Article: On Oxfam – Dear Oxfam, Stop Looking For Inequality In India, Go Back To Distributing Blankets

27 January, 2022

Some 25 years ago, I lived in London. I remember that at odd places on different streets, there would be Oxfam outlets where earnest individuals would collect old clothes for distribution among the poor. A worthy Dharmic and Christian act, if I may say so, even at the risk of offending the woke secular sensibilities of people at Oxfam.

Dear Oxfam, I strongly recommend that you go back to your business of distributing “old clothes to the poor”. Stop issuing reports on economics, income, wealth and so on. These are subjects that you are clearly unacquainted with. There is no point in making comical fools of yourselves. This will only end up hurting the very desirable old clothes business. Additionally, I would also request you to stay away from making sweeping generalizations about India, again a subject which your staff seem to be massively ignorant about. Silence about India would suit you best.
