People wait for 4-5 hrs before they enter eventhough they have appointment. and once inside they are made to run from pillar to post ...but the actual interview takes hardly 2-3 mins...

If it's a typical American Consulate or Embassy you'll note they use almost all non-American employees.

Because the demand far exceeds anyone's ability to keep up.
Although the face-to-face interview only takes a few minutes, remember that you have to submit a correct application form and photos (and many people queue up three or four times before they get it right, adding to the backlog); all the data from the form and the photograph itself have to be entered into the worldwide computer system which is done by hand; you have to give your fingerprints; the system checks the names, fingerprints and faces, and takes some time to produce results; the consular office probably talks to two hundred people per day, and has to judge their intentions accurately in that time and decide yes or no. Then the officer has to write notes in the computer system whether the visa will be given or refused, and has to approve it for issuance.
If you'd like the process to be faster, you're not alone. So would they. It would help if you could encourage the people who intend to misuse visas if they get them, people who are lying, people who are presenting counterfeit and forged documents, people who have already been refused a dozen times, to stay away.

Remember that Americans don't work very well with other races...

Aren't most things in India like that? Sorry, but it's true.
