Anna John on Devyani Khobragadehttp://www.theroot.com/articles/culture/2013/12/let_s_get_some_perspective_on_india_s_diplomat_s_arrest.html
Sangeeta Richard had always wanted to work abroad. Her wish came true when she became a nanny for Devyani Khobragade, India's deputy consul general in New York. Unfortunately, according to prosecutors, Khobragade had no intention of paying Richard minimum wage to comply with American wage laws, and she committed visa fraud by asserting she would.
Last week, Khobragade was arrested, and that’s when the real drama began.
