How hard is it to for the west to understand that the billionaires of India, who already bear the heaviest tax burden in India, do not want to be burdened with the poverty of India, and do not want to be wealth shamed. Several billionaires have moved their domicile out of India in protest of over-taxation. If their tax burden is increased as the opposition party wants to do, the last few billionaires will leave India as well. No country has ever changed its fortune by driving out its billionaires. They run free schools, charities, food banks. They feed the locals for days during every wedding ceremony. And they don't want to be guilt shamed any more for splurging their wealth.

[@sansin6250]

India is poor not because the billionaires splurge their wealth, but because inefficiency and corruption in governance is systemic and sky high.

India preaches non materialism. But actually, they are very materialist. Even Jinnah sold out India, just so he could sell Fish. I left in 1958.

Wedding is always like this call it poor or rich they save their money to spend on their most precious once in life time moment why so salty about it its not like we are crazy for Dior, channel, Prada in day to day life like you guys we value every thing and respect and promote non materialism and if u wish an asia richest person to marry just in 100 dollars then u need to wale to reality

Media: why don't you show the charity that Ambanis do. Be fair!!

[@Zak-qh5tb]

I will tell you about an example from my state. A wealthy millionaire purchased mobile phones for 100 unfortunate people in a village in my state. Our media did not give excess media attention to him, and he complained that our media doesn't promote charity done by rich people in our state. The media and public replied to him, that even normal person with basic salaries build houses, pay for entire education, pay for entire food requirements for poor section of our society. With Ambani jis billions and billions of wealth and many billionaires in Mumbai, the charity must also match their level of wealth, which means Mumbai should be the best city in the world with no slums, everyone getting free education, food etc. But in reality, Mumbai is city with biggest wealth gap and huge difference in living standards, where majority of the poor continue to struggle.

[@hemasharma6364]

@@Zak-qh5tb isn't it the job of politicians who are receiving all the taxes paid by us? When people collect in hordes to shower the so-called public servants with flower petals, why is this question not asked from them. Despite paying them, the public is not holding them accountable but a businessman who is better off than neerav modi and jj malya, who is still doing some charity and creating employment for Indians. I am not an Ambani fan but question the people whom we have elected to remove poverty, slums and rising prices.

[@Zak-qh5tb]

@@hemasharma6364 I agree with you that the issues of the country are the sole responsibility those involved in governance, administration and judicial system, and there have been huge failures under different governments which has brought us to our current state where corruption and incompetence is rampant.
