520			_aINDIA is a major aid giver to the Third World countries. From the 1950s through the 1970s India extended technical assistance and capital investment of Rs 25,390 million to 60 countries. Of India's economic assistance and cooperation about 35 per cent has been in the form of technical assistance and 65 per cent in the form of capital investment. The maximum economic assistance has been rendered to the immediate neighboring countries Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burma, Nepal and Sri Lanka. India has emerged as the primary exporter of technology for Third World development. It sends its technical experts to its neighbouring countries, trains their apprentices and students, gifts equipment and undertakes complete turnkey projects. The book clearly portrays how sophisticated Indian industry has become and the progress that Indian science and technology has made over the years. It is intended to serve as an eye-opener to those Western critics of India who are not sufficiently appreciative of India's growing importance to the socio economic aspirations of the Third World countries.
