An update on the bizarre India/US rift, which seems to have been more or less resolved.
The article gives a good synopsis of the entire affair.

Diplomatic immunity is sacrosanct, and a basic standard of civilised conduct in world diplomacy. The US under Obama is turning into a banana republic.
To: mojito
Not sure what the true story is, but the maid definitely has ulterior motives (to stay in the US) and I think the US Attorney, who is from India, also has an agenda.

I don’t see the US doing much of anythng to make this right. India is not some banana republic. They are one of our close allies. This clap trap over how much she pays her housekeeper is really small ball.

Yes, India is a banana republic just like US. Different classes of people are protected, why the commons and less are thrown to the wolves.

We have to mollify India, otherwise we would not get any tech support for healthcare.gov.

She already had diplomatic immunity, which is sacrosanct within the Law of Nations. In the old days, the Mongols sacked Baghdad and executed its emir by rolling him up in a carpet and trampling him to death with their horse after he killed one of their diplomats. Similarly, the Mongols also chased another potentate over a thousand miles before capturing and killing him by pouring molten silver down his throat for killing another one.
Messing with diplomats is not something you just want to do.

Not true. India is a world power and manufacturing giant. They are also our ally in a dangerous part of the world.

She worked at the consular and had no recognized immunity from the State Department.

I think india is smelling the gay pedophile State Department mafya commissars. Sending these spies of the UN packing is a good move. They should do so with others too.

India has already its own problems with its poors getting pimped for inadequacy.
They do not want another US feminist homosexual tyrant bum to add to the force of the indigents.
They know who Obama is. As the movie by their compadre d’Souza explains well: 2016: obama America
India might be banana, but it does not want to stay banana.

” India is not some banana republic. “ - Yes, India IS A BANANA Republic.
India is a Socialist , heavily corrupt, racist country. They still have the UNTOUCHABLES.
Do not be fooled by their elections. Communist countries have elections, see Venezuela
