Indian culture is undergoing some very disturbing trends:

India Gang Rape Victim Was Attacked Twice

India is over a billion people now, and I always get a feeling that we get only the tiniest sliver of news from that mass of human population.

I get a weekly email digest from International School Review. Following the arrest of that Indian diplomat in NYC recently, the Indian government is talking about reprisals toward Americans living in India, including teachers.

From the email digest:

The Indian government claims the manner in which the arrest was carried out is inhumane and barbaric. In response, they have revoked all diplomatic privileges for American Embassy personnel and removed protective barriers protecting the U.S. embassy. The Indian government says it will now examine what the American Embassy pays its Indian help and how much domestic help is paid by U.S. government diplomats. It was also announced that India plans to review the salaries, bank accounts and tax status of all American teachers working in International Schools throughout the country
