Time to give back

While Mr. Bill Gates intends to spend his estimated wealth of $65 billion for the benefit of the poor and on health issues (Jan.20), the people of Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh recently spent Rs.200 crore on rooster fights citing tradition, even when most in the community continue to live in filth, squalor and battle ill-health.

Money in the hands of an intelligent man fetches far greater value than money in the hands of fools.

What a great person Bill Gates is. This enhances his image as a super human being. The report must be read by all in India which is considered and claimed to be the land of dharma . Here, most are interested in looting the nation’s wealth.

V.S. Ganeshan,

Bangalore
