No. With all the jobs we've outsourced to their country, they can afford to generate and pay for their own g'damn electricity.
I like India, and I like the Indian people... but it's not our duty as Americans to support them, or anyone else in the world, completely.
At some point, they need to make it on their own...
(This applies to everyone in the world, even Americans who survive on hand-outs!)

If given the chance my friend, that is what is the difference between Darwinism and Social Darwinism, Social Darwinism is forced progression while Darwinism is natural progression, if someone steals all your resources then you will not make it on your own.
The natural progression of India has more to do with the British Empire that abused and used India for a long time than anything else, but in todays world they are still used and abused by companies who just do not care and so it progresses to Social Darwinism and we don't want to go there, there is an amount of people that can be used and abused until they rise up and demand their own rights, i believe even China will see this some day, but the difference is that in India, they will hate the US and the UK for their use and abuse of the population and in China, it has been the government that has abused the people.
How do you expect them to make it on their own if they were never given the chance to do so?
First the UK and now the US and the demands are high while a few people make bucks, capitalism works in a well organised society like the US or the UK or the EU countries, but it doesn't work with extreme capitalist rules like none of our societies have, we all have rules and regulations against people working for nothing and living in small huts or ten year olds welding.
And all of this is tied into everything else, treat people like shit, disrespect them and one day they'll come back, bigger than you are and they'll whoop your arse.
See the start of terrorism in India against foreigners is already happening, we pretend it's against Juslims but you know as well as i do that that shit isn't true. Do we really want the LTTE to start turning on our tourists? They have refrained this far, the group that you know as well as i do are not suffering from any lack of supporters.
So my suggestion, with this very long post is that we start treating India like a nation of equals instead of a nation to be abused for more cash in our pockets.
