RFID tags on Indian students in U.S: How far is it justified?

Decorating our boys with TAGS is  B A D.  But why our boys are mad of these foreign degrees? Can they not study for the same type of degree in any Indian University? Have they really gone out of India in search of excellence? What are the specializations they are doing research in? What is the CREDIBILITY of those Universities/Institutions? Let people involved do some soul-searching.Otherwise,we are making ourseleves look  like clowns in the eyes of the international-intellectual-community ultimately creating a cheap image for I N D I A!!!

Absolutely inhuman and goes back to the old ages. We should at least now realise and stop looking up at US as a superior state. 

Can not be acceptable and it is a humiliation.

Government has already expressed its voice. So it does echoes the feelings of people. What we need is to rectify these kind of ills in the future. Particularly , the Indian agency that send them, the choice of colleges are well screened before entry (list of authorized college can be publicly made available). Government needs to scrutinize its systemic element to facilitate parents desiring to educate their wards , not only in US but also other country like UK, Australia etc. Let us hope for the good prevails in the future.

I fully support your views. In fact if the US government doesnt respond favourably to our protest then we rather our Ministry of External Affairs should reciprocate in the same manner as them. This is like return of slave age with sophisticaition. Where technology is being used on innocent students who have been cheated by the US education department approved University. It is a clear cut case of corruption in the US education department who are hands in glove to fleece the gullible students to extract money. 

Its a shame even to comment about this! Action  required! Dear @Muralidharan, not a "strong signal" but a serious visit to the site by the relevant authorities should be made! Indians apart, no human should be treated this way! Where have we sent our students- into a Nazi camp? Should I ask my colleagues to create a poll website for such issues?!! I will name it something like: www.inhumanacts.com! Serious! Let me give a thumbs up to everybody that commented here!

most condemnable act of US authorities after patting of our lady ambassador shows weakness on part of Govt. of India the nation is insulted and we are doing nothing ..  

Its painful.  But, whom to blame???  Meseems, too much chauvanism towards Western countries and running behind money are couple of important reasons.  Else, why our students make a beeline for such unscrupulous universities ?  Anyway, govt of india should take up the issue with US authorities seriously the inhuman practice.  US owe india an unconditional apology !!

Not acceptedd at all. It is very regretful and sadful matter that alwyas Asians are abused by Other continents. This keeps us backward in international society. 

Implement this measure for all american personnel in India to make them understand 

This is tantamount to culpable homicide.The hue and cry by our S.M Krishana is not going to bear any fruitful results. why Indians are often targeted and made as a scape goat.This is bigger than the Bhopal Tragedy. 

This is the result of a weak cabinet @ center which is always want to settle any international issue in compromising mode & afraid to go aggressively even when, Indians are getting bad treatment or have to loose self respect.

I am FULLY WITH the AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. THIS IS HOW A GOVERNMENT MUST FUNCTION as this world is STILL having different countries and Governments IT is not a border-less world YET. UNLIKE indiaN CONgress & Communists CONNING & gunning indian citizens with Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Nigerian, Italian DAWOODS & Qs & Naxals having a whale of a time

This is shameful. I think we have taken a tough stand on the matter.us thinks the students will stay back which is unfortunate no Indian students will like to stay back when their prestige is at peril.

This is absurd and shows the outlook of university towards Humans. The university fails to understand that they are creating a divide in the community. I don't understand how someone be so immature to grant the decision.

Are they wanting to capitalize on the negative marketing to market the name of the college around the globe or they are wanting to please the white's. Either way they are inviting trouble.

Sad to see that a country with such professional outlook could come out with such a decision.

It is justified if it is applicable to and all the teaching non teaching or students
without any bias otherwise it is condemnable.

What really motivates these students to go to US and be treated like criminals / Animals.

Our political system is too weak to initiate any action against such unhuman treatment given to these students living in US, they themself have to raise a voice and seek a solution.
 

THIS IS TOTALLY INHUMAN AND GOVERMENT SHOULD PRESSURISE THE US GOVT. TO PUNISH THE GUILTY ONES WHOEVER ORDERED FOR RADIO CALLER IN ANCLE.THIS MUST BE IMMEDIATLY SORTED OUT OR INDIA MUST TAKE UP SOME STERN ACTION FOR FUTURE ALSO. 

Not at all justified, highly condemnable.  The fate of these over 1400 students are at stake, the government of India should send a strong signal to the US Government stop treating our Students as criminals. This criminal action was perpetrated by the University in their soil, not without the connivance of their local officials, for which why our Students, after having paid exhorbitant fees to suffer!  Their mistake was to pursue higher education in the foreign soil to have better future, nothing else! We the citizens should extend solidarity to the students whose fate is hanging in balance by starting signature campaigns or through media pressure on both the Governments to ensure suitable action is taken in favour of their plight.
