JPR: One of my friends was posted to the US Consulate in Bombay as a Visa Officer, a real one, and her husband accompanied to work at the Indira Gandhi Institute for Developmental Research. No BS, but factually, I gathered that they, contrary to their expectations, are mal-treated by the loquacious Indian bureaucrats and that they remain very frustrated right from the top to the bottom. Americans want to go to a third-world country to receive top treatment and influence local policy, but Indian bureaucrats have consistently looked down upon these Americans. Ten years of sojourn in India on a consular appointment is a killing punishment. My friend returned from India in a year and resigned from her post in the US state department, which she had gotten into through tough competition!! Is Dipy still employed, in your judgement?
