Why do we tolerate this?

"Indian-run global cyber drugstore busted in US" screams the headlines of HT... supposedly the newspaper (if you wish to call it that) that according to them, Indians are to look forward for news. Bah!

The front page, which carries an article with the aforementioned headline... claims that the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) arrested a physician based in Agra for the alleged sale of controlled drugs. These drugs also include Viagra among others. The crime... a physician in Agra sells these drugs to other retailers, and all of these purchases could be made with just a valid credit card.

There are two things that disturbed me the most.... firstly what right does the US DEA have to arrest a person from Agra?

Secondly, why is this news item, supposedly penned by some "S Rajagopalan" from Washington, on the front page of the Hindustan Times?

All of this stinks of a bullying act by the U.S of A on nations that have a competitive advantage
over them when it comes to a world of free trade!

Whats more... this also is a classic case of "India-Bashing" which of late has become the favourite pastime of the English language media in the country.
