Trivalley tirade

Recently a incident of tagging Illegal Indian Students with GPS collars nearly snowballed in to a Diplomatic Spat between India and United States thanks to the Overenthusiastic and the Frenzy coverage of Indian media. Indian media labelled the treatment meted out to "Innocent" students as "Barbaric" and portrayed the GPS collars as Shackles. While i was more than overwhelmed by the "Concern" of Indian Media about Stranded Indian media , which drove the Ministry of External Affairs in to overdrive and made S.M Krishna to issue statements like " the behavior of US is unacceptable", the Govt of India and the Media willfully choose to Ignore the Plight of millions of Overseas Indians working in Middle-eastern countries , where scores of Indians die every week from the physical abuse they endure from their arab Sheikhs, But Indian Media can afford to ignore them because most of these people are from the Under classes and they work as Domestic helps or Construction laborers , they dont fit in to the "NRI" profile of the Media.
