To the editor: From the first day it was announced, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's nomination as U.S. ambassador to India has seemed like a lost opportunity. (' His term expiring, Garcetti pushes hard for job as ambassador to India,' Nov. 19) Surely there must be many highly successful Indian Americans who would be perfectly suited for the job. Many of them might also have valuable language skills that would help facilitate communications. Plus, it would be an excellent way to recognize the tremendous contributions that Indian Americans make to our society.
