Yes, what exactly is the point behind this article? Doesn't even qualify as a rhetorical piece. Appears more like mindless ranting. The author is understandably concerned about her daughter being removed far away from home. But, that is no reason to be condescending. If that is unintended, she should now realize that it appears very much so.
I am really glad that the author did not lose sleep about snake charmers charming her daugher away. Equally disconcerting is the thought of her daugher having to evade cows, cowdung, potholes, elephants and people dressed as Indian Gods getting in the way of her child's daily commute to school. Oh! my, the travails of the author probably makes her vicerals churn in an inextricable vortex of leviathan suffering!
Since the author's daughter was very much resolved to visit India, a better idea would have been to send her bubblewrapped rather than waste all our time by writing a thoughtless article.
