Oh people people apply for a work Visa to India? And India denies it?? I am surprised! Ok sarcasm apart, I didn't think getting a work Visa to India would be so difficult but yes the bureaucracy is strangling. I had to visit the Passport office 3 times to renew my passport. It's like your whole future depends on the whims and fancies of a single government official. And there is no coordination between different government departments. For instance India has come with this new SSN like Unique Identification Number (UID) thing called Aadhaar (Support in Hindi). Government says it is a valid proof of identity, it says so on the Passport web site as well as a valid documents accepted for proof of address but as my colleague recently experienced, the passport officers flatly refuse to accept Aadhaar card as proof of address! If you want your passport, produce the document that I ask for, I don't care what the web site says!
