That's exactly what we are!!! We dont need anyone to humiliate us .. we are good at doing it to ourselves.
Thats what the British exploited when they invaded India. Looking at the number of posts suporting the immigration officials, I wonder if there are really people who appreciate the hard and fast rules adopted by the Govt officials? or they were jealous because the kids belong to a NRI?
There are loop holes in every law to be exploited. If the official wanted to give you a hard time, he could give you irrespective of whether you have document or not. The author is not asking for a Maharaja treatment, he wanted more time to furnish the required documents, looks reasonable to me. He does accept his mistake of not bringing the documents. It it very sad to see so many people vent their anger at this poor guy, just because he is a NRI.
