USHA asks for an annual economic and military aid package to India that is commensurate
with the improvement in bilateral ties. We believe that such economic aid and military
assistance to India will help build a strong foundation for better relations between
the two countries. We are strongly against faith based initiatives because aid to
other countries is being channeled through religious organizations engaged in prosylitization,
especially in Hindu/Buddhist nations around the world. This policy will significantly
undermine American credibility and power throughout the world. The US cannot advocate
secularism at home and theocracy abroad without eliciting global anger.
