Indians reaction in US
Although Khobragade's "indignities" seem pretty standard , in India, the perception that a woman's Honor is the community, society and country's honour still holds. It's one of the reason many women are hesitant to speak about rape - So when reports were released that an Indian diplomat was touched, strip searched, and treated like mere criminal - that did not go over well with the Indian population.

The US department Kerry said as a father of two daughters as the same age as Devyani he regretted what had happened. He hoped that US officials would continued to be treated with respect in India.
