From Jan 1, UK to stop financial aid to India

[Providence]

it is not given to govt of India, I think you should read the posts before commenting.. aid comes with lots of conditions attached like expectation to buy their military hardware..
What if I give you 50 quid a year to have food because you are poorer than me, but I bitch every time you go to cinema with your family, and when you say 'hey I dont want your 50 quid my family spends many times that amount on food alone', I call you ingrate dumbass trash.

That's not the point. Lots of losers here referred the aid as "damned". It's in bad taste considering that aid has done a lot of good. (Even when you discount for the hubris in british and indian local media).

So you better return the "damned aid" before cursing it under your breath.

There is no need to bring the past colonial loot and plunder into this discussion. Indian members should show some restraint because we do have good relations with Britain. even if we disown their contribution.

sure, the NGOs that received money should return it if they want.. NGOs of these sort are not accountable to anybody the way they spend the money, some of it vanishes into thin air, as has been found in case of certain UK based charities.(money that was supposed to be spent in africa miraculously found its home to UK..)
I am sure people who donate have good intentions and I don't think anybody is talking about that money(private charity). Its the UK govt spending money on India based NGOs we are talking about.

No need to be thankful here, they have looted much more from (undivided) India compared to those miniscule 'aid'. Good that the farce has ended.

Now it is time to wrap up that Commonwealth; the last remaining legacy of colonial British raj, we should pull out of that, others will follow.

Dear Friend- Among the common wealth countries, the developed countries are benefiting each other very well. However, 3rd. world countries have hardly any benefits in this association.
