India's richest man built a $billion dollar house, but would probably not contribute the cost of his toilets to helping poor people. He undoubtedly figures, it is not his problem.
And if it isn't important to them, why should it be important to us? Like we don't have problems of our own.

Yes. Poor Indians. They would NEVER do such a thing. It is a dog eat dog world and the sooner we realize it, the better. Can't change it so we have to be real about it and realize we have to live with it.

Why is it his problem?
