Very well put and very true Colwyn, so much money is siphoned off by corrupt governments and doesn't get to the people. When you see the abject poverty in India in so much of the Country while the privileged live so well it is sickening, it has not changed in 50 years and is arguably the most corrupt Country in the World, it exists on a sea of bribery for even the smallest thing. How can they justify this crazy space race?

As a percentage the wealthy in India have amongst the lowest donations tom Charity in the World!

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember a newspaper article that stated that the very rich Indian people do not pay anywhere as near as much tax as they should (legal loopholes etc ). So why is India getting so much aid from us? .

Sorry if this offends anybody.
