To those people that are taking a higher moral ground here and who claim to have never experienced anything like this in India or TIA:
It is not the plight of Dr. Gajurel that particularly enrages me. It is the thousands and thousands of nepali migrants that either live in india or in the middle east that I really feel for, who are unaware of fees, laws, and lack of necessary skills. If you have traveled with them, you'll know that many of them can barely talk or write in english. I have personally helped many of them fill the forms at airports. It is bad enough that they get ripped at our own airports through our security personnel. I am sure you'll also see how they are treated in middle east airports but at least they don't get ripped like in new delhi. For someone living in US with comfortable lives, it is easy to say Avoid india, but it is not so easy for our fellow compatriots who toil blood tears and sweat just to save a few extra rupees. So, that avoid india route is probably not applicable to everyone. Please ponder over this.
Having heard in recent times the improvement in indian airport, this is a huge step backwards, and our outlook towards our neighbor shall not change very easily. I agree with Babal Khate that we need people in position to bring such issue in light, but i am not sure supporting Darshan Rauniar in US is going to change the fate in New Delhi. It has to come through common folks like us to start campaigns.
