trafficking and slavery(when they retain the passports)
2. File case against their families for non-cooperation in India and taking even their children into custody to intimidate them which does not even happen to the families of IM terrorists or even the dreaded terrorist, Dawood's family.
3. Run away to India if they have full immunity and when US moved against one of the elites who does not have immunity, they move in to protect one of the corrupts at any expense.
I sleep well knowing fully that it is a matter of illiterate maids vs corrupt officials and there is nothing illegal on what US did.
My question back at you - do you sleep well? And how do you measure the honesty?
And beyond that it is very easy for me to call someone dick,prick, freak or use some extreme expletives. It is not going to make me look more patriotic or prove a point. So can we keep the language civil here?
Regardless of the treatment meted out to her, I see no reason for the Indian establishment to go out on a limb to protect the interests of this odius creature. I feel the protests lodged and measures to curb privileges of US consular staff are proportional and adequate in the circumstances.Given her tainted background and the manner in which she and her family exploited the quota system and their official positions to enrich themselves over the years, Khobragade deserves everything she gets from the US judicial system (although cavity searches, if true, might have been a step too far).
If they had done the same for Krittika Biswas, I could understand as she was innocent as proved later(or even otherwise she is a teenager) but protecting this corrupt official?
And there is no cavity search. It is just the media created a frenzy. She was asked to change from the dress what she was wearing to a prison clothing with her bra and panties on under the watch of a female officer - in short a strip search.
