While searching for another article, I came across this interesting news tid-bit on CNN-IBN.

India’s new attraction towards drugs is another offspring of the money that is flowing into the country. And no matter how much they want to contest, I can assure you that the drug money finds it’s way to fund terrorism and related activities all over the world.
