Hate? They've got missiles, nukes, a dirty little war with Pakistan, and many regional political challenges. It is not some lolcat site that takes PayPal, it is armies and central bank policies. They were caught with their intel pants down and their response was to make a show of unbuttoning their shirt. It's like a Tom Clancy story ghostwritten by Robin Williams. A little hate is warranted.

In short, like the USA, which does all of these at far greater scale? > A little hate is warranted. And apparently, a little racism and bigotry.

  I agree! It is exactly like the USA! Like the USA, the Indian foreign service needs to use modern security techniques. Not cargo culting with typewriters and walks in the park like a bad movie script. Indian is not a race or even an ethnicity. It is a geopolitical affiliation, like Londoner. Nor am I a bigot. If I could read Hindi, I could point you to the Indian IT discussion forums where the thousands of competent security specialists are ripping into their government in ways that make my comment look like high praise. My fury is nothing compared to the people being sold out by the imbeciles at the Indian embassy.

    Definitely agree with the premise of you comments though. The Indian govt. has been grossly negligent in the past. But with the size, bureaucracy, corruption and red-tape involved, it is incredibly hard for any generally-sane citizen to bring about change. Hopefully, thing will get better in the future. The next to-be-elected prime minister is a bit of hard nut and is expected to bring about change for the good.

    > Like the USA, the Indian foreign service needs to use modern security techniques. Absolutely, but as another HN user already replied to you: > Your comment is good. "Apu Fuck-knuckles" is not. You should change it while you can still edit. It completely occludes your otherwise decent comment. And please stop with the pointless arguments that "India isn't a race or even an ethnicity" (it isn't, but that's irrelevant) to somehow prove your original comment wasn't racist. By that logic, no one can ever be racist to Indians, because, hey, Indians don't have a race!
