Why have we done so? In India's case I think it's because the goverment have hoped that by giving them aid we would have some influence when it comes to India buying things (such as weapons, planes etc)
India aren't particularly bothered whether we do or don't, and we are stopping aid soon

The Indian finance minister, Pranab Mukherjee, last year said the country no longer wanted or needed the British aid, describing the money as "a peanut in our total development expenditure".
