Tendulkar has always been a stingy with his wallet despite having a net worth well over 1200 crore. Same can be said about that petty fake patriot Amitabh Bachchan, who was caught pants down in Panama papers. Here is how much Southern Stars with net worth far less than Tendulkar or Bachchan contributed. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movies/news/coronavirus-crisis-from-prabhas-and-pawan-kalyan-to-allu-arjun-and-mahesh-babu-tollywood-superstars-donate-big-for-relief-efforts/photostory/74844638.cms Edited March 28, 2020 by rangeelaraja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny_Pacquiao Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) India must the only country in the world that genuinely hates the wealthy. Most countries have some sort of working class-angst, but in India, this is very much the norm. Is it some kind of marxist legacy from the indira gandhi era? I find it hilarious how most indians freely criticize the government for being corrupt, and then criticize celebrities for not donating to government-led efforts.

Gollum Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Many small time actors, comedians, stuntmen etc. from South industries have donated a lot, it may not be in tens of lakhs or crores but greatly appreciate their intent. Less we talk about Bollywood, Indian cricketers and Ambani/Adani the better. WC2011INDIA, Stradlater, rangeelaraja and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly .I dont understand why there is so much hate against the millionaires/billionaires amongst not only the poor /middle class but also the upper middle class . I mean who has stopped them from themselves becoming rich? Why so much anger ? And when these same businessmen ,sportsmen,industrialists contribute massive funds for such cause ,they go either dead silent or come up with idiotic reasoning . Blaming the government, bureaucrats even on trivial issues , believe me ,its only them who come forward and try to help the common people in such dire situations. First try to compare yourself as a citizen with those in USA,europe and developed countries before comparing the elected representatives and others Laaloo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, there's enough criticism worldwide of the wealthy. Given our wealth inequality, it's expected to have it higher than average. We could definitely pick up further on compassionate capitalism across income groups. I hope corporations & individuals whole heartedly contribute at least a days salary if not an entire week or more to help the weaker sections overcome this tragedy. raki05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangeelaraja Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The biggest shameless leechad is " big B". A closet megalomaniac with fake modesty. Wonder how much more he needs to secure his son's 5 generations. India has given him EVERYTHING, yet the leechad's "give back to society" is only limited to social messages. Tendulkar is not far too behind Bachchan. For all those morons who are going to bother showing what little these 2 leechads have done my answer is : How much you do must be relatively proportionate to your resources and wealth not an absolute number. South Actors/Heros are a zillion times better these useless cricketers and Bollywoodias Akshay Kumar is an exception. Stradlater 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Realist Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Tendulkar has always been tight as a duck's a$$. When captain of Ind he never took the team out for a meal/drinks and since retirement has given F all back to Ind cricket/society.

Come and spend some time in USA, you will hear non-stop from liberals how the rich are milking the system, some of which is true. However, the uber-rich in US donate far more than their counterparts in India (even if you think is terms of rupees). Clarke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but is there any other country where the independently wealthy are viewed as criminals? That's very india-specific. we keep hearing about modi being called the "suit boot ka sarkar", "ambani adani ki government", "crony capitalism", and so on...as if being associated with corporations makes you evil. this kind of diatribe only exists when there's an audience for it. How do you know they aren't contributing? just because they don't publicize it? maybe they've done their part behind the scenes. 7 hours ago, Audiophile said: Hating the rich is universal. Come and spend some time in USA, you will hear non-stop from liberals how the rich are milking the system, some of which is true. However, the uber-rich in US donate far more than their counterparts in India (even if you think is terms of rupees). I'm from the states. Wealth is often linked with intelligence and 'moral superiority'. Poverty is criminalized, and the poor are ALWAYS held responsible for their own predicament. If someone is wealthy, it is often assumed that they earned their wealth. of course, this doesn't prevent people from questioning the 'utility' of that wealth, and the rich often have to engage in public displays of benevolence to stave off criticism. there is criticism (from the libtards), but it is BALANCED out by the other side, and their points doesn't dominate the conversation. America isn't really a comparison for the rest of the world, we're the only country that views charity as a direct substitute for welfare. Americans - liberals or conservative - generally hated big government and welfare. but there's no doubt that these attitudes are slowly being challenged, because inequality is the highest it has been since the 20s: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/wealth-inequality-in-the-us-is-almost-as-bad-as-it-was-right-before-the-great-depression-2018-07-19 India is completely different. here, i get the feeling wealthy people are not only hated, but they are directly BLAMED for the country's problems. there's a robin hood syndrome that doesn't exist anywhere else. wealth creators are never given their due, and viewed as criminals. look at the congress party's speeches during the lok sabha elections: all they did was scream about wealth redistribution and blame corporates that were "stealing" people's money. the anti-wealthy criticism DOMINATES the conversation, and there's very little balance. the poor, on the other hand, are ALWAYS seen as victims - either of circumstance or of conspiracy - and are often given sympathy. in india, gareebi becomes an identity, almost like a badge of honor. so much so that a poor person saying, "mai gareeb hoon", is often a valid argument (it is not). Imagine a crowd of "migrants" filling up a bus station in the united states, like we recently saw in delhi. what do you think the coverage would look like? I can practically guarantee that we'd have people in the media - and the public at large - calling for the police to disperse these "irresponsible vigilantes defying the law by creating a nuisance". here, it's mostly sympathy.
