Let's look at some statistics :
There are 203 recognised sovereign states in the world.
India has the 4th largest economy in terms of purchasing power whereas the UK is 6th.
The Indian economy has grown by 7.2% since the financial crisis, whereas the UK has managed 2.8%.
Economists predict that by 2020, India will be among the leading economies of the world, and they're pretty much on their way there now it seems.
In addition, it seems that India can afford a space program. It currently has 20 nuclear power stations and is building 4 more. It is a member of ITER - the project that is building an experimental fusion reactor. India has nuclear weapons and indigenous sources of uranium.
To sum up, it seems to be doing everything we are doing and in many areas it is doing more and performing better.
So why exactly, Mr. Cameron, are you giving them £825 million of our money when it seems that they ought to be giving it to us?
