India-US Strategic News and Discussion
Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
what do these ID cards give ? special access into airports ? airport VIP lounge access ? backstage party pass ?
police lets them off for speeding or reckless driving ?
its high time we followed the rules ourselves and stopped making exceptions to anyone.

Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
What if the goal was to get a "reaction" from GOI? It's far fetched to think that US has not gamed the consequences of their action.
Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
It's their sheer arrogance, they gamed or not gamed is not the question. Her father said that there is more to it than meets the eye. So other angles must be probed. So maybe she gained some enemies through her line of work and nature of work. Or maybe Sangeeta Richard gained some powerful allies who were waiting for such a chance to teach Mrs Devyani a lesson.
In a hostile country, one must be careful to not leave any weak links. Because ultimately the USA has not humiliated Devyani, they have humiliated India.

The world has changed.saumitra_j wrote: In the end, to repeat what Dr Kalam had said: Strength respects strength. India is weak currently and it has to undergo this nonsense until such time that we are able to demonstrate our power (economic as well as military).
Violence, bravado, insults are the norm now. The US does it under some law pretext or global terrorism pretext. The Chinese are a bit more raw. The Pakis indulge in primitive & neanderthal acts. India seems to think its passive stance will be seen as being responsible but what is happening is that it is misconstrued as weak. In US culture, if you are weak, you will be bullied. That is what is happening here.
I am reminded of Hainan incident and the meeting of BUsh with Chinese premier in the aftermath.
A huge, at least 7 ft tall Chinese guard, with very broad shoulders made the customary introduction of Bush to the premier. And Bush is short by any standards short. That is the kind of overt message, especially after a tense incident, that China wants to send to the US because that is what the US understands.
Please don't forget Obama here. There might not be approval but there is a blind eye being turned here.
When Obama was here, wasn't there a scuffle between US diplomats & Indian security guards. They come here & insult us in OUR parliament.
Be it w/ TSP , in Visa norms, in jobs, in WTO trade negotiations, with GM, with Medicine , every key issue - it seems US & India don't seem eye to eye.
Yet this thread is called "India-US Strategic News and Discussion" . There is nothing strategic & neither is there any need for hyphenation. The sooner we realize this, the better for us.
Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
One cant help feeling that US is frustrated in Afghanisthan.Their munna is not going to get a free ride.The Afghans are prepared to fight it out.Either the US munna is going to be 'exposed' or Ameer khan credibility will go for a toss and amirkans will be exposed by a muslim nation for supporting a rogue state.They are angry at hindoos for braving it out and the monkey trap is closing in on pakhanastaan.
The US crowed about Soviet invasion of Afghanisthan,tommorrow they will accused openly by Afghans for destroying their nation by colluding with pakis in their evil deeds.

Unfortunately, not necessary that it has been gamed.. Even in the US, left hand does not know often that right hand is up its own rear.
This action by the NY police however is unconscionable. They have plenty of experience dealing with diplomats etc. This was deliberate, public and targeted. Like I said, something is up - maybe just a local bit of high-handedness that has backfired big time because some ignorant hick did not realise that India is not all starving children and emaciated cows - update has not occurred; but I doubt it very much. They don't simply pick up people without knowing antecedents, and Deputy Consul General is a fairly high position locally as these things go ...

Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
Unless an anal probe can be done on a couple of US guinea pigs diplomats. The message can not be sent across. Weak and feeble response like refusing to meet Congressmen, who have nothing to lose whether you meet or not meet them, will send the kind of feeble response that a prey sends to it's hunter who has it's canines at your jugular, and it kicks its feet in the air.

Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
Who the f**k cares if the US has gamed consequences are not.
Call the consul to thePMO's, Foreign ministry office, ensure that there are no chairs for him to sit, make a statement, ask him to leave, make him wait without any Indian staff in the corridors, close all other doors, not allow his vehicle to be on time after the appointment, allow him to board the vehicle, make security staff to close the exit gates, make him disembark his car, search the car, make him wait in the sun, a boot or two on the car, ppointing weapons in a non-friendly way.
That should do the needful. For SRK, APJ, for the diplomat - we owe them this.

Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
Think about it, the diplomat was "processed" outside the "cage", attended by arresting officers ityadi, probably in queue with some hookers and pushers and a bunch of desk-bound donut-muncher burnouts around. Maybe even some of our embassy staff turned up at the Precinct. Wonder if she was deloused too.... you never can be sure with these damned third-worlders. The whole process must have taken about an hour while Ms. K reeled out diplomatic privileges and calls flooded the precinct. Didn't ONE of the cops/attorneys think there was something wrong about treating a diplomat like this, even if she like.... chucked a Trishul into the Mayor of New York?
They went too far this time IMO.
PS: I think we Yinduozhens got the worst Chinese snub ever...... they tested their biggest H-bomb when President Venkataraman was touring the country. Apparently we offended the Great Han by testing a little Prithvi the day before the visit IIRC.

Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
Yep, this was not some low-level paandu's whim. It was surely from the higher-ups and the obvious target is dhesh, the lady diplomat seems to be just a casualty. Maybe she was chosen because she is well-connected. So, the the questions are:Anand K wrote:Think about it, the diplomat was "processed" outside the "cage", attended by arresting officers ityadi, probably in queue with some hookers and pushers and a bunch of desk-bound donut-muncher burnouts around.

Why now? Whom are they trying to send the message to?
or is it just a routine Q-tiyapa from the Amirkhan?
It goes without saying that regardless of what and why, dhesh has to give some kind of reply to this otherwise this is only going to increase.
I haven't seen anything that the sarkaar has done recently to upset Amirkhan. So, why this kind of blatant provocation? Is it to test the reactions? If so, why now? The incumbent sarkaar is expected to end its term in a few months and a new regime is expected to come. Wouldn't it be a better time to test the reaction when the new regime has come to power?
Habal saar,
what is the diplomat's family saying? According to them, what are the real reasons for this?
Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
Suspend all Non-essential military imports from USA for one year!
Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
Narendra Modi should have been made Prime Minister yesterday. 6 months may be too late. It seems a routine thing, once you take a nanny to US, ofcourse she will try to stay on. And also abscond, or commit visa frauds if the need be. Only solution is not to take any nannies. Just maybe nanny has some links to powerful EJ lobbies in US, who can bear pressure on NYPD and law-enforcement to commit atrocities on diplomats to teach them a lesson not to mess with EJs. Maybe Devyani has blocked EJ visas in past.
Father is crying in front of cameras, basically showing up helplessness of current regime. Poor guy.

DK was humiliated with strip search and was kept in a cell with drug addicts. She definitely did something which must be extremely patriotic and pissed off USG. I salute her no matter what. I guess she exposed some ongoing operation my FBI and ended someone's career or/and jeopardised american interests.
What is interesting is the MEA response here. She must have something STILL in her possession which is acting as her insurance. Else, this would have been handled in a different way. We will see more of this.

Devyani live: Remove barricades outside embassy, India tells US
2. 55 pm: India asks for details of salaries paid to domestic help
The row over diplomat Devyani Khobragade's arrest has intensified further. India has now asked for details of salaries paid to domestic help, gardener and other Indian staff in US consulates.
US policy consistent:One set of rules for own people.Another set of rules for the rest of the world.Devyani Khobragade just another example

The Indian government has also asked US officials to remove barricades outside the Delhi embassy. India has also stopped all import clearances for US embassy including food, liquor.

Devyani Khobragade's arrest: angry India takes reciprocal steps
US diplomats in consulates across India have been asked to surrender identity cards issued to them and their families, which entitle them to special privileges. India has also withdrawn all airport passes for consulates and embassies and asked the Delhi police to remove barricades outside the US embassy.
"The law of strict reciprocity is in place, if they say Ms Khobragade had limited immunity then so will US officials" diplomatic sources told NDTV.
<snip>
India is also asking for details like salaries paid to Indian staff employed in US consulates, including those working as domestic helps with the families of American officials.
New Delhi has also asked for the visa details of all teachers at US schools, what they're being paid and their bank accounts.
Import clearances for the American embassy have also been removed, in what are being described as the "initial steps" in India's reciprocal moves.

Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
Important FACT No.1:
Devyani Khobragade had registered a complaint in a New Delhi court earlier this year against her domestic help Sangeeta Richard after she was harassed by the maid with demands for more money.
Delhi Court issued a Non-Bailable arrest warrant against Richard.
In September this year the Delhi High Court issued an injunction restraining the maid from instituting any action or proceedings against Khobragade outside India.
So Question: When she knows that this Richard is greedy why did DK had to sponsor her to US? Are there no other maids in India?

Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
One point to consider.....
This "strip searching" means she was really stripped and frisked by NYPD Amazons? I'm asking this because an India Today (?) follow up on George Fernandes's stripping claim found that he was merely asked to remove jacket and take off his belt at check in (Don't dignitiaties have separate entry lanes? ). While it was surely not kosher to treat the Indian DM like that, it was far away from you know.... stripping.
My point is, charges and it's merits aside, was Devyani Khobragade treated like a diplomat should in such situation?

Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
When the personal comfort level of the US diplomats in India is reduced (a howl of protest will quickly resonate up foggy bottom)... Many of these guys are certainly doing one thing or another not quite strictly in line with either US or Indian law - payment for their personal house-help for instance, working hours is another. The airport pass (ID) withdrawal (including diplomats' families) will definitely have a solid impact; there's lots of little things like this... And that's just a start.
The US has made a mistake here (an unnecessary one). It will have to walk it back, and it will. Stupid things like this happen now and then. The party in error will pull back with appropriate language, and matters will be resolved.
What I'm curious about is why Devyani? I mean, this is a straightforward affair - and to say the case is not related to her consular tasks is absolutely ridiculous. As far as I know, diplomats have committed all sorts of crimes in the US and gotten away under diplomatic immunity - while, here for what is apparently just a payment dispute (alleged), she is cuffed in front of her kids in public outside their school and strip-searched? Makes no sense...

Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
they would not have sent her to US if she was remotely on target list for the multitude of US intelligence fronts. So that looks unlikely. This maybe a message to her bosses & Sangeeta Richard just happened and came about as a handy stick. We don't know what her bosses did, in Afghanistan or wherever, but whatever they did it was good. This is the heart & viscera of the real western anti-India lobby.Altair wrote:She was responsible for Pakistan desk in the Pakistan-Afghanistan-Iran division of the Ministry of External Affairs couple of years back.

Just wondering how the party in error (the US) can just pull it back with appropriate language. Even if they apologize, its an apology after humiliating her in public.
