Apparently the Indians, a nation still struggling under a caste system. Are outraged that their diplomat was strip searched, and thrown in with the GEN-POP. Serves her right I would say.
She lied to us, and has mistreated her employee.

The prosecutor in the U.S. government’s case against an Indian diplomat charged in New York with visa fraud related to her treatment of her housekeeper expressed dismay Wednesday over the direction the case has taken.
Indian officials summoned U.S. Ambassador Nancy Powell, took away U.S. diplomats’ identification cards that gave them diplomatic benefits and removed security barriers outside the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi.
But Bharara said Khobragade’s treatment was justified. He cited an 11-page complaint that alleged she had promised in the visa application under which her housekeeper moved from India to the United States to pay her at least $9.75 per hour, the minimum wage in New York, and to require that she work no more than 40 hours per week.
But the complaint alleges that Khobragade then had the housekeeper, who has been identified as Sangeeta Richard, sign a second contract, which paid her less than $3.31 per hour and required that she work much longer hours.
The second contract, which was not to be revealed to the U.S. government, “deleted the required language protecting the victim from other forms of exploitation and abuse” and also deleted language that said Khobragade agreed to abide by U.S. laws, he said.
Khobragade is charged with one count of visa fraud – which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison – and one count of making false statements – which carries a maximum sentence of five years.
