Here we go again...

Christian Aid Week Report 2005 The damage done: Aid death and dogma

So, the aid group Christian Aid has put out a paper that blames the British Govt (actually,Britain's Department for International Development) as being responsible for the suicide of farmers in Andhra Pradesh. LOL...

It is not job of the British govt. or its agencies to protect the interests and lives of farmers in India.

Lack of access to credit at favorable terms, bad land management and farming practices cannot be attributed to DFID. And, this is not a case of govt. providing subsidy to its farmers to artifically lower the market prices like US cotton subsidy.

Wish these "save the world" types will stop publishing such nonsense.
