It's time the government shut the foreign-funds tap for NGOs

where did the fool get his tenure? well, any indian university is full of
idiots with tenure, so .. that's probably not relevant here.
he started out on a perfectly good angle - NGOs that treat foreign +
government funding as a cash cow and do far more to line their own pockets
than any kind of public service.
then it went straight into a reprehensible rant that solely targets
christian church type groups
if he wanted to compare donation figures he could compare those to the
figures going into shirdi, puttaparthi, siddhivinayak temple, aurobindo
ashram etc (several of which have 100% tax exemption for social work
projects they carry out, and which also have large, even grandiose building
programs like that huge golden golfball at auroville, for example)
