Ronen Sen offers his apologies over Headless Chicken

Its yet another worthy diplomat being harassed and humiliated by their political bosses.

Ambassador Ronen Sen has had a illustrious career. He joined IFS in 1966 and has served India at Moscow, Mexico, Germany, Dhaka, and UK. He has also served Ministry of External Affairs, as a Joint secretary to PM and most importantly he has worked as secretary to the atomic energy commision of India. Mr Sen took charge as Ambassador of India to USA in Aug, 2004.

So when he speaks, he know what he is talking about.

Mr Sen spoke his heart out on India-US Nuclear deal and pointed out that we will lose all credibility if we miss this opportunity and run away to show our back to this important deal. He was aghast at attitude of Indian political parties and journalists. He spoke what he deemed was critical and correct for the nation.

And, he gets penalised for it. His head is most prized possession for CPM and Karat and valuable time of Indian parliament is used to humiliate this nationalist servant of India.

There is a saying that IAS officers in Bihar used to hold the "pan-dan or spit-holder" for Laloo Yadav and probably Indian politicans treat experienced and talented Bureaucracy no more than their personal servants.

To be rebuffed and humiliated at will.
