This article is not based on correct fact. There are procedures and rules which are available even for the non green card holders. USA is the most civilized country in the world with judiciary system unparalleled in the world. You can challenge any authority, even the president, in the court which is not possible in India. The incident reported in this article might have happened because of some incidents which we don't know. It will be inaccurate to equate everyone with the poor fellow.

It is certainly true that the American legal service can deliver justice. But what is less remarkable is the injustice suffered by Nandy and a celebrated case in Guru Maharaj. Maharaj's case has attracted the whole of the British establishment including the British Government pointing to a miscarriage of justice. Despite that and many years Maharaj has been incacerated in jail, a recent review refused his release even though he is close to death. Don't be so blinded. Maharaj is a British citizen for whom the British Government has only lately wokened up to his plight. Maharaj's misfortune is that he is a Hindu whose fate the Indian media has totally ignored, and except for the BBC, the British media was not interested either. A case of a white nanny charged with murder in the USA some years back rose the shackles of the British media that the spot light turned on the US justice and she won her release by the court of public opinion. Charity should begin at home. The Indian Government has been happy to call on the help of Indians abroad and we have responded, perhaps not as generously as I would have liked. I did not see Dr Singh lose any sleep over Maharaj as he did with Haneef though. When it comes to Hindus, I expect Singh and the Indian Government do great deal for them they have done hithertoo. I am perhaps whistling in the wind, but I may well see the end of the present Government in the not to distant future.
