Divya Delhi:  The US Agency for International Development is accused of sponsoring operations in other nations, notably India, to further US political goals and strategic purposes. After President Donald Trump founded the Department of Government Efficiency  directed by Elon Musk, which revoked grants to several projects, including those in India, the matter received significance. The dispute began on social media and spread to mainstream media. India's former Principal Economic Adviser and current Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council member Sanjeev Sanyal called "the biggest scam in human history." He also requested details on how USAID spent US$21 million in India to boost voter turnout. This severe denunciation follows social media fact-checking and independent investigation exposés. These fact-checkers and investigators have detailed how purportedly undermined democracies and national sovereignty, including India. Many accusations are substantiated by report screenshots, released documents, and WikiLeaks correspondence. The internet is saturated with counter-fact-checking and verification of these statements. An exhaustive government and agency probe and a re-audit of accounting by government-appointed independent auditors could clarify the problem and make the facts public. Section 3(1) of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 prohibits the following people and organizations from accepting foreign contributions: In this scenario, Parliament's meaning is clear: Indian residents can engage in political activities, but they must be locally funded and not international. This restriction is because the government opposes foreign—governmental and non-governmental—influence on Indian politics and policy. The Indian government banned foreign funding of political activities to prevent meddling. Over two centuries of foreign rule in India led to this position. History shows how Western powers have installed obedient governments by overthrowing democracies and installing dictatorships. Many government shifts were facilitated by public movements like student protests. The Colour Revolutions in West Asia and Euromaidan events in Ukraine are examples of externally directed political activity disguised as popular movements.
