'I think we need to remember that India isn't a poor, impoverished country that we have a moral responsibility to. It is now a superpower of sorts.' Benedict Spence and Peter Edwards discuss whether the UK should still be providing India foreign aid. 🤔 What do you think?

The UK should be paying reparations for the centuries of slavery and brutality imposed on the Indian people.

To the best of my knowledge - India has requested UK to stop all aid to entities in India. But UK insists on continuing donations to certain NGO's it favours

Disagree with the last bit. British did not leave India in a much better state. India's share in world GDP uses to be 20-25% when British arrived, and they left it at 2%. India was the manufacturing hub of the world. British deindustrialised it and pushed their own goods.

Who is going to tell these Brits that their money goes to NGO and many ngo those NGO are even profit making. The Indian Government has no control over that money , neither does ISRO.

Have u @GBNEWS ever tracked those €2.3billion that u always claim to have given to India in the form of "aid"? Since 2015 Indian government has refused to take foreign aid. We Indians don't need your peanuts. Just return us the $45 trillion brits looted

India tells Britain: We don't want your aid India’s Finance Minister has said that his country “does not require” British aid, describing it as “peanuts”. 04 February 2012 •

“Benedict Spence and Peter Edwards discuss whether the UK should still be providing India foreign aid.” The UK no longer provides India with Foreign Aid and hasn’t done so for many years. You think a channel masquerading as a news platform would know this.

Nice 👏 The British came to India uninvited, then occupied Bengal which was the the biggest centre of industry in the world and converted it into the largest opium factory on the planet and recruited impoverished Indian soldiers to invade China when they refused to import opium.

UK doesn’t give aid to 🇮🇳 in the way that you suggest (directly to the impoverished). & hasn’t for a while now. You spewed out the same type of spin about aid to China not long ago too IIRC (again, it wasn’t ‘that’ type of aid…..more like research partnerships, investment etc)

If UK has so much money tell em to sort us poor ppl out first. UK in poverty too but @RishiSunak don't care. Weird if I was running the UK, openly, I'd always put UK ppl first. Standard Also will u be giving Pakistan n Palestine aid too? seeing as we're giving every1 handouts.
