1) Secondly we don't need those peanut size aids from U.K. as we can take care of our own people!
2) You guys should worry about your countrymen who are regularly crossing illegally into India in the hope of living a decent life!
1) It is not India who rejected $400 million peanut donation from the UK. It was UK itself which has decided to stop it because your govt spends a lot of wealth in prestige projects, and less on reducing poverty related suicides.
2) You guys really believe in the politicians' propaganda that hungry BD people are crossing in millions to a super-rich India, when the reality is so diffferent? See your own newspaper report that says hundreds of millions of doallars are being remitted from a HUNGRY Bangladesh to the HONEY EATING India by its NRIs who are working in our poor BD. You guys are shameless. While you beg to others, you fingerpoint towards your neighbours. Open the link and see how in bold letters a BD name is written:
India world's largest remittance recipient - Times Of India
India world's largest remittance recipient
Himanshi Dhawan, TNN Jun 20, 2008, 01.15am IST
NEW DELHI: For Indians, the umbilical cord is never severed. India has now captured one-tenth of global remittance flows, making it the world's largest single recipient.
An estimated $27.1 billion was remitted to India in 2006-2007. The Indian diaspora is estimated at 20 billion.
Migrant remittances have recently surged to the forefront of development agendas worldwide but the growth in India has been dramatic. Total remittances has grown steadily over the past 15 years, and dramatically in the past 10, skyrocketing from $2.1 billion in 1990-1991 to $27.1 billion in 2006-2007.
The top 10 destination countries for Indians include the UAE, Saudi Arabia, US, Bangladesh, Nepal, UK, Sri Lanka, Canada, Kuwait and Oman. Experts point out that softer immigration laws in the US and the search for better economic opportunities fuelled a surge in the overseas migration of Indians.
