Disarmament for Peace and Development - Warfare or Welfare

The 10-12th of February a conference titled 'Disarmament for Peace and Development - Warfare or Welfare' was held in Bangalore, India by peace and solidarity organisations in India. It coincided with Aero India 2009 - Asia's biggest display of military aircrafts. The disarmament conference spelled out the need for India to put more money on social security rather than military spending since 80 % of the population are living in poverty. Also because of the great tragedy with 12 people dying every day in India because of gun violence.
