Two things have suddenly changed my mind on the topic for today’s post.They are :1. The photo of a tall and slender beauty queen distributing meals on her own to a few hungry hundred and 2. An article I read in Scroll.in It says that over 80 millionaires wrote an open letter urging the governments across the world to substantially increase the taxes on them to help accumulating more funds to fight the pandemic. Sounds incredible ! Is n’t it?
The signatories were from United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Germany and New Zealand, who under the umbrella name “Millionaires for Humanity” called for an “immediate and permanent” imposition of higher taxes on them. Among the signatories were Ben and Jerry’s ice cream co-founder Jerry Greenfield and filmmaker Abigail Disney.The letter went on to say that millionaires like them have a critical role to play in healing of our world !
We are following the stupendous work of Sonu Sood as a one mam army ! Also, people like Amitabh Batchan, Prakash Raj and so many others extending aid to their staff and others through cash and kind is indeed great !
It is time we the well read participate in this great mission to give back to society something we can ! We see the lives and livelihoods shattered, economies battered and beaten, aid scanty and scattered,which is the state of affairs almost all over the globe. Under such circumstances governments alone can not do much, more so when burdened with the Herculean task of bringing the wheels back on to track ! Why delay ! Why not we promote a slogan like #GBS which may be a game changer in the context.I want to share in Part-II, some of the ways we can adopt based on my perceptions and observations .
