Devyani Khobragade: US was wrong, but India is being immature !!

DISCLAIMERI just discovered that Pro has plagiarized more than 95% of his text in the two previous rounds, when plagiarism goes against DDO standards.For example, this website(http://www.firstpost.com...) contains most of the text which Pro presented here including this paragraph:"However, the American scriptwriters who choreographed the Devyani episode apparently did not account for a strong and swift retaliation by India. After all, the Americans have been doing this routinely to prominent Indians – not just stars like Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan but also to political dignitaries like former President APJ Abdul Kalam, former Defence Minister George Fernandes and serving Indian ambassadors and top diplomats. The Americans never imagined that the Indian government which routinely allowed itself to be like a doormat in innumerable cases of humiliation would act so decisively in the case of a little known mid-level diplomat and the whole of India, cutting across the party lines, would erupt in support."Pro has used many propaganda and false allegations against the arrest itself, but has failed in proving that the accused should have had any special treatment, when that doesn't exist from an official capacity as her immunity is limited to her consular fuctions and to her consular functions only. I shall focus in this round on the point he raised about "strip-searching being disgusting."MY CASEA1- Strip-searching is a custom procedure not a sexual assault.The U.S. Supreme Court allows strip-searching for even people arrested for minor traffic offenses, as it is a custom procedure to ensure prison security and not something meant to assault or offend the person being searched[1]. Khobragade should have known she is under US laws when she came to the US. If she didn't like such laws, she had the freedom to leave the US and live abroad.A2- Khobragade was not stripped nakedThere is no reports on Khobragade being disrobed in prison, but searched like all convicts by being asked to remove some articles of clothing and to submit any personal belongings she had on her. This is nothing outrageous but something applied to all American citizens when being convicted of a crime and detained.A3- Strip-searching in Khobragade's case is necessaryKhobragade had to be searched as she proved in a previous occasion to be utteraly dishonest. There is no other way to ensure that she is not carrying documents that the US authorities would want to have, after she had previously lied under oath to cover up her horrible crime. Hence, it doesn't make sense for the US authorities to simply put her in the prison-cell without any searching. If Khobragade is that sensitive to being touched, she shouldn't have lived in a country where such standard procedures exist, to begin with.REBUTTALPro plagiarizes, "last February, Neena Malhotra was ordered to pay $1.5 million to her former maid for "barbaric" conditions. But there was no strip-search, no jail time and, therefore, no mass protests. So why this time in case of Devaynai khobragade."Rebuttal: Neena Malhotra left a year before she was convicted[2]. If she did not, she would have been arrested for what she has done. The US couldn't arrest her because she was out of the country (and not willing to return), so the best way was to apply a huge economic sanction. Yet I'm sure that if Neena Malhotra was arrested, she would also use her money and influence to cause a public outrage in India and put pressure on the US Justice System.Pro plagiarizes, "The Americans never imagined that the Indian government which routinely allowed itself to be like a doormat in innumerable cases of humiliation would act so decisively in the case of a little known mid-level diplomat and the whole of India, cutting across the party lines, would erupt in support."Rebuttal: I stand offended by such distasteful conclusion. It is not the Americans who are making the Indian government look bad, but the actions of the government's representatives, who collect money and own agricultural land in different states in the US, while exploiting poor Indian maids to satisfy their higher caste fetishes. It is that Indian government's history of condoning the abuse of women and poor people in India and abroad that makes it dishonorable, not the US, Pakistan or any other country.SUMMARYThe US was not wrong because...(1) Khobragade's diplomatic immunity did not involve personal/non-consular activities. [Point of agreement](2) Khobragade is convicted of a serious crime: Visa Fraud, blatant fabrications under oath in a US court of Law and a mistreatment of a domestic maid. This results usually in a 15 years sentence. [Point of agreement](3) The US followed standard customs and procedures in its arrest. Khobragade was treated equally to any American citizen with such charges. [Fact](4) Khobragade should have known the US laws and standard procedures before coming to the US. If she does not agree with strip-searching, she shouldn't have chosen the US the country in which she would increase her wealth and try to establish herself as a public figure that fights for "women rights."In summary, the US only enforced equality between American citizens, followed standard procedures, followed the agreement of diplomacy between the US and India and simply made a warranted arrest to further investigate a serious crime which involves the life and dignity of a poor Indian woman which the US protected from being further mistreated and underpaid.
