[W.G.Ewald]

A good article, but uses praise of accused as an argument for her innocence.

The US has gone overboard against Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade | Firstpost

 

[Patriot]

I agree with all the measures taken in reciprocation, except the removal of traffic barriers near the US embassy.
Political tussles will go on, but security should not be played with.
After 9 years of dozing, it is a good show put up by the electorally motivated GoI

Bang right .

Why not !! Because it is a Dalit issue so CONs have to do it.

Whatever incident is unacceptable and our reaction is justified.

Gentlemen if Any of you find US diplomatic staff standing in a QUEUE
with you at any airport please AMUSE us with the tale

And also give the diplomats a piece of your mind

Indian official: Diplomat's arrest in NYC barbaric | Boston Herald

For an educated, middle-class woman to face public arrest and a strip search is almost unimaginable, except in the most brutal crimes.

Far less serious protocol complaints have become large issues in the past. Standard security checks in the U.S. regularly are front-page news here when they involve visiting Indian dignitaries, who are largely exempt from friskings while at home.

So which was it. strip-search or frisking? There is a big difference.

Strip search is too much for a diplomat in a non-terror case (that too with an Indian woman where woman even commit suicide if forcefully stripped) ! this needs a serious reply from GoI. I am sure that X-ray or any other scanning method was sufficient to check her, after all she is not from Pakistan and not hiding bombs in her cloths.

We can do all sorts of things if girl complaint of force Lesbo 377 against US lady diplomat.................

 

[W.G.Ewald]

Why dont you be honest and open about what the USA really wants

why all these under hand techniques

And going by the Indian diplomatic "response " it is clear that Indian diplomat
is on the right side of the law

When the Obama administration is open and honest about anything, I can perhaps respond.

I don't believe the accused was "strip-searched" and will not believe it without some reasonable evidence. The claim that she was subjected to a strip search has more to do with making the accused into a victim.

A strip search is a practice of searching a person for weapons or other contraband suspected of being hidden on their body or inside their clothing, and not found by performing a frisk search, by requiring the person to remove some or all of his or her clothing. The search may involve an official performing an Intimate Person Search and inspecting their personal effects. A strip search is more intrusive than a frisk and requires legal authority. Regulations covering strip searches vary considerably, and may be mandatory in some situations or discretionary in others.

Sir, media channels are reporting here that she was strip-searched, however I'll wait for the evidences in concurrence with you. But if strip-searched then it's a serious issue.

377 deals only with gay homosexuality, not with lesbians. That is one more idiocy in that Victorian era law.

Can we strip search few US diplomat chicks?

Bang Bro, 377 says

377. Unnatural offences: Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.
Explanation: Penetration is sufficient to constitute the carnal intercourse necessary to the offense described in this section

I am sure you heard of dildo and strapons. It is all unnatural.............

ofcourse AC and i can make money out of it by arguing in or against it............. but it is unnatural is what matters.

377 deals only with gay homosexuality, not with lesbians. That is one more idiocy in that Victorian era law.

The H'ble SC has mentioned the term lesbian in its judgment, plus the language of the sec. 377 doesn't say so. I don't know if there is a judgment which says that Lesbians can not be prosecuted u/s 377.

Hope that street is filled with 2-stroke Yamaha riders and Daly-Boyz from Noida with their loud-music SUVs.

[Daredevil]

There are two issues here

1) Mis-treatment of an Indian Diplomat.

2) Breaking of US immigration laws by the Diplomat .

India should certainly take-up the first issue but on second issue Diplomat is on the wrong side & therefore subject to law of the land provided it doesn't transgress consular or diplomatic immunity.

 

[Daredevil]

Here is the real issue

We might come from a country where labour is cheap and noone raises an eyebrow that millions of Indians come to our homes everyday to cook and clean, seven days a week, 365 days a year and have their pay docked when they fall sick and don't make it to work. But that does not our cultural attitude towards domestic help will not cause a stink outside our borders. Just because our diplomats' nannies live in Manhattan and not a chawl in Mumbai does not mean that they should be grateful and not gripe about not being paid according to US Labour laws.

The Indian government is perfectly justified in arguing whether or not the US went overboard when it handcuffed Ms Khobragade. It should definitely make sure that proper process was followed as befits a consular staff member. As consular staff member representing India abroad, Ms Khobragade enjoys many rights. The right to a domestic help at cut-rate wages however is not one of them.
