A family of 4 members paying 552 Rs for 1 time food for a month, which could otherwise cost me a few thousands easily. I am just talking for myself, there are 1000's other such families. I consider this as charity.
FMB works differently at different places, corruption may occur at local levels. However as concept from the centre is weak. There is no need to enforce FMB on each and every household, this has made the scheme impractical. If it was centred around needy, it would be a huge success and sustainable.
There is a famous saying : “There-Shall-Be-No-Free-Lunch” . what kothar is doing is stunts, not charity !
hunni wrote:# Is SBUT (Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust) not charity ? Which has promised to give a better lifestyle to around 3500 bohra families with a business opportunity for 1250 businessmen.
SBUT is a mega con played by kothar, it is a fantastic master plan to channel all the black monies earned from all the sources and turn into white at same time earn accolades. It’s a total win/win situation for Kothari Inc and its stakeholders.
There are people who are benefitting who had nothing, whereas there are people who are loosing what they had. Prime real estates purchased by hardworking, simple bohras after decades of saving and dreaming are coerced to give up on their possessions for a cheap deal.
Kothar can provide fasntatic numbers and blue prints on paper, but history is witness, they have goofed up many a times. Kothar will turn bhindi bazaar into such a fantastic tourist spot with Dai’s mausoleums. Moreover SBUT is shaping up from public money not kothar’s. but they will reserve the maximum commercial profit and space. Watch it !

Masjids, Markaz, Dargahs, Musafirkhanas are business fronts of kothar, they need to keep the facilities upto mark for their as well as their Subjects ( Praja). But not to forget such Masjids, Markaz, darghas are also built from people’s contribution and once completed even to keep them functional are paid by commoners.
Madrassas charge equal or more fees then a normal schooling ! Markaz / Town halls / Evans are used for private occasions and incomes earned are pocketed by jamat or kothar. Where is the CHARITY ?

Do you really mean this statement as your opinion or is it sarcasm from your side ?
hunni wrote:# Having a beautiful scheme of Kardan Hasana Trust, where 1000's of mumineen benefit without paying any interest not charity ?
Qaradan Hasana goes to those 1000 mumin, who need to boost their capitals for their thriving business. Where return on investment is assured and high which is further given back to kothar in name of ziyafats, najwas, mafsusiyat and others.

A simple routine body check up does not mean healthcare ! that to services of bohra doctors could be utilized for free or a paid doctor for one event during milaad to score points and raise the euphoria is not charity.
By the way saifee hospital is made from public money and yet there are no discounts / subsidy for any bohra. Is that charity ?
