Roland: There may be a clue in the words of another famous Indian Prime Minister: "We live in a tough neighborhood". BTW for 2020 the Military Budget for India ($61 B) comes in at #4 in the world behind US ($750 B), China ($237 B), Saudi Arabia ($67 B). _____________________________________________________________________________________ Roland Francis write: >From today?s Indian Express: Quote Not only PSUs, academic institutions and public sector banks but also the three armed forces ? Indian Army, Indian Air Force and Indian Navy ? have contributed in a big way to the PM-CARES Fund. Together, the three services contributed Rs 203.67 crore from a day?s salary of their personnel. End of quote. That means the total yearly pay of the second largest armed force in the world, is USD 27.7 billion at the current (today?s) exchange rate. That mind you is their salary only. Mind boggling. Roland. Toronto.
