This book explores what difference development aid has made to
the size, complexity, style of functioning, values and future
direction of the NGO sector in India. It does this, first, by
giving a comprehensive documentation of the experience of Indian
NGOs with foreign aid since Independence. Simultaneously, it also
analyses, in a broad historical perspective, some of the issues
which are the subject of contemporary debate regarding the
voluntary sector and aid, such as who decides ?what? is development
and ?how? it should be brought about; whether foreign donors have
hidden agendas, and if their aid amounts to cultural imperialism;
and whether aid has made NGOs more self-reliant.
The book also looks at the tripartite relationship between NGOs,
donors, and governments, examining, for instance, whether the
government is justified in imposing restrictions on receipt of
funds by NGOs on the grounds that terrorist activities and
religiously motivated communal strife are often financed with funds
from abroad, with NGOs being used as fronts for both.
