Defence purchases

Posted on October 6, 2011 by Vincent Augustine D'Souza

India should have been self-sufficient in all respects of defence. USA, UK, Russia and France sell weapons. In India many years and thousands of crores of rupees were spent on developing main battle tank and light combat aircraft. There was talk of allowing private sector to manufacture what is required for defence but nothing seems to have happened. May be imports are a lucrative way to get bribes, commissions and kickbacks. Foreign companies may be allowed to manufacture warplanes, warships, arms and ammunition in India and India should buy only what is made in India.

CAG and 2G

Posted on October 6, 2011 by Vincent Augustine D'Souza

There is protest against corporate greed and bail outs. Billions of dollars were given in bail outs and officials responsible for losses got millions of dollars in bonuses.

Vatican and Barabbas

Posted on October 6, 2011 by Vincent Augustine D'Souza

Vatican officials oppose death penalty in disregard to church tradition. That has influence on other bishops. One official went so far as to say people who want death penalty for murder are like those who shouted “Kill him.” about Jesus in front of Pilate. The official could not have been more wrong.
