Why do all NGOs go to rural India to 'help villagers' ?
When the source of all the problem is urban India and its insatiable appetite.

Mark Johnston Because
tackling our own overconsumption and the exploitation it causes would
make us challenge our privilege and entitlement? Easier to think our
education and intelligence mean we know what is needed better than
people who have lived on the land for many
centuries. Thinking we are more clever than others often illustrates
our remarkably high level of stupidity. Plus middle class Europeans and
Americans will pay a fortune to NGOs to host them on a "gap year" where
they will eat all the villagers food, run off all the carefully managed
water and badly build an unwanted toilet or something equally
inappropriate.
Aparna Krishnan The arrogance is only matched by the ignorance. Fools running wild ... Entitled fools.
