India Overreacted To Devyani's Arrest: U.S. Media
In an op-ed on CNN's website, Jeremy Carl, a research fellow at Hoover Institution in Stanford University, said India has overreacted to the diplomat's arrest.
"Even if India feels its diplomat was ill-treated, a responsible power does not inflame the situation, especially against an ally that happens to be the world's most powerful country," he wrote.
"There are many ways to show displeasure without putting the safety of American diplomats at risk. And there are more important moral and political issues that India has to address with the US that do not involve, if the charges are true, vindicating the inalienable right of India's diplomats to illegally import and underpay domestic servants," Carl said.
"...Even without being able to determine Khobragade's guilt or innocence with respect to the charges, l'affaire Khobragade shines an unflattering light on several elements of India's diplomacy and its politics of privilege.
"First, whether or not the charges and manner of arrest were proper, the intemperate reaction of the Indian government in response shows that, despite its status as an aspiring great power, India still frequently lacks the maturity on the world stage to behave like one," the article said.
