Please return the $100 million that the US sends to India every year in foreign aid. It's blood money.

India doesn't need that amount, if we go by the billions that India has been giving out to its neighbour countries (including Pakistan) from its own foreign aid fund reserves. But if someone is hell bent on giving aid to India, She will surely not decline. (And don't raise such strawmen, as I said I'm not interested)
I have found that all my pointless philosophical speculation hinders my practice.
What ever helps to fulfill Sanatana Dharma in our daily life!
I agree.That is hypocrisy.
I only hope after the next years election that is corrected.If India does not need it, nor are you interested then refuse it.
This one also seems reasonable, going by the ways of the world. So I guess, this is it. ba-bye RF, dear members. So far so good.Moreover, you participate on a privately-owned forum domiciled in the US.

I did not know that. How did you learn it?
We do not talk about small change. Talk about billions or trillions.Please return the $100 million that the US sends to India every year in foreign aid.

Do you refuse a gift? That is arrogance. But we have to co-exist. We have our interests, you have yours. We understand that. We bought the 68 jets – 8 Boeing 777-200LR Worldliners, 15 Boeing 777-300ER,18 Boeing 737–800 and 27 Boeing 787–8 Dreamliners for God knows how many billions of dollars, but did not buy F-16 or F/A-18E/F Super Hornet for 13 billion dollars, and chose the French aircraft Rafale. We need 126 aircrafts.If India does not need it, nor are you interested then refuse it.
Bhaga our guide, Bhaga whose gifts are faithful, favour this song, and give us wealth, O Bhaga.
Bhaga, augment our store of kine and horses, Bhaga, may we be rich in men and heroes.

BTW, if I go by tradition, Book 7 was written by my forebears, the Vasishthas.
As for Adityas, Tilak has more to say:
"Thus in IX, 114, 3, seven Âdityas and seven priests are mentioned together, though the names of the different suns are not given therein. In II, 27 1, Mitra, Aryaman, Bhaga, Varuṇa, Dakṣha and Aṁsha are mentioned by name as so many different Âdityas but the seventh is not named.
.. and this omission is supplied, by the Taittirîya Brâhmaṇa (I, I, 9, I ). The Brâhmaṇa tells us that Aditi cooked the oblation four times and each time the gods gave her the remnant of the oblation. Four pairs of sons were thus born to her; the first pair was Dhâtṛi and Aryaman, the second Mitra and Varuṇa, the third Aṁsha and Bhag and the fourth Indra and Vivasvat.
Thus instead, of 'tvat punaḥ Mârtâṇḍam â abharat' (she brought again Mârtâṇḍa thither for birth and death), the Araṇyaka reads 'tat parâ Mârtâṇḍam â abharat' (she set aside Mârtâṇḍa for birth and death). The Araṇyaka then proceeds to give the names of the eight sons, as Mitra, Varuṇa, Dhâtṛi, Aryaman, Aṁsha, Bhaga, Indra and Vivasvat.
There is, however, another passage in the Âraṇaka (I, 7, 1-6) which throws some light on the nature of these Âdityas.* The names of the suns here given are different. They are: Aroga, Bhrâja, Patara, Patanga, Svarṇara, Jyotiṣhîmat, Vibhâsa and Kashyapa; ..
The Âraṇyaka admits, to a certain extent the force of this objection, but says 'aṣhṭau to vyavasitâḥ', meaning that the number eight is settled by the text of the scripture, and there is no further arguing about it. The Shatapatha Brâhmaṇa, III, 1, 3, 3, explains the legend of Aditi somewhat on the same lines. It says that seven alone of Aditis sons are styled Devâḥ Âdityâḥ (the gods Âdityas) by men, and that the eighth Mârtâṇḍa was born undeveloped, whereupon the Âditya gods created man and other animals out of him. In two other passages of the Shatapath Brâhmaṇa, VI, 1, 2, 8, and XI, 6, 3, 8, the number of dityas Âis, however, given as twelve. In the first (VI, 1, 2, 8) they are said to have sprung from twelve drops generated by Prâjapati and then placed in different regions (dikṣhu); while in second (XI, 6, 3, 8)* these twelve Âdityas are identified with the twelve months of the year."

That is a bit unfortunate. Because it is well referenced.मैत्रावरुणिः;3604014 said:Sorry, but I don't really care what Tilak has to say. You do realize no one, besides you, takes him seriously.
Oh, yes. We are ourselves to blame for most of our problems. Others also have created some. Particularly, the murders of some of our nuclear and aerospace scientists and engineers, a-la-Iran, and bringing our space scientists under suspicion for espionage, fire in our computer chips factory, etc. You can say real-politik, the way the game is played among nations.However, my point was and still is that no matter how much money, whether it was a loan or a gift, especially if it is a gift or a loan debt forgiven, KT had no right to lash out at Americans, ..
