Too many questions!
US refuses visa to ex-IISc chief, member of PM panelThis was the first news I read today morning. It was very disturbing considering the fact that the scientist concerned is at very high position in Indian government and thus, the refusal can be seen as an insult to India. And this is not an exception. In fact such cases have increased exponentially since 9/11.
We had our Defence minister stripped at US airport in the name of security check. Many Indians, including celebrities, politicians and scientists are treated unfaily by US authorities especially during visa application. Government protested. But that's all. No further change in the US attitude or policies.
Do we Indians tend to take things lightly? Has years of British rule ingrained a kind of inferiority complex in Indian psyche, that we tend to think it is justified? Or is it the coveted US life, which precedes dignity? Even after these insulting incidents why does one see flocks outside US consultes?
Well these are the questions which occur to my scrupulous mind, whenever I think about going to US for MS. Will I be one of that herd lingering in front of the US Embassy? Don't Indians have respect, even after the progress it has made ( One can relate this to the recent rejection to takeover bid from Arcelor to Mittal Steels). Are the Westeners trying to undermine Asians? And we Indian are doing are just accepting it?
Too many questions, but no answers!

hey ninu
money is the only answer why indians wanna go US.
but i think Mittal has shown wat Indians r,
may be Arcelor is witty but he knows where he stands, i mean no where in front of mittal.
also these days US is not considered land of English but its something like Mumbai for those Biharis, and u see Thackeray works equally for keeping them out.
Ya, till US is concerned, then its good that more Indians go there bcoz i dont think its a Brain Drain in India but rather a step towards making them Dependent on Indians and may be Chinese in near future.
viraj
As long as supply (Indians wanting to go to US) is greater than the demand for them, US can afford to do whatever they want with their immigration policy cuz they know there are 10 others waiting in line to hog that *visa*.
