The Shocking Khobragade


 India has been deeply shocked by the arrest and cavity search of Devyani Khobragade, an Indian deputy consul general, in New York. From what I read she was arrested for lying on a visa application about her housekeeper's wages, which turned out to be less than $3 per hour. Khobragade was treated, she claims, like a common criminal.

We have plenty of underpaid workers already. The last thing we need is a lying fool from India's 1% cheating a housekeeper. The plain lack of decency to a worker is the part I find shocking. India wants this creep back. As far as I am concerned, they can have her.
