Exactly! These are the same people who give the country a bad name abroad.Zero sympathy for criminals. If you don't want to be treated like a criminal then don't break the law by entering a country illegally. Also, it's not like they were being abused or starved in India and they had to flee the country or something.
Well, the pickup was from Amman. I don't know why ships weren't used as Jordan does have access to sea at Aquaba.Happened only because in reckless war of those times, passenger ships were not at all even remotely safe option.
About 170,000 people were evacuated (airlifted) from Amman, Jordan, to Bombay – a distance of 4,117 km (2558 mi) – by Air India, operating 488 flights in association with Indian Airlines, from August 18, 1990 to October 20, 1990 – lasting 63 days.
I have relatives that made it back from that airlift. I'll ask them whenever I see them nextComparatively short distance, Indian Airways could write off so much money those days without much care, now govt does not own airlines.
But the Americans are notChinese are very quiet about it like usual.
Non cooperation by the CCP. How typicalNonetheless, U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials have been frustrated by what they say is Beijing's longstanding refusal to cooperate on repatriation by declining to issue travel documents.
Tens of thousands of illegal Chinese. Wow.The department has warned of escalating consequences for Chinese officials, including visa sanctions, for refusal to accept tens of thousands of Chinese nationals, opens new tab in the U.S. under deportation orders.
Not my experience in the US.Everyone hates Indians.
GOI is acting in a reciprocal manner for how Pakistan & Bangladesh treat our nationals in their countrywould cheer (perhaps even masturbate secretly) at the news of Pakistani/Bangladeshi immigrants being physically tortured by Indian Police and Army.
I am surprised at the level people are going to call these ordinary people criminals... Poor fellows risking their lives ..their entire money ..leaving behind their families just for a better future is also becoming of a criminal now.What is wrong with you people lol. Criminals should not be treated like that either. Forget illegal immigrants, most countries dont even treat violent criminals like that. And there were literal children on that plane.
"They give indians a bad name" Nah bro Indians cheering on brutal, humiliating treatment of their countrymen at the hand of xenophobic, fascist goras probably give Indians a worse name.
Exactly as it should be.The same people on this thread (and general India) condemning the treatment of illegal immigrants of Indian nationality being treated "inhumanly" would cheer (perhaps even masturbate secretly) at the news of Pakistani/Bangladeshi immigrants being physically tortured by Indian Police and Army.
These "poor" fellows managed to get 80L to a crore (based on that reddit post) to do dunki. Probably sold their land to some builder. If having 80L is poor, Then what do you call the rest who don't even have that amount? Below poverty line? Guess I'm bpl now. Lol.Poor fellows risking their lives ..their entire money
Coming in illegally means breaking the entry laws means you are a criminal. The ICE chief made this clear to journalists over a month back.I am surprised at the level people are going to call these ordinary people criminals... Poor fellows risking their lives ..their entire money ..leaving behind their families just for a better future is also becoming of a criminal now.
Guantanamo is for terrorists.And 90% are non criminals because had they done anything severe they would be serving in Guantanamo bay. Not shipped to India.
A much saner take in a thread filled with overreaction and self-hatred. One can identify easily who amongst us would vote for republican fascists given the chance.To sum up:
1. Illegal immigrants must be deported.
2. Historically they have been deported via regular flights. Even Biden deported over 200,000 people.
3. The price of deportation through military plane, all chained up was 5 times more than regular flights. So, that doesn't make any economic sense. It also violates many of the human rights conventions, even Geneva convention doesn't allow such treatment.
4. These theatrics were done to create spectacle of cracking down hard on illegal immigration.
5. Other nations like Colombia refused to take back citizens if sent via military plane and chained up, though their citizens were in the wrong. India should have stood for its citizens too.
6. We Indians need to have self-respect. No country (until now) except India accepted such humiliating treatment.
7. Two wrongs don't make a right.
1. We Indians must learn not to blindly believe in whatever the masala media says.Someone above said: "two wrongs don't make a right" in context of Bhopal gas tragedy criminal being given luxurious treatment. A bit of critical self-awareness for us all will go a long way.
No "human" should be treated the way these illegal migrants have been treated. What they did was wrong. But the way they were treated was also wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right.
On another note, we Indians really hate Indians. We just try to find creative ways to hate others: region, religion, language, caste, class, gender; in this case the tag of "Criminal" comes in very handy.
If a white man had overstayed his Visa permit in India and we had chained him up and sent him in military plane for theatrics, the same people justifying the inhumane treatment of fellow Indians caught up in the wrong would argue for the white man and against the state action. Let's be objective: two wrongs don't make a right.
I think, illegal immigrants should be treated with human dignity. These people were given no bathroom breaks. Tied up through out the journey. Even POWs are accorded more dignity as per the Geneva Convention than what these people got.
To sum up:
1. Illegal immigrants must be deported.
2. Historically they have been deported via regular flights. Even Biden deported over 200,000 people.
3. The price of deportation through military plane, all chained up was 5 times more than regular flights. So, that doesn't make any economic sense. It also violates many of the human rights conventions, even Geneva convention doesn't allow such treatment.

Colombia has walked back from the brink of a damaging trade war with the United States, reaching an agreement on accepting deported migrants being returned on military planes, after a flurry of threats from President Donald Trump that included steep tariffs.
Colombia said Sunday evening it had agreed to “all of President Trump’s terms,” including the “unrestricted acceptance” of immigrants who entered the US illegally, after two US military planes carrying deportees were blocked from entering the country.
