Obviously, no one in the world is going to care about her disappearance, nor will anybody cover the story in the media.

Unfortunately, this is true.
Blonde, blue-eyed get the most media attention.
And are also the salient features of girls and women who are kidnapped.

The reason the mainstream media flat out refuses to provide any coverage at all of Sudiksha’s disappearance is because she is a brown-skin female.

Why not just "how proud of their daughter"? Who gives a damn about major, oh right, the "Indian American from a similar background."

She's not American she's an Indian citizen living in the us

Technically. The "Indian American" (or take another country like Dominican American) part is commonly used by those who while they are not American by birth nor did they get naturalized (didn't get US citizenship) but have lived in US most of their lives so will hypnanate because they associate with being American. As in this young woman's case, it was said she came to the US in 2006 and they say she is 20. So she came to US when she was 1 or 2 years old. Not knowing if she ever went back to live in India after she moved to US so they write Indian American.

it is relevant here because India had to take the lead with DR authorities vs US who was just monitoring (until recently) because she is an Indian citizen and not a US citizen. It mattered in this case. I do not have any opinion on whether India has a good diplomatic team (I see no reason why they wouldn't) but people were asking why it too so many days for the US to get involved and it is because the priority/first in line was India.

Through the TJ grapevine, a representative from the Indian embassy met the parents at the airport when they landed after they immediately booked the next flight there.

What parent would not do the same if they were in this situation?


In contrast, at that time, the response from the Americans’ embassy was “let’s just wait and see if she turns up.”

Sorry but this was an unacceptable and unprofessional response here, when clearly someone’s life is in great danger.

If they activated the embassy staff every time a young adult person wasn’t where they were expected to be after a few hours they would do nothing else. Lots of people go to these places to party and run off with friends and do unexpected things. She’s an adult woman.

I do not believe you understand the fact that this is an important family. However, I don’t expect you to understand because you are probably an american.

so that's why she didn't become an American citizen? Btw, we are all "important" people on here in case you didn't know

The family moved here in 2006 to take advantage of TJ being like a free private school. They have gamed the system under your tax dollars. They don't even live in Fairfax county.

We know a few in NYC like this. Had the children do all the "right" things, i.e. student government, a wild variety of internships that had nothing in common except prestige, do the right volunteering, test like crazy for the SHSAT schools.
