Surprisingly for last so many years India used to figure among half a dozen nation of whom US population had positive view of. It would be interesting to see the Indian opinion too.
Why should the US local opinion matter to dhesh and bhaarathiyas? And if the local opinion in US could be so easily upped or downed, then it is simply a manufactured opinion(manufactured by its media). So, its anyway useless.
Anyway, here is the situation:
Amirkhan on behalf of maid alleges lesser wages. But, amirkhan itself inflicts state sponsored rape on foreign diplomat based on merely allegations(no court verdict yet). Tell me, which is the bigger problem? Lesser wages or state sponsored rape of foreign diplomat?
Even if someone is a US citizen, he should still be concerned more about the state sponsored rape issue than the lesser wages thing. Because obviously rape is a bigger crime than lesser wages, isn't it. And a state sponsored rape is more serious issue than some private person's crime, no? So, all US citizens also must be very incensed with this state sponsored rape than lesser wage because someday this rape may be administered to them also. Similarly, all those living in US must also be concerned with this rape.
As for lesser wages(and connecting it to slavery), as someone pointed out, foreign research students in science are not paid this minimum wage and are exploited in US. Their research is also copyrighted by the US and the researchers denied the name and the money that follows their research. This is truly neo-slavery. Similarly, IT workers from dhesh are also paid quite less. And US never strip-searched those owners.
As anujan saar's brilliant posts points out, the amirkhan justice system is deeply biased in favor of whites and against the non-whites. The number of blacks in prisons serving huge number of years is mind-boggling. It is just another form of neo-slavery. There was an article on this exact topic of how the slavery is continued(specially in south) in this new form. The inmates of prison are used just as slaves would be used in the past. I'll try to find that article and post it here.
This case again brings out the cruel and barbaric nature of amirkhan's justice system. If these are the 'standard procedures' then all those who stay in amirkhan must be very wary. I am sure exploitations in prisons or during custody happen in other countries also. But, amirkhan seems to be the only country that has legalized it(i.e. justifies it). In other countries, such exploitation happens despite the laws. In amirkhan, it happens due to law.
Anyway, the simple fact that the amirkhan has gone to the length of frisking away the maid's husband from dhesh in a hush hush manner(very similar to frisking away an asset or intelligence officer from enemy country) should make it amply clear that this issue is not about wages at all. I mean how many underpaid maids are not only given asylum, but even their family is taken to amirkhan and given asylum? Is amirkhan really ready to give asylum to all underpaid maids and their families(and even pay for their travel)? Remember, there was a case against the maid's husband in dhesh, so to make him pass the restrictions, there had to be a pull from higher authorities. Do you think this kind of pull is used for any common maid and its family? Whom are you kidding? Do you really not understand the issue? And if you do, then why do you continue to act as if this is a lesser wage case?
