India’s billionaire club slow to share riches

Charity is a part of every society. Australia and Canada rank 1st and 2nd in this ranking so do you think that they are making people lazy? Charity creates an economic balance in a society. Governments can only do so much.

The Australian's and Canadian's will get the charity and make themselves self sustainable in life.

In my state, the Chief Minister ordered free 3 day food daily in all Churches, Temples and Mosques... I seen many people just the same people(NOT old, NOT handicapped, In perfect shape) eat the food and sleep in parks and beaches!

Charity concept in south asian countries is flawed. In Pakistan people usually give charity to organisation in the form of zakat like free schools and medical treatment but i have to admit some people are still hooked to this free money treatment. People can decide where they want to give their money i.e. Orphanage, Hospitals for free treatment, Cancer research organisations etc.

In my opnion sane people should beat that Cheif Minister up as he is responsible for development not creating beggars. Our government is doing the same $hit under the name of benazir bhuto income support.

Who said anything giving charity to india. The post is about how much charity people give to their own countrymen. Secondly concept of charity is completely flawed in south Asian countries. In UK there are charity based research organisations who are doing research in medical field like cancer and heart treatment research. Giving charity doesn't mean giving it to a person directly but an indirect help by giving them free education and medical treatment can do wonders in a society. In my opinion a society prospering by neglecting its poor gets its progress hampered in the long term.

i was talking abt the same .not abt foreign donations to india..at this time what we need is more investments and jobs..regarding research and stuff we're already doing it..many private and gvt institutions stands fore front like TIFR,CCMB,IISER etc..its the responsibility of govt to look after its poor not the entreprenuers.and our govt is doing it..about 200 billion dollars is the non plan expenditure for various welfare programmes.and u can see this in the results..our literacy rate has increased to 74%..povert is decreased to 27% the trend shows consitent improvement in various parameters.today india comprises one of the largest middle classes in the world..every year we are lifting 1-2% of people out of poverty which means about a million or 2..everything may not be perfect here.but things are improving
