Our man Noushad has something else that is going against him, he is from South India or for the politicians in Delhi… a madrasi.. not worth a dime to them.

Last year, China gave Angola, its second-largest oil supplier after Saudi Arabia, a $2 billion oil-backed loan to help repair its war-ravaged national infrastructure. Such loans come with none of the lectures on human rights, good governance, religious freedom and fiscal reform that accompany U.S. assistance. In fact, China has courted oil-rich nations such as Sudan, Venezuela and Iran that are on the outs with Washington, even dangling the possibility of using its United Nations Security Council veto to protect them against sanctions. China last year repeatedly blocked U.N. attempts to punish Sudan for failing to stop atrocities in its Darfur region. China owns a 40 percent stake in the major oil consortium drilling in Sudan, and it buys half of Sudan’s crude exports. Eyeing Nigeria’s oil fields, China has offered Lagos some $7 billion in investments and said it may sell the country fighter jets, too. Iran, which won pledges from China last year for $70 billion worth of oil and natural gas deals, also enjoys vital support from Beijing. Iran now appears confident that it can resist pressure from the European Union and the United States over its nuclear program, certain that China will veto any attempt to impose U.N. sanctions.

nice!! as long as indians do go there and work there, indian govt. should care about such individual cases. it is not an accident that americans do get away with a lot of stuff there – the legal system there only matters so much, if the person belongs to a country that has clout, that person has still a chance. This is precisely the reason indian govt should deal with issues like this. this is the way the countries say certain practices are unacceptable. India cannot change the legal system in many countries, but it can try to protect its citizens.
