A former Indian foreign minister, Yashwant Sinha, has publicly called for retaliation against gay American diplomats in India, whose sexual orientation and domestic arrangements are now illegal after a recent Supreme Court ruling. The government has not taken him seriously, but his suggestion indicates how inflamed passions have become.
印度议会和电视脱口秀也是群情激动。在被捕后写给外交同事的信中，拒绝承认指控的科巴拉加德说她因为“反复带上镣铐、去除镣铐、脱衣搜查和探肛搜查”以及“与普通罪犯和瘾君子关在一起”而“崩溃了好几次”。前印度外交部长辛哈（Yashwant Sinha）公开要求对驻印美国同性恋外交官予以相同待遇，根据最新的最高法院裁决，该美国外交官的性取向和国内安排是非法的。政府并未把他的建议当真，但他的要求表明了印度人的怒气有多大。
