Readers must be aware of the current Devyani Khobragade imbroglio (I wrote about it when it was first known).
In brief she is the Indian consul general in New York City and is alleged to have cheated on the stated salary of her Indian housemaid. She is charged with falsifying documents and paying an employee below the state minimum wage. The Indian Govt is really ticked off since she was handcuffed, stripped and body cavity searched. Among measures of retaliation, India has launched an investigation into the salaries paid to local domestics by American diplomats in India. Can you imagine the red faces of the US diplomats when it becomes public knowledge that they are paying way less to them than what their State Dept is being billed for. Roland Toronto.
