I fully agree with the writer's opinion. Our nation only has time to display arms, and ammunitions on Republic Day but lacks the steel to use them. But does not think twice b4 using them on their own subjects.
I feel India buys arms and ammunitions only to please the babus in the ministry of defense as this is the only way they can loot the state exchequer by overpricing the arms and buying substandard weapons and arms. If given a choice they will buy a ship for the army and a tank for the airforce and a landmine for the shipmine. Such are the kind of babus in New Delhi. They will stoop to any length to siphon off funds from the state exchequer to their Swiss bank accounts.
