The entry to the U K has become very difficult. The application is so cumbersome to fill as they ask for so many minute details other than your own self! The date of birth of your parents one of who is no more living really irks you when you fill the forms, basically because you have never thought of recording their date of birth and other details and they did not have any passport or travel abroad, to put it straight! The demand for the statement of accounts from your bank for the past 6 months is something which intrudes straight into your privacy and discloses your personal savings and assets to people and officials whom you do not even know.
The Indian girls sitting on the counters behave like U K immigration officials and ask you so many questions that you tend to get irritated since the questions are silly in nature. Submission of personal IT returns for the past 3 years disclosing all your income and sources is something which can not be accepted. I really wish that our Indian Embassy also adopts such measures of asking the Britisher if he has 3 year record of his bank accounts and IT returns etc.. and ask for submission of the same for scrutiny! I am sure half the tourists will not even have 2000 pounds in their savings accounts! With all these formalities, the agency also takes an authorisation from you to scrutinise your documents and a no objection for cross verification of the documents which makes you feel very belittled! All said and done, we are Kings in our own country and no one can dispute that!! Mera Bharat Mahan !! My country is great!
