Giving with a Thousand Hands: The Changing Face of Indian Philanthropy Sundar, Pushpa (Development specialist, Development specialist, Indian Centre for Philanthropy, New Delhi, India.)

Making an important distinction between charity and philanthropy, Giving with a Thousand Hands argues that while charity is alive and well in India, the country is short on philanthropy defined as altruistic giving on a large enough scale to bring about transformative social change. The author in this book offers a vision for the future of Indian philanthropy, maintaining that it has a vital role to play in the country and needs to be encouraged through various measures.
