Again, I never said the word 'aid'. My point was that India would
be a lot worse off if it wasn't for the U.S. (some would say the
opposite is true, too).

As it is, India is experiencing a thriving new economy that was
enabled by U.S. companies expansion into their country.

You can re-word my viewpoint to suit your needs any way you want.
Go ahead.
