Indian Community Benevolent Forum Elections - 2016 - 22nd November

When the demonetization started in November 2016, some people as always picked their respective sides for the issue and began developing their own fortress from which they would dessimate the argument of the other camp. But true Indians who still believe in the preamble to our constitution had a different approach.

For eg: Harini Calamur from Mumbai drew up a list of suggestions and shared it with her Facebook friends. 

Here are her thoughts:

"#Demonetisation – what you can do to help:

a) Make sure you help people in your universe – drivers, maids, cooks, building security, to get liquidity

b) Order on your cashless system for them – grains, essentials.

c) Help them with paying utilities – with your debit/credit cards (it can be adjusted from their salary).

d) Help seniors in your area to get their cash exchanged – go with them if needed.

e) If you can do without going to the bank for the next few days, don’t add to the crowd there.

Will all of these help all the people in India – No. But, will it help 4-5 people in your universe – Yes. Can you do this?

I know that it is an inconvenience. All of us are facing it too. But, it is also a given – so the question is what can you do to help?

And, while intelligent people debate on whether it impacts black money or taxation in the long run; can you help your world in the very short run?"

And these are the ways we as Indians true to our heritage should behave when facing a problem in foreign land. There might be several problems, but if the approach to resolve them is progressive and inclusive nothing is far from resolution.

ICBF 2016 Elections / MC Panel

80 officers and 100 police officials from Bhopal recently carried out astrange activity. Their actual duty is to catch criminals and bad guyz, but for the Bhopal zila and for the sake of organ transplantation theseofficers formed a green corridor, which helped the transplantation of a liver through a 13 km traffic road. Normally the route which takes coupleof hours to cover was done in 13 minutes straight!! They saved a life in an spectacular fashion.

But wait, this is not their job? this is not a criminal investigation!, and yet they evolved their perspective in protecting human lives...

A direction for Indian Community Benevolent Forum to consider. We canchange the word from Forum to fund or fund to Forum!, It does not hide the fact that we are here to genuinely help our Indian brothers and sisters in what ever way we can as ICBF.

I sincerely propose that we re-evaluate our thought process, think out side the box, not just for investment and stock market portfolios, but also for social service.
