There is no possible way they did not know they were applying for asylum- and if they did not they should never have stood up in court and lied that they were being persecuted in India(either way they lied at least once). The Indian government should never try to defend a citizen who clearly breaks the law. The vast majority of Indians who go to the US are their legally and the system would be a joke if these guys are allowed to return. Actually they are lucky the US gives automatic citizenship to anyone born there otherwise there 'brillant' son would be stateless. I hope these people are shuned in India for insulting India by claiming to be a refuge.
