In India, charity begins – and stays – at home - The Globe and Mail: While these temples are so fabulously rich they make the Vatican look like a pawnbroker’s shop, anyone running a charity in India has a hard time. An acquaintance who runs a home for destitute widows outside New Delhi struggles to persuade affluent Indians even to pay for cows so that she can provide the widows with milk.
The culture of philanthropy has yet to take root in India. You hear all the time about weddings that cost as much as the American defence budget, but hardly ever about charity balls or fundraising dinners.
