Secondly, of course the airport officials are more polished than the cops and the paramilitary that is posted at the Borders.

If she was only allowed to travel by a certain route, then that information should be easily accessible and disseminated from the embassy and verified by the bus route operators at the time when someone buys a ticket from them. <br /><br />Seriously es rashtra mein chanakyun (meaning, son of Gold)ka tu sukha paraa hai, nalayakun ka tu jalapralaya (the apocalyptic great flood) hai. Immigration law officials in the UK are not any less through in their investigation but atleast they are professional in their conduct. <br />Seriously, because of the treatment meted to pakistanis and indians by the immigration officials on either side of the border, I think some would inevitably question the civility of the whole visiting country.<br />Behnji, hope ur stay in India is enjoyable and pl let us know if there was any follow-up to your complaint. <br />As an aside, I am much aabhari for your blog. I just found it today and it's great.

What you faced, is something that ordinary folk probably face every time they try and cross the border from either of the two countries. Which only makes it worse given the rampant corruption and harassment. And it needs to stop.<br /><br />2. I strongly recommend you try and get in touch with the media, see if someone can cover this story for all the people who've had to suffer. <br /><br />3. Name the names. Give out the names of all the people who harassed you on either side of the border. Traveling from one country to another isn't the easiest experience given the numerous VISA and immigration related details one has to deal with. Its appalling how a bunch of foolish low lives are making things worse instead of just doing their jobs.Shivanginoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785411119847175536.post-67923551302504136042010-05-31T21:50:18.662+05:002010-05-31T21:50:18.662+05:00This was always known but it is good to have a fir...This was always known but it is good to have a first hand account.

Sad to say, but it may be that the reason you got it from both sides is that you're an <i>Indian</i> <b>Muslim</b>, not quite fitting the preferred narrative of either side (I know, I know, India is a secular country, but yet...) On the other hand, maybe it's just official officiousness, which could happen anywhere, depending on the state of development of the countries concerned, and India and Pakistan are, for practical purposes, in the same state thereof :)ottawamysterymanhttp://www.youtube.com/user/ottawamysterymannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785411119847175536.post-74553523152136242462010-05-28T20:54:50.336+05:002010-05-28T20:54:50.336+05:00Oh my god..cant imagine the plight of you people.
