So should we expect India's ingrates to pay us back all the billions we gave them before then, not to mention the emergency arms assistance we gave them during the Sino-Indian war in 1962?

India has received more foreign aid than any other developing nation since the end of World War II--estimated at almost $55 billion since the beginning of its First Five-Year Plan in 1951. ...The bulk of American aid to India was disbursed from 1955 to 1971. - LINK

While India has received more foreign aid from the United States than has any country in the world, New Delhi consistently has criticized the U.S. for insufficient assistance and demanded, as a matter of alleged right massive transfers of wealth from the developed nations of the North to the developing countries of the South in constructing a New International Economic Order. While borrowing substantial amounts of money from capitalist countries and institutions including a recent record 5.7 billion from the International Monetary Fund, India consistently has denounced the capitalist system and squandered money on its own form of state socialism. While criticizing the arms race among the superpowers and excoriating excessive defense spending compared to foreign aid in the West, India has built the fourth largest army in the world and has engaged in a major buildup of weaponry, mostly purchased from the Soviet Union. - LINK

That article is a very one-sided vitriolic anti-India blather. Paul Olkhovsky is a Paki and the article is from the cold war era when it was fashionable for the US media to spew against India. I would disregard the whole article as paki-BS.

The emergency arms assistance in 1962 was only a token gift that was too little too late. The Chinese actually withdrew under pressure from the Soviet Union.

You are quoting some antiquated articles. But to set the record straight, during the Kennedy administration the relations with India were good and JFK used India to spy on China. So foreign aid should be seen in that context. I dont think you would know that. So learn something first before you call people ingrates.

Nixon screwed up the relationship when he supported Pakistan and the Bangladesh genocide. India is not to be blamed for the sour relationship.
Besides, I dont think India has recieved high levels of aid in recent history.
