Pride and Poverty: India's amazing blending
 
When one third of the world's poor lives in India, is it logical for New Delhi to go with the fascination of arms and aviation? India spends more and more money for the military empowerment, but ignores hopelessly the issue of health, where hundred thousands die due to curable diseases.
The issues come alive as Bangalore is hoisting the 7th Biennial Aerospace Exhibition from February 11. The five day extravaganza, Aero India 2009, at the Yelahanka Air Force Base in the garden city of India has attracted around 600 Indian and international companies from 25 countries for the exhibition. Organized by the Ministry of Defence (GoI) and recognized as the Asia's largest air force exhibition, it will showcase a wide range of civil and military aircrafts from leading manufacturers, vendors and suppliers.
