We have no proof of the french guy your are mentioning. All Indian staying abroad have same feeling like you I am not surprised.
Secondly your children are not Indian, please let me say this why on earth are you taking India for granted. I have visited US and UK many times but every time I go I enure if my documents are in place for atleast 10 time, the why are u taking India for granted. I am happy that the immigration officer has done his duty. Same thing has happened with some of my friend in US of A and they were deinied entry when they had valid visa. I feel sorry for your childeren that they had to suffer for you mistake and attitude towards my country. And sir its not a question of silent sleep, its a question of duty. If that officer had accepted bribe from you and allowed you people inside India it would have been a case for sleepless night for all Indians, because in that anyone can come here. Please stop making a big fuss and hiding ur mistakes.
