“The global military industrial complex is not only destroying environment and manufacturing wars but it is also supporting the unending rule of despots. Most modern writers and intellectuals across the world are engaged in speaking about the dangers this complex creates,” writer and literary journalist Satish Chapparike said in Belagavi on Sunday.
He was responding to a question at a meet-the-author event organised by Sapna Book House in association with Book Brahma, an online platform for discussion on Kannada books.
“Writers across the world have felt that the biggest money-spinning industries in the world are religion, politics, war, drugs and immoral trafficking. These are the ways in which the military industry complex stays alive and relevant,” he said.
