Question mark on foreign funding and their intentions!

Wednesday Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai said that Indian NGOs got ₹ 16,940.58 crore in 2017-18, ₹ 16,525.73 crore in 2018-19 and ₹ 15,853.94 crore in 2019-20 from outside of India .The data make it evident that notwithstanding the political colour of the Central Government and the best efforts of the present one which has a better record of FCRA enforcement, the quantum of FCRA funds has been on relentless rise. Large amount of funding for the so-called non-profit or non-commercial sector in India is generated as overseas ‘donations’ by various organisations that are affiliated to foreign State and non-State actors. As a nation, we have failed to ask ourselves an elementary question: Why should foreigners ‘donate’ such humongous amounts to certain Indians, unless they have an agenda? If their motivation is purely philanthropy alone, then why are they not donating their funds for the needy and destitute of their own countries? Why this unrequited love for India and Indians to the exclusion of their own people?
