Nice news, but the reality is India's system belongs in the dark ages in the day and age where everything should be available at the touch of a button Indian red tape means nothings gets done visas take for ever and everyone suffers including those trying to do their job.I m a PIO who happened to be born in Pakistan and am still waiting for my visa to visit my elderly mother in India who I haven't seen for 5 years.Like I said nice news,nice pact but the reality is different.
