India still receives foreign aid, around 60m pounds from the UK alone this year. Though the UK's development aid will be phased out by 2015, when technical aid & assistance will replace development aid.
China has much higher levels of corruption than India, in terms of pure cash stolen and likely as a percentage of the economy too. Its just that in China the infrastructure is built (even if poorly & massively overpriced, with much hidden) and the pie from which to be stolen from is enlarged by state owned and controlled enterprises. While in India, the infrastructure is not built and the pie mostly stays the same size because no one wants to give up control, even if it means they could steal even more if the pie was bigger.
No, it does not. India had asked UK to stop giving it aid. UK's response was that it reflects badly on domestic politics. India has pledged $10 billion to IMF as aid to EU
Some ministers may have asked Britain to stop providing development assistance, but programs are still being coordinated with Indian ministries and assistance being delivered. At least according to the first link, the 280m pounds is hardly 'peanuts', considering it is targeted development aid that may well have a far greater impact on those it helps, for particular issues they are addressing, than the current government spending.
Many countries and even developed countries take aid. Sure if India accepts even 2 cents as aid from some other country, it is technically getting foreign aid. But I guess the important question is, how much percent of the government expense is in part due to aid from other countries and as far as I understand its not much these days. I think that is the point the other OP was also trying to make.
