"Charity starts at home". This sober thought find place & is fitted in many lectures or discussions where we emphasize on self initiated givings. You can be introduced to some charity or social cause to provide your contributions, still you can't be forced. This is what I learned & understood. This doesn't seems to be the way our Govt or bodies are behaving. Recently I heard of some bill to be passed which talks about mandatory CSR( corporate social responsibilities).
How funny it would be to see that the bearer of all tax amount and of all the earnings asks someone else to be more generous. I was going through an article "Indians Shouldn't Have to Apologize for Profits*"which motivated me to write this post. Now the question is Will people/businessman really earn for society?
I really can't support this thought - where govt on one hand earns as much as it can through all means, whether good or bad and on the other hand asks it's bodies and social firms to spend for the bad it has done. Also a common man never comes to know where his/her hard earned money went away. Let me specify- on one hand govt earns through tax on liquor and promotes more shops in good markets and on the other hand spends and asks corporate houses to spend on rehabilitation of habitual drinkers. This being just one of many examples of wasteful & illogical usage of funds.
Going forward Govt asking major business houses to spend a mandatory amount on social cause, hence in other way it is commercializing the real causes which is some way though minutely is running for betterment of poor & needy. This could also lead to malpractices where these houses may showcase something which was never there, hence in reality situations becomes darker.
On the other hand Govt could have motivated through genuine means or through relaxation on taxes
to the ones who really want to help. There could have been better initiatives from govt in a PPP model so that more people could have joined the cause.
I am still doubtful about the meaningful usage of this amount for the poor & needy and seems it will again be used for the benefit of wealthy, as there is already a problem with usage of the amount collected through taxes. Hence Govt must first realign all its expenditure before bringing in more collections. You can't force someone to participate in charity but can impress or inspire through examples and leadership.
