Afghanistan look at India broken infrastructure, ailing economy, 90% debt to GDP ratio, 40yrs highest jobless, education, broken healthcare, bottom human index, hunger index, human rts records, minority treatment, …then it asks with much curiosity:
“Jashankar, are you sure you have extra rupees, food and expertise to help us instead of taking care of your own 900Mils hungry poors still defecating outdoor with broken infrastructures?”
Instead of developing its own broken systems first, India is going around offering aids like wealthy superpower to all neighbors for geopolitical competition with China. This is like arm race bleeding India little resources, while making a great joke of themselves.
$80Mils for 100 high impact projects,….worth $800k each. Speak very loudly but with little $ tight pocket dwarf by China investment.
Chinese would have offered $8Bils aids building mega hydro power, railways, airports, lithium mining projects…with its $80Bils CPEC to link Afgh to Pak, Iran & central Eurasia.
