I have seen pictures of the torture marks on nytimes. This should serve as a lesson to the people who even think about resorting to such behavior with people who work for them. I have been appalled by how desis at position of power behave with their underlings or servants. But on the otherhand, I didn't like nytimes pointing out that they were hindu sindhis etc. Was that information necessary ? That would only incite more hatred towards that community and Indians in general. I am glad about this sentence. I have seen pictures of the torture marks on nytimes.

Maybe in India you can get away with treating people like this but not in the United States. Her and her husband should rot in prison and be made to do hard labor. She received what she deserved.

Even if it did, the punishment is way too harsh. If the abuse did happen, punishment is justified to a reasonable extent. 11 years is extremely harsh. The workers could have just walked out of the house, it is not like Varsha is a mafioso. Louis Woodward spent about 6 months in jail after being convicted of the murder of baby Matty Eappen. As for the comments about taxes, most business people evade taxes or use legal tax loopholes such as offshore accounts in Bermuda. So take it easy. Looks like a case of over zealous prosecutors.
