British Expats - In To-day's Newspapers

This is part of a pilot for the Central govt. scheme to pay subsidies and benefits direct to the recipient.
jcbrum - there's nothing to stop you getting Aadhar - but consider whether you should be accepting a subsidy from the GoI, up till now there was no way of not being subsidised other than taking the large commercial cylinders but now you have the option to pay market price for the domestic ones.

I am thinking of applying for the Aadhar card (which isn't a problem for me).I have lived here for 7 years so why shouldn't i have subsidised cylinders.It's not a means tested benefit even if you earn 2 hundred rps a day or one crore you are entitled to it.

In India, sex is a taboo subject and sexual abuse is rarely discussed, or admitted.

Campaigners say that in India's traditional patriarchal society, the abusers are often family members - they include parents, grandparents, uncles and siblings, and other caregivers.

Often parents and other authority figures are reluctant to report abuse because they want to avoid scandals. They also want to protect the child victims from further distress having to deal with an insensitive police force, intrusive medical examinations and an insensitive judiciary.

Campaigners argue that what India needs is a "zero tolerance approach" to cases of sexual abuse of children.

Maybe they should give some of this money to the poor..

MOSCOW | Fri Sep 21, 2012 7:27pm IST
(Reuters) - Russia will put off delivery of a renovated $2.3 billion aircraft carrier to India by five months to fix defects in its construction, a state shipbuilder said, blaming some of the problems on NATO-supplied equipment.

Sources close to Russian arms exporter Rosoboronexport told Reuters earlier this week that problems with the boilers on the Vikramaditya were discovered during sea trials and would delay delivery of the vessel by six months to a year.

The head of a top shipbuilder confirmed on Friday that boilers had malfunctioned.

"Besides that, there are a series of mechanisms which malfunctioned including those delivered by countries of NATO," Interfax reported Andrei Dyachkov, president of United Shipbuilding Corporation, which owns another company that is doing the renovation, as saying. He did not go into details.

So, breaking news..............

The Pope has resigned, first time this has happened for 600 years!

The reason given is that he is not strong enough to continue.
Well having seen decrepit pontiffs hardly able to move carrying on until they expire, I find this hard to believe.

More likely something from his (well documented) Nazi sympathising past, or maybe he could be embroiled in the prolific Catholic priest kiddie-fiddling hobby?

Just too sudden, and he's going by the end of the month!
