Sir — This refers to the article, “An unnecessary public fracas” (December 26) by Mayuri Mukherjee. Are maids necessary for Indian diplomats, posted abroad, to do their jobsIJ What work do these officials do anywayIJ They are just glorified clerks.
In contrast, American women work full-time, take care of the home and children and still don’t ask for maids. Why can’t our diplomats do the sameIJ
As for the maid, her actions are only natural since everyone wants a better life. The Ministry of External Affairs is acting like an arrogant driver trying to exercise his rights on the road. Such actions either put the driver in the hospital or the morgue.
