Guest guest Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 This was sent to another list by Sri Sampath. Tells us what difference a christian defence minister makes for the armed forces. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sunday Express: 23 Dec 2007 Indefensible delay: A governor has written to Defense Minister A.K. Antony protesting that the Indian Army has not renewed the contracts of some 30 lecturers who give discourses on various aspects of the Hindu religion to army jawans in different parts of the country. The system of orgnising religious lectures for jawans in forward areas to help them destress was started several years ago. Preachers belonging to the four major faiths Islam, Christianity, Hinduism and Sikhism - are trained at the National harmony Centre in Pune. Antony has replied to the governor to say he is examining the matter. But eight months have passed and none of the lecturers on Hinduism have been taken back into service. The report does not say what is the fate of lecturers of the other three religions. Sampath Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage.
