The after-Math (Devyani - US spat) AND 150th anniversary of Vivekananda

All actions between countries are for a benefit that accrues at the end of the said action.

Let us now list out the benefits of the action taken by the US when they unceremoniously arrested an Indian Diplomat:

1. All extra privileges given by India Unilateraly to US diplomats withdrawn - Math - India 1 - US - 0
2. All US diplomats in India now made to give accounts on their spouses status of employment/ otherwise with respect to Visa - India 1 - US - 0
3. All commercial establishments in the US embassy premises under scrutiny - India 1 - US - 0
4. the Diplomat who helped the maids family removal to the US returned back to the US - India 1 - US - 0
5. US ambassador cancels holiday trip to Nepal as all extra benefits have been withdrawn - India 1 - US - 0
6. Local Indians discover they have a spine - India 120billion - US - 0

For point 6 alone one is happy as this episode has kindled an outrage resulting in self belief and faith - the kind vivekananda talked about BUT people never understood UNTIL this sad episode happened.
