Tables on Pg 586 look interesting. In Q208, mutual funds pumped in around 36k crores whereas FIIs pulled out around 15k crores.
It seems that the FII outflows are really taking off.

War expenditure... iraq and afganistan
Super cool - http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d081128r.pdf
Since 2001, congress has provided DOD with about $807B for supporting military operations in GWOT(Global war on terrorism). This is comparable to paulson's $750B credit line to buy MBS. Of the $807B appropriated, DOD has obligated ~$595B.
- About ~$462B was spent on Iraq
- About ~$105 was spent on afganistan and others. I compare this with $80B bailout of AIG.
