millions of Indians are 'fed up' one way or another, does the Gov. listen unless certain to get votes from it ?? also the family, in this case, are not your 'average' tourists or expats they sound a little unusual from the full text. |

I'm talking about the whole visa situation Bipat. It's becoming absolutely ridiculous to take a trip to India. And yet here we are, in the UK, surrounded by foreigners. And paying for most of them too!
Certainly the visa situation is crazy, and is also now affecting 1st generation Americans of Indian origin. Heard recently of relatives, retired, come back to India every year for 3 months, went to Egypt for a week, not allowed back into India. However with so many other overwhelming problems the Gov. has I don't see it will be a priority. |

And actually Bipat as a British Citizen, who has worked all her life, I am entitled to feel a little frustrated when neighbours of mine have lived here for the last 18 years, never worked, get their private rent paid for and have a better car than me. But here we go again, can't say a thing or the accusations start flying. And I am more than happy for whoever wants to emigrate to the uk, just put something in that's all I would ask. My parents are putting into the country they are 'guests' in and still treated like criminals! |

As to your parents, I have in the last 3 weeks been talking ++ to relatives about the situation of foreigners in India and find they are becoming more aware of the problem, the 'ordinary, man in the street' is appalled by the situation also. However the Government treats many ordinary Indians like criminals too, the lengths my brother-in -law (70 years old) had to go to to prove his ID to get me a Reliance 'dongle' were insulting. |

I'm sure they are Bipat. My frustration is not with the Indian people (we have Goan friends who are appaulled also) but the Indian Government. Not that ours are any better - soft touch are our lot.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
Quite so! Heidi and I have disagreed in the past, but I would defend her right to free speech and an opinion without reservation.
Your post was rude and insulting, without humour, and totally uncalled for. Get in touch with "Renegade", I suspect you have plenty in common. . |
