Amitabh Bachhan has made 9 crore donation to Tirupati Devasthanam for buying bracelets for Lord Tirupati .I simply can not comprehend this .Imagine offering something so materialistic to GOD .Will not HE be pleased if the money was spent in opening hospitals or schools ?But than I think this is the easiest way of doing philantrophy or easing the conscience .Just abdicate the responsibility .For this I admire Bill Gates and Warren Buffet .Not only they make huge contributions but also see to it that the money is well utilized .Our own Baba Amte is also one such person who has created an Anand Ashram for the lepers the lowliest of the low. There must also be lot of such people some known and most unknown and unsung.I think they are the beloved of God .

There aren't any philanthrophists of the kind west has (Andrew Carnegi, Ford, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet)in India. At best here the rich will go in for construction of temples (Birla) which hardly directly helps the needy. Is there some thing in their religion which motivates them for charity?
