The School VISA fraud worked on 2 levels - a) India had permitted 16 visa's for school teachers in Delhi and accorded tax exemption for them.

As part of 'reciprocal agreements', India should either shut down the School altogether, or now demand an equivalent plot of land in Washington to run a CBSC school and 'Indian Center', wherein we could start a Tandoori joint and Udupi Restaurant, open to the public, and yes !! stock Cuban cigars in...
