India is a net donor of aid i.e. gives more aid than it receives.

And the so-called 'aid' India gets is long term low interest debt, used to build infrastructure called "Official Development Assistance" (ODA). Even the bullet train project being under construction in India is being built with an ODA loan.

This is where Japanese ODA loans go into.

Meanwhile per capita aid received...

Aid received per capita

This aid thing has been discussed earlier. Quite a few times people get hold of a curtailed document/ article and draw wrong conclusions. The full USAID report is available here:-

https://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PBAAJ833.pdf

The specific details for India and Paksiatn are available at this thread on PDF.

https://pdf.defence.pk/threads/less...over-americans-civil-war.754239/post-14088756

From USAID, in per capita terms, Pakistan has received approx 14 times more than that received by India if total aid is taken into account.

OECD is the other major agency that gives aid. It’s report is available here.

https://www.oecd.org/dac/financing-...ta/World-Development-Aid-at-a-Glance-2019.pdf

OECD aid data from 2010-17 shows that India got 1.8% while Paksiatn got 2% of the total disbursed aid. Considering Indian population size, this would amount to Paksiatn getting about 8 times per capita aid compared to India. Then there are some surprising names in the report. Are these countries poor in any sense? Not really.

Anyone who is really keen to understand this aid business can go over these complete reports and get all the info rather than a poorly authored cryptic article.
