Giving back has always been synonymous with the Indian ethos and spirituality, charity for the underprivileged, philanthropy in life, detachment of material possessions and renouncement are the fabric of Hindu philosophy. Even Gautama Buddha realized this impermanence and gave up his kingdom in order to alleviate the suffering of the poor. In the west although imperfect, politicians and industrialists who have abused power entrusted to them and usurped it to amass huge fortunes have had a change of heart like the Nobel foundation, Rockefellers and now the new breed of Billionaires have all had a change of heart and willed away the fortunes to the underprivileged. They no longer want those mercurial moments inspired by poignant sighting through rose (dark) tinted glasses of a Cadillac or Porsche to be forgotten. They are all mapping out and changing the entire philanthropic landscape with their largesse the altruistic eco-system is undergoing rapid change. Perhaps the impermanence of wealth and fame has made them sit up and put their best dainty foot forward in an elegant stride to sharing the good life.
