United Kingdom to stop sending financial aid to India from January 1, 2016

[Bengal_Tiger]

Still when Hindustan recovered, they are trying to show us poor.
You should watch this video of Butthurt of British Lady over rise of India.
Every list on global powers admits that India is stronger that Britain. This Britain once had rule on India and now weaker. So, obviously, they will feel butthurt. :biggrin2:
Anyway, this is the video:

Well, their aid was also to NGOs not Government of India which itself had stopped Britain many times. But Brits and NGOs together hindered India's development for years.
India tells Britain, "We don't need your aid".

That woman with her very American loud and arrogant manner is actually a "professor"...lol. It's clear that she expects India to be doing what white super-duper leader/ruler of the world orders her to and so is stunned that India told the Americans to f*** off regarding sanctions with Iran.

People like her will need to get used to the new Asian century that we are living in as powers like India and China know very well that the west doesn't want to see the end of white western dominance. Anyway they cannot "regime change" or sanction economic, demographic and territorial giants like India and China...lol.

1st paragraph.



Basically it isn't. A few years ago as a UK based Bangladeshi I thought what was the big hoo haa about a bridge but then I found out that it's to connect around of the country in the south-west to the capital and the rest of the country.

Apparently the real reason why the World Bank cancelled the deal a few years back citing "corruption" as a pretext was the Americans were angry with Hasina and her moves against US (particularly Clinton ) favourite, Muhammad Yunus, so this was a sign of displeasure.

Very well explained pic about the role of Bridges/Infrastructure in Economy.

UK officially stopping aid is one of the best news of 2016.
Now even when they fund NGOs, they'll have to fund using covert routes. Covert routes are illegal, so no problem in prosecuting and persecuting those beneficiaries then.

Ideological whining about aid in two flavors in the western world.
Right Wing - Bleeding heart liberals wasting money on foreigners while natives face hardship.
Left Wing - Saving the world by giving aid to poor, hungry third worlders.

Real reason - Providing financial resources to buy influence and favors in return.

Calculated move by UK. Shutting down Brit aid will mean shutting down ISRO, which will mean more money to buy toilets. And which country has the oldest toilet maker of them all?

Britain wants to corner the world market in toilets.

no 200 million aid......aaaaa......that not fair.....how will we live.......india is only 9 trillion $ economy

 

[garg_bharat]

Who took the Aid, Govt. or NGOs ?

There is no government to government transfer. I think foreign money always ends up in NGOs or some identified developmental projects run by UN etc.

 

[Bahamut]

UK aid works like AIDS........................................................

Yep, this is typical firangi delusion.
They thought they were funding our Space and Defence.

Its good to know that India is so rich that it doesn't need aid any more. This is how the BBC thinks the money is spent

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-34398449

Over 20 years, $300million the UK saves ($6 Billion) could pay for nearly half its F-35 fleet. And yes, when another country gives money to an NGO operating in your economy, its giving it to the country if it employ's local people who pay tax

I can never work out if people here are angry because we are giving aid, angry because we think we should stop the aid, or angry because we finally agree with you that the aid should be stopped!

Some people in Britain are generally unhappy that we are legally obliged to use 0.7% of government spending on foreign aid, which as you all seem to agree is wasted, or at least badly accounted for. At the same time there are issues with deprivation and poverty in the UK that seems to be a low priority for our own government. It's not hatred or dislike of India that causes the resentment, but the perception that foreign aid is wasted in places that don't need it (such as India?) or on projects that are fundamentally useless - whilst we have our own issues that should be priority.

It seems there is no need to be angry - the British seem to think you don’t need aid and you seem to think you don’t need the aid, it so therefore seems like a good thing for everyone that the aid will be stopped.

Not 9 Trillion, 2.2 Trillion. 9 T is PPP figures which is not the best way to calculate size of GDP. Always take the nominal figures.

Oh, ok now kindly do us a favor and keep your money to yourself and buy some humor, you Britons(may I say momins of future Islamic Republic of Britania) seriously need it.
Once a symbol of civilized society you people have come down to demanding return of so called adds, in anger and frustration after your (is it?) Eurofighter lost the competition
I have read the comments section of the articles written on some daily newspapers and with due respect you people don't worth a dime.
Make no mistake, we accept we are dirt poor by all standards but you should know that you too are no more THE GREAT BRITAIN whose Union Jack, once used to fly on almost half of the globe
Part of the reason we are in such pathetic condition are because of you thugs, you people robbed us to rubbles and you starved half of Indian continent for your lavish lifestyle back in England and look at you now you people come here and shamelessly boasts about giving us heavenly civilization and railway for our welfare without your self-interest.
May Allah bless you people and your Republic, because God certainly won't
