Foreign Aid for Natural Calamity - Should India Accept offer to Kerala flood relief from UAE?
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, offered Rs 700 crore as aid after being persuaded by Kerala’s l Gulf tycoon and LULU chain owner Yusuf Ali MA. Qatar’s ruler offered Rs 35 crore and the Maldives came in with $50,000.
There has been outrage on social media against the Indian government’s ‘ but no thank you’ reply to them.
Since the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh politely but firmly told all potential donors that India would ask them if it needed financial aid, India has done its own rebuilding and rehabilitation work during disasters in the 2013 Uttarakhand floods, and the 2014 Kashmir floods.
As India’s economy grows healthy and it can afford to set its own house in order after natural disaster, why do we need to take assistance from other countries, and suddenly reverse that policy and accept foreign aid. Successive Indian governments have also discovered that once you open those gates, you end up with a lot of unnecessary diplomatic obligations, doubtful assistance and may have other underlying complications.
Those who make sounds on social media and clamour for specifically UAE aid, are understandably few in a crowd . Those who are affected are being taken care and will be taken care.
Almost all Indian states have chipped in, along with oil and airline companies. The food ministry is opening up its granaries. Even ordinary citizen and India Inc. is helping.

It is a right decision. India is a vast and self reliant country. It has the strength to face any disaster. If India becomes corruption free, the cost of reconstruction will come down considerably. In fact corrupt politicians and babus treat such calamities as an opportunity to make fortunes in every State by inflating the amounts of claims and siphon off major chunk of the aid money received from various sources. more

Govt.of India acted rightly as per policy adopted by the erstwhile UPA congress govt. All these furore is only in paid media/TV channels. There is no bar to help the affected in 'kind'.by any. On Fri, Aug 24, 2018 at 8:49 PM Sreekumaran Ganga Narayan < support@localcirclesmail.com> wrote: > more
