[QUOTE="blr_p, post: 2481379, member: 10952"] No, it was to stop the development of ICBMs. There would be no Agni-5 today had they been successful. Security always takes precedence over commerce. They wanted to roll back our nuclear weapons program. We were not an NPT member. The efforts to get at our scientists like Nambi Narayanan shows the extent they went to stop us. This is all par for the course if you want to enter the big boys club. For domestic consumption. Internal politics over aid and what it should be for. It isn't a critique of India but the UK gov. The thing is these people do not do their homework. What the UK gives money for and to whom is public. The aid isn't aid but investment. Investing in Reliance power and infrastructure funds isn't aid. It's also to lobby for UK business interests to generate profits. How can this be called aid? I remember a similar rant during the MMRCA bidding. The UK was in the race with Eurofigter but after it became clear that Rafale won, PM at the time Cameron went on about how they should not be giving aid to India. Sour grapes that the lobbying efforts came to nought. Why you left out 2019? The way i see it is if he can expend political capital when we fail then he gets to make it back with interest when we succeed. [/QUOTE]
