My take; We Indians are used to seeing sights of abject poverty everyday and it simply desnsitizes us. Most people from developed nations dont understand whats it like to see these things every single day. Some who come to India, get a huge cultural shock (though it is getting better) and are simply unable to process all the misery they see around them. When I was kid, I used to give money to beggars but now that i am an adult with a steady income, I dont do it anymore. Either I feel that my few rupees is not gonna have any effect on the other person's poverty, or that this beggar is just trying to scam me by leveraging my kindness. I am just a middle class person in India. But if I were to suddenly become super wealthy, I fear I would carry much of this baggage with me. I cant substatntiate this with data, but I believe that rich people from other developing nations also have this problem. they dont give their wealth away. Better education and a growing middle class will help improve the perspective of the average indians. Till then apathy and cynicism will prevail.
