Devyani Khobragade incident: What's your take?
Here's an overview of the incident from what I've read so far...
DK is a mid-level consular officer, who get's paid ~$6-7k a month. She hired a nanny for ~$550-600K a month + some bonus. On US visa papers, she noted $4500 a month. She is being charged with human exploitation and human trafficking. Indian officials (and Indian civilians) are enraged that an Indian diplomat is being tried in US courts. They are saying she should be granted diplomatic immunity. They are saying that the US officials mistreated her after the arrest, which they deny. What's your take? |

Re: Devyani Khobragade incident: What's your take?
Just an FYI...it is close to impossible to survive on $500 a month in a metro area, forget about raising a family.

Quote:
1. In diplomatic enclave LOCAL LAWS do not apply. 2. Was there coercion or was that what the nanny asked for? 3. How many hours per day? 4. HOW does it justify a STRIP SEARCH? 5. Yashwant Sinha wants "same sex" partners arrested (from US diplomats re: 377). What is the connection here? 6. Why same sex.. was DK given a BJ forcibly by a member of the same or similar sex? 7. HT wants a diplomat arrested "eye for an eye concept" just for shits and giggles. Err.. with details as disjoint as this you want a reasonable opinion? Kallu.. ek peg mere ko bhi de naa!! Pliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!!

Quote:
When officials (especially US officials) make an arrest, they ensure they have their ducks lined up. They know the charges and probably have sufficient evidence to take her to court. They can't make arrests based on a whim or ESP. They have a case. Indians are thinking that this is a tu-tu-mein-mein ki ladai...which it's not. |

Re: Devyani Khobragade incident: What's your take?
it is not a criminal act, so she has diplomatic immunity. I think India is doing right by replying in kind.. we should arrest a few americans as well on some frivolous charges.
That Yashwant Sinha suggestion.. again you didn't read the whole thing Pelu bhai.. only recently SC banned gay sex in India, so American diplomat's same sex partner can be arrested under law.. I say lets do it. |

Re: Devyani Khobragade incident: What's your take?
The point is THEY CANNOT.. that is what diplomatic immunity means. They do not have the juristiction. I am still seeing it unfold.. (just saw her she is hot.. err.. not hot as in heroine hot but errr CFAFB kinds).. and tell yaa there is more to this than it appears. So lets keep the discussion alive... okey!!

The nanny and her husband are witnesses against her. They probably have pressed charges against her...I don't know the whole story. She is a high-profile diplomat. I'm sure US officials were well aware of what they were doing before they took this step. Yes, there may be ulterior games going on, but that's a totally different game. You still have to play by the rules, else you lose. |

Re: Devyani Khobragade incident: What's your take?
An excellent article on the issue in DNA..
We all stand corrected.. apparently diplomatic immunity applies only with respect to acts performed for the consulate. Quote:

Re: Devyani Khobragade incident: What's your take?
DK could have got some Puerto Rican nanny in NY for 1000 a month. For saving $400 she went to all this trouble of falsifying papers and fraudulently obtaining visas. For this I dont think she gets diplomatic immunity. Also, I am sure she is not the only one doing this. She must learnt the ropes from other diplomats in the same boat, but they probably keep their maids and nannys happy.
BTW, Was the nanny's husband also in the US? On what visa?

Re: Devyani Khobragade incident: What's your take?
I cannot afford to pay minimum wages to a maid for 10 hours a day , everyday. I don't hire a maid for 10 hours a day , everyday.
I just call her once in every 2 weeks for three hours. Same applies to anyone else in USA. This is not India. You need to follow law of land. The bitch deserved it. As far as strip search is concerned, she is hot.... I would strip search her...... ![]() But seriously, if you are arrested, they take your mugshot, and treat you like any other criminal, even if you maybe bernie Madoff or Mel gibson. India , cannot retaliate because , India has no balls. India relies on USA for everything ....Including treatment of politicians. So if oyu want to retaliate then get your Sonia Gandhi treated in Bilaspur not New york, where this bhangi women was arrested. I did not raise the SC ST card, someone else already did........
