Success or failure of VoA is one thing but GoI need to ensure that their citizens are treated at par and get the same travel facilities in the other countries as we treat their citizens ..If the other country is not willing to give Indian citizens VoA for
whatever reason , they should not get VoA in India.. simple IMHO..
Without getting into the details, I just hope GoI thinks about some kind of reciprocity before making VoA facility available for any country.. It wouls be tragic if we give all kinds of freedom to citizens of foreign countries and the Indian citizens are made to go around and fulfill lots and lots of requirements to even get a short term visa..
