The United States, over the period 1946-2012, has given India the largest amount of economic assistance, while providing Israel the greatest quantity of military assistance over the same interval, according to data compiled by USAID.

The US also gave Israel the greatest total foreign assistance over the 66-year period, at $199 billion.

The data, which is inflation adjusted, shows India received approximately $65.1bn in economic assistance from 1946 until 2012, followed closely by Israel, which was given $65bn.

With $44.4bn received as economic assistance from the US, Pakistan is also among the top five countries to receive economic assistance out of a total of 200 countries and regions .

Top 10 countries receiving US economic assistance from 1946-2012

1. India: $65.1bn
2. Israel: $65bn
3. United Kingdom: $63.6bn
4. Egypt: $59.6bn
5. Pakistan: $44.4bn
6. Vietnam: $41bn
7. Iraq: $39.7bn
8. South Korea: $36.5bn
9. Germany: $33.3bn
10. France: $31bn

Indian economic aid is spread out over various sectors and programs, including child survival and health, development assistance, HIV/AIDS initiatives, migration and refugee assistance, food aid, and narcotics control. The bulk of this aid ($26bn) is provided to various USAID programmes.

The majority of Israel's $65bn economic assistance was given to its Economic Support Fund and Security Support Assistance, with $56.5bn alone attributed to these programmes.

In comparison, of the $44.4bn provided to Pakistan in economic assistance, $13.8 is given to USAID programmes, while $13.7 is attributed to the Economic Support Fund and Security Support Assistance.

Israel received $134bn in military assistance over 1946-2012 ─ a figure which far outnumbers military assistance provided to the the second entrant on the list, Vietnam, at $77.9bn.

Top 10 countries receiving US military assistance from 1946-2012

1. Israel: $134bn
2. Vietnam: $77.9bn
3. Egypt: $62bn
4. Afghanistan: $48.3bn
5. Turkey: $42.2bn
6. South Korea: $41.1bn
7. France: $33bn
8. Greece: $29.5bn
9. China: $26.3bn
10. Iraq: $24.7bn

Pakistan just misses being on the top 10 list, coming in at twelfth place with $12.9bn in military assistance from the US. India, however, is placed at 47 out of a list of 193 countries, receiving $897 million in military assistance.

It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan received most of the military assistance from the US during the superpower's involvement in Afghanistan during the 1980s and then after 2001.

The US non-military aid to Pakistan for the period 1991-2001 averaged just $75 million per year, while the total military aid during the eleven-year period was a paltry $7 million.

Pakistan also falls short of the list of countries receiving the greatest amount of total foreign assistance form the US ─ but India and Israel both make the list, with the latter in the top spot.

Pakistan comes in at eleventh place on the list, with $57.3bn in total foreign assistance ─ over $100bn less than the amount received by the top position holder on the list.

Countries receiving greatest total foreign assistance

1. Israel: $199.5bn
2. Egypt: $121.6bn
3. Vietnam: $118.9bn
4. South Korea: $77.6bn
5. Afghanistan: $76.9bn
6. United Kingdom: $71.5bn
7. India: $66bn
8. Turkey: $64.4bn
9. Iraq: $64.3bn
10. France: $64bn

Now i realize...why being an NGO is a profitable bussiness for some people in India..there are people who wants to make an NGO as their career rather than being doctor or engineer!!!!

 

[Icewolf]

U.S. should use Vedic math. As usual their calculations are completely wrong. Using Vedic math, Pakistan is the largest recipient of foreign aid totaling $64 trillion dollars!!

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

The US provided a lot of "military assistance" to the KMT (including all the most modern military technology), yet the KMT still lost the Chinese civil war in 1949.

All that military assistance the KMT received from America was directly used against the interests of China. They might as well have fired the shots themselves.

@ChineseTiger1986

Where American "aid" goes, their interests go as well. Does anyone really believe they are throwing billions of dollars a year at foreign governments just for fun.

Your supa powa brothers in Arab don't take aid & still pi$ses in the name of Israel.So I hope you get the fact.We don't get any assistance now.It is 2015

Wonder how many NGO's did they fun during the same period - Foreign-aided NGOs are actively stalling development projects in India - The negative impact on GDP growth is assessed to be 2-3 per cent per annum - The NGOs become the central players in setting the agenda, drafting documents, writing in the media, highlighting scholars-turned-activists and lobbying diplomats and government and the USAID is no different from it.

Foreign-aided NGOs are actively stalling development, IB tells PMO in a report | The Indian Express

USAID funds Ford Foundation as well - which is well known for it's role in inciting mass movements against governments all across the globe.

No wonder when the Modi Administration went on crackdown on these USAID funded NGO's - The US state department protested and logged multiple complains against the Indian government's crackdown on the NGO's.

US even funded agitation against the Joint Indo-Russian Nuclear Power Project in Kudankulam - a fact well acknowledged by the erstwhile Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh as well.

yet china rise is thanks to the U.S

china was to busy killing it's own citizens in the 50's and 60's just like all communist countries do kill it's own citizens. u.s didn't need to lift a finger for KMT.

i'm for cutting all usaid to all countries. only giving aid when a natural disaster happens

India is a big boy it can stand on it's two feet. bringing up past aid is pointless.

 

[third eye]

What did Pakistan bend over backwards all these years for then ?

It let its land, its people , its infrastructure & much more come in harms way to what avail ?

India despite calling a spade a spade has been a larger beneficiary.. and to answer those who question the logic to taking aid, the answer is - The first principle of business is not to spend your own money.

 

[Icewolf]

Your supa powa brothers in Arab don't take aid & still pi$ses in the name of Israel.So I hope you get the fact.We don't get any assistance now.It is 2015

What do they have to do with Pakistan again?

Indeed - India is a net foreign aid donor with the aid spending dwarfs aid receipts.

I don't know how you are reading this..
Let's do a quick math..

Size of India = 7 times Size of Pakistan.
Assistance to India = 1.5 times to that of Pakistan

Pakistan got much more aid compared to it's size.

But India never had the same problems as Pakistan, never as unstable as Pakistan...

So ... Pakistan had a least 7x problems of india

Leave the size - it's about efficiency - That $44.4 billion USAID even today happens to be complete failure - US lawmakers have started questioning the relevance of the same - US has been aiding Pakistan ever since its Independence but still even after 68 years they haven't sustained their economy to be self-dependent - they won't aid you forever - and of course the "donors" have their own set of vested interests which might not be in the best interest of the state - the sooner you get rid of it - the better it is for the state.

vedas are real so is India.. while pakistan was a fantasy floated in 1947.. this fantasy and dream was half shattered in 1971 and the other half is barely coping up to exist in real terms..

I agree, by using Vedic math calculations Pakistan only has 3 more hours to remain country. India should already prepare to seize and colonize it
