India and America - How long the bear hug go?

[LeGenD]

Once can understand your predicament since not so long ago your country enjoyed privileges that no one else in South Asia had with the US. However, the way your country and countrymen dealt with the partnership was based solely on vested interested of a few.
India-US have more person-to-person relationship and mutual respect that was severely missing in your country's relationship with the US. Indians have always put their head down, educated themselves and contributed to the American society.
The Indo-US relationship stems more from this than our politicians. Hence, trying to equate Pakistan's relationship with the US to the Indo-US relationship is foolish.

This is correct - as painful as this sounds.

Unfortunately, many in Pakistan still don't get it.

i think Modi gave the lollipop to trump.. after getting benefits India will not go against NK but meanwhile India will defiantly do some activity to show off, india has experienced after observing that what happened with pak, as far as my concern India wanna be a regional power and it can only be done if India dont mess with regional countries... because if any misadventure happen then India have to lose enough economically and military and then china will definitely be ahead many decades. that's why India cant afford the mess up with any other country after pak & china. india is going very smartly because india is getting benefits from the whole world economically, democratically and geopolitically by both hands using Super Powers (U.S, China, Russia). it is amazed that no one is asking from india that where do you stand with

India is standing with the West. It always has even during the Cold War. There is nothing India can contribute versus North Korea. Okay we don't send C-130s to North Korea to purchase missile technology.

God damn, do you live in UK with this english ?
Hope at least you have any clue of whatever you wanna say.

If you've ever been to the UK, there are many many Indians who speak Hinglish, which is not just weird but annoying also.

India has to stand with some 'daddie' because India alone is just a 'baby'.

Fool those who don't know what you are!

India received $ 65.1 billion in economic assistance from the US in inflation-adjusted dollars in the period 1946-2012, closely followed by Israel, which received $ 65 billion.

Now tell me why US has been giving you more dollars than it's giving to the Jewish baby?

Do you think Americans have been giving you only because you have Bollywood or because your dhotis look like parachute?

HISTORY of US AID to INDIA

The United States has invested in India’s development since President Harry Truman’s signed the India Emergency Food Assistance Act in 1951. USAID’s program has evolved progressively over the decades from emergency provision of food, to infrastructure development, capacity building of key Indian institutions, support for the opening of the Indian economy and more.

U.S. economic assistance has followed a similar trajectory. In 1960, food aid accounted for 92 percent of the annual assistance budget. In the late 1970s, projects included rural electrification, fertilizer promotion, malaria control, agricultural credit, integrated health and population programs, irrigation schemes and social forestry.

By the mid-1980's, the program shifted to focus on science and technology with an emphasis on policy and institutional reforms. Programs addressed agricultural research, alternative-energy technology development, biomedical research, water resources management and family planning. Technology transfer and institution capacity building were integral to these activities.

From 1992 to 2002, approximately 65 percent of the annual U.S. foreign assistance funding for India was dedicated to food aid. The sixty-year-old India food aid program ended in 2011, and the 2012 budget request has no food aid.

USAID has played an important role in India, including:

• Establishing eight agricultural universities with world-class agricultural research capacity;
• Establishing the first Indian Institute of Technology and 14 regional engineering colleges;
• Supporting capital market development to improve administration and price transparency on the stock exchanges;
• Launching the first municipal bond in the region for water supply and sanitation infrastructure development;
• Launching the "green building" movement in India -- catalyzing over 1.2 billion square feet of LEED-registered green building space in the country; and
• Strengthening India’s national programs on immunization, family planning, maternal and child health, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and polio.

then why not send your soliders to fight with Taliban as per U.S demand.

They can't. Taliban will begin a string of suicide attacks in their Bollywood film industry. Hence no cinemas, no life!

This is like reading a diary of a angry ex , so much butthurt . India is a dominant regional juggernaut of Asia they will have good relationship with whom they see fit . Just because USA dumped Pakistan doesn't mean the end of your country , seriously chill.

Don't think you're a new girlfriend. You have always been receiving kisses on the butt while we were having 'bear hugs' with USA.

*Check the data above of US Aid to India.

I hate to agree with most of your comment

 

[Hamzay]

India gives more aid than it recives , India shells out 88billion $ Every year in aid , unlike Pakistan that needs aid to survive without financial crises.

If India is an aid donor then why receiving aid for food?

Trump is just a salesman, he'll say anything to sell a product or service.

You have some valid points but Americans will not treat you with respect, mark my words. They know India has money and its a massive market, they cannot afford to say anything which will hurt their bottom lines. Americans only invest if there's a sizable ROI. Look at how Trump treated Europeans! Heck he started threatening Canada over lumber and dairy, redrafting NAFTA and now we're resorting to become more militarily independent.

Trump will say what you want to hear, but he'll impose more visa restrictions on Indian workers. There's more to come. Tread very carefully

Kek i receive aid ? first stop feeding yourself from my aid money then talk about India

Also aid programs are essential for bilateral relations , Britains aid programs gives it a solid footing anywhere in the world

We're talking about US aid, not the British aid. Britain itself is getting aid from US.

European Union also is relaxing after a burden like Britain kicked itself out.

Britain can't give 'aid' to any of ex-dominions. British pirates and robbers plundered Asia and Africa, and after stealing their resources, Britain was shagged in world wars and now after returning peanuts to ex-dominions, the 'thieves' think they are giving aid?

Is there anything called shame?

always remember there is no value of sacrifice for others just like Pakistan sacrificed for U.S from Soviet era to Afghan war.. and still pak is suffering from the bloody terrorist attacks backed by India.. just one misunderstanding and U.S will backstab you for sure.. U.S backstabbed to Pakistan by allowing Indian agency in Afghanistan..
i doubt India will ever sacrifice for U.S. time will tell you
