Closed Stop sending foreign aid to India

Closed on

Britain has sent £2.3 billion in aid to India since 2016, despite the government's 2012 pledge to end aid.

With India's booming economy, a space program, and the UK's economic challenges, we think there are valid reasons to halt aid. India's financial capacity, larger economy, and focus on space projects indicate reduced need for foreign assistance. The UK could reallocate aid to countries in greater need, aligning with its domestic priorities.
