Swati Sharma weighs in on l'affaire Devyani Khobragade in the Washington Post, saying why the furore over the diplomat's arrest is so wrong.

'Little attention has been given to the housekeeper, Sangeeta Richard. India is siding with a woman who was in the wrong -- who lied, paid her help poorly and now is brazen enough to claim that she should not be treated like a criminal. What's 'deplorable'' to use the prime minister's words, is not Khobragade's treatment, which was standard, but the fact that many in India aren't speaking out against the treatment of the nanny,' she writes.
