Sir, my experience with Indian Embassy at Kazakhstan is that they are not helping Indians to set up or expand business in most countries. They must have business intelligence on hand to help Indian Businessmen to quickly set up business with minimum expenditure. India should train and employ Indian Graduates in becoming commercial scouts and in some cases they can also be used by Indians to help protect Indian business interests abroad. Run community kitchens lodges for Business travellers.

This is regarding my recent visit to the Washington DC embassy :- There is no first come first serve. Everybody just gathers around the counter to get help. The person at the counter (embassy employee) doesn't correct this behavior. They do have a ticket system which is a big joke. I took a ticket and waited like an idiot for 30mins and after realising that like 5-7 people who showed up after me got help I too had to walk up to the counter and get help. Can we first fix this?

I request Honorable PM to start NRI PROVIDENT FUND AND make our life secured. This funds can also contribute to the economy of India. A large percentage of low salaried workers living in foreign countries, I hope this will help them a lot.

All our acts have to be with modern global community. Scrap adultery, homosexuality, useless obscenity law, liquor ban laws. Immediately apply common civil code, scrap Art.370 at a stroke. Bombard all terror camps in Pak and make a law like USA to liquidate terror suspects. Half-hearted jobs won't do any good. Simplify direct tax. Only 2 slabs. 5 lakhs to 25 lakhs @ 10% and above a2 25%. Slowly transfer reservation from caste base to income base. Treat juvenile criminal as adult in separate jail

Our embassies on foreign lands are our connecting point to our home land and I think they should act likethat but uunfortunately as per my experience with Indian embassy in uae and east Africa is really disheartening. They perform their duties with an attitute. Rather then helping their citizens in trouble they end up being trouble creators. I just expect indian embassies across globe to be more friendly for their own citizens at least also for nri's .

I feel really depressed every time I approach the embassy to follow up my wife's visa since she holds a Pakistani passport. Inspite of being married to me for the last 10 years and my children holding indian passports, the embassy people still treat us with disrespect and go the extra mile in harassing us before issuing the visa. The very mention of a Pakistani passport elicits a change in attitude. It is high time that the embassy staff are trained in the human element of their line.
