India is committing a billion US dollars to Afghanistan. This Indian generosity is not seen anywhere else. Not even inside India itself, where the world’s largest poverty and health problems exist. The US is now inviting India to send cheap soldiers to Afghanistan to rescue the Americans where NATO and the British won’t help. The argument that US and Indian officials often make revolves around how charitable India is when it does this work, and that Pakistan is just trying to spoil the party.
But why is it that India is not spending a penny on charity anywhere else in the world but Afghanistan?
India is purely driven by its desire to secure Afghan soil for espionage against Pakistan. The Americans know this and it is obvious thay want India in Afghanistan in order to maintain this occupied country as a military and intelligence outpost to destabilize the region.
So next time anyone tries to peddle Indian involvement in Afghanistan as charity work, please show them this picture and the accompanying story about astronomical poverty in India that makes spending a billion dollars in Afghanistan a joke, unless it is about something other than charity.
Check out the story with the picture above. Story is titled, India's Secret Flushed Out At Last. It is posted here and here.
Candid!
ReplyDeletei want to see the comments of indians here!
i will post this on my blogsite as well by mentioning your site's link.
Thanks fro sharing it, i was in search of a story just like this!
Well well well..... typical half truths from the master of conspiracy theory peddling. A simple google search turns up India's aid recipients
ReplyDeleteNepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Malawi, Haiti, Mauritius... and India and China are emerging as the largest aid donors to Africa.
But I can imagine why you guys are annoyed with India's aid to Afghanistan. All you lot gave it was the Taliban and I'm sure the Afghans really enjoyed their brand of Islam..... as opposed to the roads that India has constructed and the hospitals and schools that have already been put in motion. Now obviously, you lot don't like the Afghans getting any proper help do you....
But it's fine. I'm waiting for the denials about our aid efforts. And yes, please feel free to use that image. All you can do is laugh. All we can do is progress.....
Thats as ridiculous as it can get.Yes, India has poverty with millions still in poverty.So does that means that India should spend all its money only on removing it.Economics is about managing limited resources. If we had unlimited resources,surely more money would have surely been on poverty. Pakistan's average per capita islower than India. Yet it spends disproportionate amount of its GDP on defence. Why is that?I can give similar pics from Pakistan. Pakistan is not a rich country becoz it were then it would nothave to keep begging to the US or China. But i want to base my arguments on logic rather than rhetoric.
ReplyDeleteAnd let me tell u that Pakistan too has committed aound 200 million for Afghan reconstruction. Why on earth is that?I can use the same argument Pakistan wants to use Afghans in its proxy war against India. It was settled severalAfghan families in POK and Northern Areas.
Moreover India does not share its border with Baluchistan. Hence it can never directly support them even it wants to.Your so called ally US is control of Afghanistan and if India were doing anything, how is it that they never `got to know.But they keep bombing ur villages.
So why is India funding reconstruction in Afghanistan. Becoz it wants stability in the region. Fundamentalism that is on the risecan easily spread to India and with 13% Muslim population, a small part of them may get radicalized. Further, India's GDP is more than 1 trillion per year.The amount committed is over the next 5 years. Thats 200 million per year or less than 0.02% of the annual GDP. If spending such a smallamount can help avoid the potential damage then its worth it becoz the potential damage is much larger than 1 billion. Furthermore,Indian development work has been primarily in constructing highways and roads. Some these are even operational.
Moreover, this is not the only place where India has committed funds. India recently gave similar 1 billion package to Bangladesh.African nations too have been given aid.
@ReeBz ... you should have asked for billion euros. Indians are all over this now :D
ReplyDelete@indians ... you have too much time. Your GDP-PDP comment are same all the time for every question asked about india. I cant be bothered going through you 120000 word essay. U R Responsible for terrorism in Pakistan and all I know is that you will pay for it!
Khe khe khe ... i smell something buring here.
ReplyDeleteIt is not true that India has been providing aid to other countries around it, like Nepal and others, and so aid to Afghanistan worth US$ 1.2 billion is no big deal.
ReplyDeleteLet alone a billion dollar, India hasn't given even a hundred million to any of those countries. Yes there have been some forms of aid. But nothing even close to the amount committed to Afghanistan.
Of course, 1.2 billion doesn't compare with much more than this that Pakistan has given Afghanistan since 1979. Pakistan has and continues to bear the burnden of providing basic services to close to three million Afghans. Hundreds of thousands of Afghan citizens have received health and educational services from Pakistan for free.
If quantified, the cost of Pakistani assistance to Afghanistan runs into billions of dollars.
But most importantly, India is in Afghanistan because of Pakistan. Take out Pakistan from the equation and India's deep concern for humanity [as Indians are trying to convince us] would disappear.

ReplyDelete1. Make up ur mind, do u want India to contribute or not. First u argue that India shud not contribute becoz there is enuff poverty in India. Next u say that Pakistan has contributed for Afghans despite poverty. So if Pakistan can contribute why can't India do.
2. Most of Pakistan's aid to Afghans is actually given by the West. Pakistan is merely an intermediary.
3. Pakistan has consistently not allowed India to help the Afghans. It does not allows goods to pass through its territory. India's aid is primarily delivered through Iran. So by not allowing India to participate and then claiming that Pakistan is the one that helping Afghans is ridiculous.
4. Pakistan is also the one that has consistently helped Taliban and it helped them establish Shariah in Afghanistan. I am sure that was out of humanity.

ReplyDeleteIndian actions in Afghanistan should be seen in the light of cunning yet amoral teachings of Chankia Kautalia (on whose teachings Indian Foreign Policy is based).
a. Neighbours of an enemy (in this case Pakistan) are your natural allies.So invest in them.
b.Enemy of the enemy is your friend. So invest in them.
c. Donot attack the enemy if you cannot prevail over him. Thus the Indian designs to take away our nuclear capability through Israeli and US help.
d. Do not let the enemy to survive another day if you have the capability to prevail over them. Thus explains the Indian entry into East Pakistan (now Banga Desh) and dismemberment of Pakistan.
The only survival for Pakistan is to maintain a credible deterrent with the political will to use it at the time to make sure that Pakistan is not the only country without a chair in this gane of International Musical chair. If India wants to be bombed into stone age, then so-be-it.

I may not be the only link collector, but u r not the only photo collector either and I can go post similar in Pakistan.
ReplyDeleteAnd why is it that u ppl r lined up separately at International Airports? Ohh i guess thats becoz u belong to the land of pure.
And why is it that the like of Osama, Dawood chose to live in Pakistan. Ohh right, thats again becoz it is the land of the pure.
And why is it that u chose to ask such question to India and never to ur own millitary? Ohh is it becoz u ppl dont have the balls to ask?
Like I said ... Annoying!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd like I said u dont have balls. U chose to attack when u like but when some1 counters u just escape by saying annoying. U deserve to be ruled by military and fanatics.
