Are you sure... ? Does the US give aid to India? https://explorer.usaid.gov/cd/IND This is of course the type of project that makes you question giving aid.

Why on earth do we give so much money to india,, they are the 2nd/1st most populated country in the WORLD, so why 1 billion plus people need our aid is beyond me.

To be fair, our Statue of Liberty came from France, so I'm not sure how much room we have for trash talk. However, I must say that thing is ugly as sin. It looks like a modern art piece intended to make some snide remark about something. Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to date the Statue of Liberty, but she does make a handsome monument. 1). France was not a rival. They were, and always have been, an ally. 2) It was a gift. The only cost incurred was assembly. When it arrived in the US it took years to get it assembled. A newspaper started a fundraiser (think early crowdsourcing) to get it in place. |

I saw a Youtube vid last night about an Australian company that has employees going door to door aka shanty to shanty selling solar lights to the poor of Indian who have no electricity. The number of poor Indians without electric is estimated at 400 million. Nothing like seeing people bathe in the street and you could see garage everywhere. Hey India, good expenditure of money. Enrich your enemy as your citizens live in the dark and some starve. |

Hundreds of millions for a giant statue of some paunchy non-entity that few have heard of and that nobody will care about in 100 years?
Not even of Gandhi or Nehru? Not Shiva or Brahma or Vishnu? Strange culture they have there. It's equivalent to us building a huge statue of Joe Biden. |

Enrich your enemy as your citizens live in the dark and some starve. You aren't going to change that. The closest Indians ever got to equality was when the British Raj ruled over them. And even then, not all of India were martial races because a good number of them sucked as warriors and soldiers too. India is not one people. It is a conglomeration of various principalities, tribes, and peoples mashed together after the leaving of the UK. They are a cultural and ethnographic failure of an easily conquered people for the most part. Corruption, nepotism, graft, theft, laziness, etc... all are main issues within their society. They only achieved the status they have because of their population and low value on life. |
