Recently
you would have read enough news about an Indian deputy consulate general posted
in newyork, being charged with visa fraud and "strip-searched" & India's
agitation on protecting this IFS officer, in name of diplomatic immunity (
which actually applies to embassy officer only, not to consulate officer ref:
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-25458531 )
My view as a humanbeing on this... ( that's why my I
titled rhythmically to sound I neither support India nor USA, but viewed this
as someone in the middle, say Germany.)
Let's say this IFS officer were not
daughter of a powerful IAS officer and not wife of a newyork based
American born Indian winery owner cum professor. Do you think , India would have raised voice or stood by this
officer? If there were no existence of
IAS officer Mr. Uttam Khobragade, this issue wouldn’t have reached
Delhi. Why go there? Ms.Khobragade would have been posted in one of the
African countries, instead of USA :). Anyways my idea is not to talk about,
what these high officials can influence in India , but to talk about
something in a much simpler form.
The maid, who totally believed her employer and came to a
foreign country, leaving her family& beloved , to make some little
money to get rid of her poverty in home country, is soooo pathetic & in
need of help from India, I believe. No human right organizations raised
voice on her behalf yet, since India sings "diplomatic immunity"
tune.
It's quiet unfortunate when someone steals hard earned
money. This poor lady is looted by the prominent Women-right Advocate... Sad..
Right?
I would have respected this IFS officer, even if she was
charged on a corruption, looting money from another wrongful fellow, but not
definitely for a cheap act of stealing wages from her own maid. sorry that I am
using a word "stealing" here. But that's what it technically sounds
like. How is it ethical to cut down wages for an employee, against the
agreement or rule. What kind of life can someone lead in newyork with 3$/hour
wages. How pathetic it is???? This is heights of slavery!!!
