"In the next 100 days, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government has decided to inject Rs 1 trillion in the Indian economy to stimulate internal demand to keep it insulated from the world recession. This would be done in association with the private sector," Manish Tewari, Congress spokesperson, told reporters.
Tewari said the decision was taken on the advice of UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi."
That last bit I totally love -- that this was Sonia G's idea. This, a government with two high-rated economists in the Cabinet? Cong spokesman needs a crash course in how not to do the hard-sell.

At least 800 Indian priests are working in the United States alone. India, Vietnam and the Philippines are among the leading exporters of priests, according to data compiled by researchers at Catholic University of America in Washington.
But these days the Indian prelates have reason to reconsider their generosity. With India modernizing at breakneck speed, more young men are choosing financial gain over spiritual sacrifice.

- Instead they use mobiles and email to coordinate protests. Interesting: "Ahmed (who also asked that his real name be withheld for security reasons) and Bashir were among the throngs, exhorting friends to join the rallies with patriotic texts and filming the events with their camera phones. The Indian response was jittery. Shortly after the protest began, it blocked all text messages in the state." Would the government be able to do this if there were more than one cell provider in the region?
