Yup. The move would also grant such staff working abroad protection from abuse and secure wages. Everybody wins.

Sure. However, it is their system and would be solely their prerogative if or what they want changed. Sure as I wouldn't want any American coming and lecturing us about the inherent flaws of the Indian legal system and the laws they want thrown out, I would extend the same courtesy to their way...

Hmmm...I wonder which one of them would be upheld in an American court? American law or Indian logic? :P To answer your other query, India intends to register all domestic help provided to diplomats overseas as government employees thereby not having to conform with American wage standards. So...

In the absence of any written understanding between the two nations, citing common practice is neither a sound legal defense or even any measure to quash legal proceedings against a person. Of course, there's no moral or legitimate riders on Devyani not paying her maid a higher salary than...

To be fair, "everyone else is doing it so why single me out?" is also a flimsy excuse. With this incident, India is ironing out the paperwork and salary issues with their staff so some good did come out of it. Bitter medicine, but medicine nonetheless.

Erm...you do realize that in order to raise animals for the purpose of slaughter, you would need to feed them? After all, cows don't fatten themselves on air and rainbows, right? So when you down a steak, you are in effect consuming all the resources that took to bring that t-bone on your plate...

What figures? What report? And to conclude, it was the state government that chipped in with zero military budget!!! And so the question arises on when how and why should be the Indian Navy would be stiffed with bill like you assume it to be. Keying in @Capt.Popeye for some insight.

Nonsense. What specific liabilities were the Indian Navy held accountable to? And since when was INS Vikrant out of state care? You do realize the political backdrop of all this, don't you? How Bal Thackeray threw the INS Vikrant a lifeline Sandeep Unnithan | Mail Today | Mumbai, November...

For the government to exact payment from the armed forces(their budgets, to be specific) for the upkeep of any memorials. This has never happened before so yeah.... you're pretty much painting a bullshit scenario.

Oh please. Since when has this ever been a precedence for this?

Dude, this is a significant piece of history that we're talking about. Even if the proposed memorial doesn't go through, think about the decades of seafaring and professionalism of the Indian Navy which simply is unmatched to any world power when it comes to aircraft carriers. Even China, a...

I'm glad that you asked. You're welcome!!!

You have quintessentially answered your own question. Nothing left for me to do than whack off from the sidelines... I genuinely hope that Sunny Leone's career in Bollywood falls down headfirst so that she continues to do **** in Hindi.... You have no idea what I am talking about...

They won't have much to assassinate!!! Jokes aside, the NSA did look into the **** collections of people they wanted to discredit. True story.

I'd be concerned about the **** I download than any militant plot!!! That said, the Palestinian issue is seen, in both India's and the rest of globe's viewpoint, as a fundamental human rights affair and not any extremist religious conflict. Nobody can harass you for any political view on the...

Nothing to fear unless you've something to hide!!! I'm certain you have never stated anything extremist like our "more Muslim than anyone else" Pakistani brethren. Being an atheist, I'd support all and any conversations instigated by religious institutions to be monitored.

:lol: NYPD Will Keep Spying in the Muslim Community With Undercovers, Informants - The Daily Beast Careful on what you care to share in your next Islamist meeting lest you find yourself in Gitmo!!! Keep telling yourself that, hadji!!! I apologize. I never realized that Amrika tere abbu ki...

I'm sure that you understand the difference between a slang derivative and formal vernacular. Thanks for the laughs!!!

Untrue. American authorities, understandably, did single out Mohammedans for scrutiny and interrogation. Unfortunately, the courts sided with the law enforcement agencies and deemed their actions right. Business & Financial News, Breaking US & International News | Reuters.com

I fail to see how abuses could be subjective. Unless it has wildly different connotations in Kerala, calling someone an SOB is regarded as an abuse anywhere in India, regardless of the intended humor behind it. Was I personally offended by the passage? Not really. But it was the language and not...
