I am glad to see India's charitable giving going up. The problem in India is that they have over a billion people and the population is still growing. At some point the population needs to stabilize at a sustainable level for the available resources of food, water, oil and jobs. Adding more suffering people to the population when so many are already suffering is tragic.
