"In a country like India, the British were only able to rule the country because it had completely co-opted the elite of the country, who did their work for them."

A nation as such does not give aid to another nation. More precisely, the common citizens of our country, through their taxes, give to the privileged elites of another country. As someone once said: foreign aid is when the poor people of a rich country give money to the rich people of a poor country.
