India is backward and arrogant thoughts

[LeJusticier]

The latest diplomatic row with us shows that India do not care the abused servant but the diplomat who was arrested

In an indictment, the grand jury said Khobragade had a contract to pay her Indian servant 30,000 rupees ($573) a month — in line with wages in India, but well below the US minimum wage.

The indictment said Khobragade, on a temporary work visa form for the servant, listed a monthly pay of $4,500. The indictment said the figure “did not match any actual income” — not that of the servant or that of Khobragade, after some media reports indicated that prosecutors may have mistakenly looked at the diplomat’s salary.

“Knowing that if the US authorities were told the truth about the actual terms of her employment agreement with the victim, Khobragade would not have been able to obtain a visa for the victim, Khobragade decided to make false statements to the US authorities,” the indictment said.

Do you think your beloved French pay the market price for the gold, Uranium, timber etc it obtains from Africa.
You would'nt dare call this imperialism/exploitation "backward".

That is a funny story. So the indian diplomat said in her visa form that she paid her servant/maid $ 9 an hour and she was actually paying her $3 an hour. Whats the big deal? Get over it. $3 in india is big deal. Americans just want to project their philosophy on the whole world. But I am glad of the result. She was kicked out of the country, as she should. Lesson learnt. Lets move on to Fat Christie's governor fiasco news.

The sad thing is India do not consider the outcast servant an indian citizen. All they worried was about crook diplomat and delusion of we are first world today no one can treat us like banan countries.

I'm glad someone had the common sense to sort this out diplomatically. We need a good relationship with India more than we need to punish this one Indian woman.

Yep. There are U.S. manufacturers that need Indian sweatshops and call centers.

As if Americans don't employ illegal immigrants whom they pay a few dollars per hour. That includes American corporations and even government.

India is expelling a US diplomat of similar rank.
