India rejects US tenders on military aircraft

Indian Air Force (IAF) has rejected Lockheed Martin’s F-16 and Boeing’s F/A-18 Super Hornet to acquire 126 Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft at a cost of between $11 billion and $12 billion. The US embassy in New Delhi was formally notified about this rejection on Wednesday, 28th April 2011. US ambassador Timothy Roemer resigned on Thursday. He made his continuation in office untenable by publicly pitching so hard for the Indian order for the biggest military aviation deal in history that he became identified with the success or otherwise of the American bids. France’s Dassault Aviation and a four-nation European consortium, the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS), had been chosen for the final round in the extended selection process.

John Paul II beatification: Politics of saint-making

John Paul’s beatification comes just six years and one month after his death in 2005. The haste has puzzled some observers, especially those inclined to question the late pope’s record on combating the scourge of clerical sexual abuse. But, for Christian Church it is a continued exercise of positioning to dominate the world. Institutional dynamics of the Church and politics of proselytization explain the haste.
