Sir ji, India had refused their aid few years ago yet they insisted on continuing. Their `aid` is nothing but fishing in troubled waters. Russia has banned all NGO's that accept foriegn aid, India should do the same.

I can only think a famous hindi kahawat: Hathi chale bazaar, kutta bhauke hazaar (due profuse apologies to canines and all other animals). Ignore these guys, do what you have to do, enjoy their jealosy!

Don't worry about it. India should continue to behave as she has been doing, i.e. neither accept the money, nor reject it. Let the English continue to expose themselves to the world like the hypocrites that they are. If they genuinely want to give to charity (which they don't) then they would not be bigging themselves up about it and crying so much. I give to various British charities, so what - does that mean I give aid to Britain?

I wish we were half the mischief mongers like many they harbour in UK read Bangladeshi and Pakistanis they are scared of. We have been sparing them like we did Australians who could tour around India freely when our mates were getting beaten up in their cities.

A peaceful benign India is always going to be pushover and trolled at. The lack of prompt and assertive response from lazy Indians is one of the reason every Tom Dick and Harry can rant against India.

They can tell their policy makers to stop paying India the aid and constructively change their opinion, instead they spew venom against India and its progress more. I doubt they themselves want the aid to be stopped because they know it is used to harvest Hindu soles for the con artist Pop and insult Indians at whim.

I wish we cut our aid budget in half and put it into defence spending. This drive for more FA is ridiculous with this economic climate.

Do not cry and whine. In not too distant future you will start receiving aid from my Bharatvarsh which was looted and plundered for a very long time which, I will not forget and maybe forgive your future generations. We are back to take our rightful place in the world as a peaceful fast developing nation. You are more than welcome to join us and benefit from our development and make a positive contribution instead of whining. If you are not capable of following my advise than take those pounds and give it to the beggars on our Western border. They are waiting for all the free money they can get from you.

Not this time. Check the outpouring of nationalistic comments by Indian posters all over the Daily Mail, Telegraph etc. Indian commentators outnumber the Brits 10 to 1 in some articles I saw regarding this issue....and many of the comments are very intelligent and stridently patriotic.

This will only improve with time...every time a western media outlet takes to bashing India/Indians, swarms of Indian drones will descend from the sky and turn the haters into a burning pile of ash. :lol: Kinda like how Indians used to blame Chinese posters a few years ago of overwhelming the comments section of foreign news media (CCP drones lol)...but just as Chinese citizens learn English and gain access to the internet, they flood the sites that are hostile to China....same thing is happening with India now as well. :)

Wealth of a nation and aid received is not inversely proportional. We spend a lot on defence because we live in a hostile neighbourhood. We spend a bit on space research because we capable scientist who can deliver. As a country representing 1.2 billion people it is our duty to make strides in space research and technology for the betterment of future generation.

This does not change the fact that there are millions of people that are still starving. hundreds of thousands of kids that get have to access to education. And thousands of villages without safe drinking water. Government does not have magic wand to get rid of these problems. People in the country are too busy donating to money to temples, churches and mosques. We need NGO's fill in the gaps where the government is failing.

Perfect! This is the root of the whole issue - stupid Brit plebs, still stuck in the last century. This century is going to be very painful for the older generation of Brits, with more and more bitterness and rage piling up in them.

Scalieback, Scalieback, where art thou?

WE'RE NOW PAYING FOR INDIA'S NAVY AS IT SPENDS OUR £280M AID ON WARSHIPS

THERE was fresh anger over taxpayer aid to India last night as it emerged the country is spending £1billion on three warships.

Britain is still handing over £280million a year despite India admitting it doesn't need the help and regards the amount as "peanuts".

As the Royal Navy suffers severe budget cuts, India has splashed out on Russian-built frigates, including one said to carry the world's fastest Cruise missile. The news follows this month's announcement that India is planning a £50million unmanned spacecraft mission to Mars.

Conservative MP Philip Davies said: "It seems to me that a country that spends billions on defence is more than capable of looking after its own people without £280million a year from British taxpayers. They could just spend £280million less on defence.

"Also, the money we give to India we have to borrow, so by the time we have repaid it, it's a lot more."

Overseas aid spending has escaped Coalition austerity cuts.

Ministers are committed to increasing it to 0.7 per cent of national output, up from £7.8billion this year to £11.5billion by 2015, to reach targets set by the United Nations.

India's new Cruise missile-carrying frigate, INS Teg, is the first of three Talwar class warships ordered from the Yantar shipyard in Russia.

The International Development Department insists: "As we have made clear many times, British aid is not used to fund India's defence programme."

But Joseph Hosier, a retired merchant seaman who revealed the purchase of the warships, said: "We haven't got a merchant navy to speak of and, with what's happened to the Royal Navy too, it's disgusting.

"I'd like to know, if we're so friendly with India, whether we were offered the contract for these ships, and if not, why not?":shocked: :lol:

Matthew Sinclair, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: "Just a couple of weeks after learning how they are effect-ively subsidising India's mission to Mars, British taxpayers will be dismayed to discover that the Indian government is splashing the cash on these new warships.

"India can afford to spend billions on ventures and equipment that the British Government goes without. This only goes to emphasise the absurdity of British aid going to India."

Yorkshire MEP Godfrey Bloom, UK Independence Party defence spokesman, said: "India now has a far superior navy to ours – new frigates, aircraft carriers with aircraft. And what do we have?"

Despite India's booming economy, millions of its citizens still live in poverty.

And yet India is said to be the world's largest importer of arms.

Last year it also came seventh in a world league table of military spending after the US, China, Russia, the UK, France and Japan.

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute put India joint fourth with Britain in terms of spending as a percentage of GDP, at 2.6 per cent. India spent £30.9billion against the UK's £39.6billion.

India's military expansion has been driven by rivalries with neighbours Pakistan and China.

In January it chose French company Dassault for a £13billion order for 126 fighter aircraft instead of buying Eurofighter Typhoons offered by a consortium in which BAE Systems has a 33 per cent stake. :rolleyes:

Britain has been without an aircraft carrier strike force since Sea Harriers were axed in 2010. :lol:

The Brits are sounding as if they are sending £280 billion and not £280 million.

Anything india spends is of British taxpayers money.
