Come on Mike that's just not fair, how is India supposed to become a military superpower if they have to take care of the millions of poor unfortunate people living in abstract poverty, why its the very least we can do!

On the devils advocate front, I'm not sure that we do provide Aid to India any more. But India does Aid to Corus (the old British Steel) and TATA steel heavy trucks did a sort of Aid to Land-Rover when they bought the ailing Land Rover part of MG-Rover out in 2005 or so. Said to be one of the very few 'old' Commonwealth Countries that haven't pooped on us since independence

In Goa for my daughters wedding on the anniversary of the sister hotel terrorist attack in Mumbai, the place was surrounded by Indian Police all armed with SLR's.
Said before, the interesting thing was they all had various white numbers of all differing stencil formats clearly marked on the butts from UK Armed Forces armouries still visible. Now that did make me smile.
There was a lone .303 in amongst the lads too, he was probably the new Constable
The Indian Government knew exactly what they were doing when the SLR was offered up by HMG. It is by far, IMHO the BEST all round weapon ever produced.
Often seen on Libyan tribal interaction footage as well of late!!
