Dear Sir, it is really sad what happened to your kids and family. But, I would say what happened was right. Situation is called "PAPERS NOT IN ORDER", which means you are NOT ALLOWED to enter in the country. You people think India is a garden state and you can do whatever you can, just because you have got few bucks now. If your kids would have been allowed to enter, then also you would have complained and you would have bragged to your fellow NRIs how you made Indian immigration do what you wanted. This has nothing to do with French people. They were allowed because they were tourists and their tone was of request not yelling that you did. India has changed and you NRIs also need to change otherwise LAW will do what has to be done (that includes deportation)
