Bravo, Modi! Modi understands that building up the infrastructure in a country such as Afghanistan is a big step in eliminating terrorist groups! Educating the populace by building schools and libraries is an effective tool! Providing clinics and doctors, India shows that it cares about the well-being of the poorest, rural Afghanis that are so depended on the Taliban warlords for everything!
India is helping to provide a healthy alternative to the Afghani people, helping them to get on their feet!
Meanwhile, Trump couldn't care less about any people, esp not in the poverty-stricken countries, weakened by wars!
Modi shows more wisdom, common sense, and farsightedness than Trump ever could! So proud of Modi and India! Modi did good!

India cannot afford to spend as much as the US on foreign aid, it does whatever it can to help Afghanistan, building a library was a good move, education is important .

[leifharmsen]

Trump doesn't know what a library is for.

[deeyoung]

Literature is the coolest thank you India.

[VanlifewithAlan]

Trump has a library. He has two nice books in it. And they will look even nicer once he has coloured them in.

Dear citizens of India,

We are embarrassed & ashamed. This narcissistic windbag does *not* speak for us. Please accept our heartfelt apology.

Sincerely,
The majority of Americans

[MrPratikorissa]

We are poor and still we contribute to the Afghan economy. America is rich and all it has done is killed and maimed people.

India is the biggest regional donor to Afghanistan and fifth largest donor globally with over $3 billion in assistance. India has built over 200 public and private schools, sponsors over 1, 000 scholarships, hosts over 16, 000 Afghan students." In the aftermath of the 2008 Indian embassy bombing in Kabul, the Afghan Foreign Ministry quoted India as a "brother country" and the relationship between the two as one which "no enemy can hamper"

India also built Afghanistan's parliament building, roads, hospitals and deployed hundreds of doctors and medical staff, but I guess that's all fake news

Right, who needs education and books when you have fox news and twitter

[estebannemo]

Understood that he hates book but not magazines.
