All defence deals are shrouded in varying degree of secrecy.
Secrecy and transparency are anti-thesis of each other. Lack of
transparency creates doubts about their uprightness. In India's
case, every major defence deal gets mired in allegations of
irregularities and financial impropriety. The book identifies
stages of the acquisition process that are vulnerable to
manipulation and finds the integrity pact to be an infructuous
addendum. Implementable corrective measures have been suggested to
make defence acquisitions corruption-free. Seven major defence
procurements that have come under a cloud in the recent past have
been examined in-depth for alleged infirmities and transgressions.
Deals for AgustaWestland helicopters and Rafale fighters have been
dealt in detail as they continue to hog media attention to date.
Agents are omnipresent in all trade transactions the world over.
They bring buyers and sellers together; assist in negotiations; and
provide post-contract services. However, their role in defence
deals has been a subject of intense debate in India for the last
four decades now. The book probes the intractable dilemma facing
the government.
