Is Dipy still employed, in your judgement? If your Q is about US consulate in india, I can almost guarantee that dipy was never employed there. If u are asking about his current status, I can almost guarantee that he is not employed and is probabaly not employable. Everyone will see right thru him and know that he is a malcontent and will most definitely spit in the dish that he eats out of.

Rational: 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? Thank you for a real life story of your friends who came back frustrated at the Indian bureaucracy. I accept it to that extent. There is more to this story than meets the eye. Why couldn't your friend get transferred to an European country like UK or any other developed country? I am given to understand that your friend resigned from such a plum position, just out of frustration from dealing with Indian BURROcrats. IMHO, that is a flimsy reason for resignation. One does not throw away a career just that easily. I feel sorry for her. 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. There is always an uneasy tension, when America wants to project her foreign policies through the consular office. But to be truthful to you, I have nothing but praise about the consular and immigration offices I went here in USA and abroad in Europe, Canada and India. Services were rendered to my satisfaction. Is Dipy still employed, in your judgement? I am not sure that he was a consular officer in India. His factual knowledge of politicians and elections in India is very up to date, but his opinions are antiIndian. He is probably an Indian who has as much interest in what is happening in India as I am. His syntax, use of words and phrases and absence of American Idioms and poor demonstration of his knowledge about America make me wonder about his claims that he is a lily white American -- in his own words. He should be a skilled veteran of Indian and American (suppressed) English, if I were to accept his claims. In my personal opinion, he should work for Pakistani Embassy in Washington DC. He is wasting time with us.
