Try being Indian and getting a Schengen visa or something similar. It's not any easier. So my apologies, but I think you'll find it hard to elicit sympathy amongst Indians - even the smart ones. Let me assure you your hassles pale in comparison to hassles most Indians face when traveling and/or getting visas.
BTW, one could say the same for the UK government. It's a shame they don't take measures to encourage tourism - what with a $1000 fee for the mere chance of getting a 10yr visa.
