India-US Row Escalates Over Arrest Of Diplomat In New York

The arrest of an Indian diplomat amid claims she had lied on a visa form for her domestic worker has turned into a major row between Washington and Delhi with India’s national security adviser calling her treatment “despicable and barbaric”.

India on Tuesday summoned the US ambassador and announced that it was withdrawing a series of diplomatic privileges to US officials. It also reopened a road that runs past the US embassy in Delhi but which for several years has been blocked off for security reasons. Several Indian officials declined to meet with members of a visiting US delegation.

“It is despicable and barbaric,” National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon told the Press Trust of India news agency.

Here's an idea. Pull all the customer service jobs in India back to the US. See how fast they reconsider.

India doesn't understand that the police in this country salivate at the chance to arrest women and children. They LIVE for the opportunity to strip search them and do the vaginal inspections (because they regularly find .45's and Glocks inside those little girls).
As far as those customer service jobs, that's EXACTLY what the USA needs --- thousands more part time, minimum wage jobs. You know, the ones that pay so well, the employee has to collect welfare so the billionaire owners don't have to sacrifice a Hawaiian vacation (being down to their last 8 billion dollars).
