India retaliates

[Star Wars]

-All US diplomats must submit details of salaries paid to their servants, maids, gardeners and other domestic servants to the Indian authorities.

Since the US embassy is considered US soil, it expects that all indian workers have been paid as per US labour laws. {basically, this would probably incriminate every US official in india} . Smart move by India ,

That corrupt fraudia Indian diplomat thought she was in India...paying just $4 an hour when even minimum hourly wages are around 11$.

The diplomat herself doesn't get paid that much - remember, she is paid by the govt of India. Most diplomats from India and other not so rich countries pay their staff well below minimum wage, because what is minimum wage in the US is beyond the means of govt employess in India.

It is not just Indians. That's what all diplomats from poorer countries do. The diplomatic corps of India has unanimously said so. Do you think a pakistani mid ranking employee in the US would pay american wages to his or her nanny, when he or she gets paid in pakistani rupees by the GoP? Unless you are ok with nannies earning more that the diplomats who employ them...

Give respect and take respect. As simple as that. They handcuffed her infront of her children and later stripped searched here and had put along with druggists and sex offenders. In India our police tie criminals in long rope so I would not be surprised if some US diplomat will soon be arrested and tied in a long rope and taken to some filthy police station through public. And believe me its very much possible this time if US won't apologies.

If US diplomat violate Indian law, he or she should subject of Indian law enforcement treatment. Just wait till US diplomat commit a crime in India then return the favorite as India government with the power to do so.

Haha, that's interesting. However, that also means that they are not doing anything illegal as per Indian law, and the GoI or Indian courts cannot proseute them, only american courts can.

though i liked the over-reaction or action according to different people.
But this is also interesting
"The US should accommodate that aspect, otherwise “We also know who all have brought in their gay partners and on what grounds they were given visas though there is a law against it in India. We can’t talk about it because this law is controversial and outdated but if the US wants to go to this extent, then this law and several other options are there,’’ said the officials."

Since they cited their rules over our diplomats, we can do the same over their diplomats. Tit for tat.

OK, this is getting out of control.
First it was the handcuffs, then the strip search, now the drug addicts.

India government should issue an official statement about what the specific complaints are and stop this media storm.
