पार्क में जब कोई अमीर कुत्ता आता है तो गरीब कुत्ते लालायित होकर उसकी तरफ दौड़ते हैं कि खेलने-खाने की कोई नयी चीज लाया होगा. अमीर कुत्ता भाव नहीं देता. उपेक्षित और अपमानित हो गरीब कुत्ते वापस अपने दल में लौट जाते हैं, धूल में लोटने और एक दूसरे से मल्ल युद्ध करने के लिए.
आज अभिजात्य वर्ग के एक कुत्ते का मन गरीब कुत्तों के साथ खेलने का हुआ. वो जैसे ही गरीब कुत्तों की ओर दौड़ा, अभिजात्य मालिक की त्योरियां चढ़ गयीं. पहले तो अंग्रेजी में कुत्ते को समझाने की कोशिश की. जब नहीं माना तो देशी हिंदी में गरियाते हुए एक बेल्ट भी मार दी.
एक मध्यमवर्गीय महिला भी अपने मध्यमवर्गीय कुत्ते के साथ पार्क में आती हैं. नाम है मैगी - कुत्ते का. न महिला अंग्रेजी बोल पाती हैं न मैगी समझ पाता है, हालांकि कोशिश दोनों करते हैं. इस चक्कर में मैगी न अभिजात्य वर्ग के कुत्तों में खप पा रहा है और न निर्धन वर्ग के. #DailyWalk
गरीब कुत्ते पहले अमीर कुत्तों को देखते ही अतिक्रमण के भय से आक्रान्त हो पूंछ टांगों के बीच दबा भौंकने लगते थे. पर अब समझ गए हैं की ये शौचादि के पश्चात लौट जाएंगे, इसलिए एक बार अर्ध-निलीमित आंखों से देखने के अतिरिक्त कोई प्रतिक्रिया नहीं देते. #DailyWalk

1. This @OpIndia_com blog was brought to my notice which is based on a report from a so called news channel @newsindia24x7_. I am going to reply with a challenge to them. If I am proven wrong, I will give up the work I do, and I am not, everyone from these two news agencies ....
2. should take sabbatical and go back to learn basics of journalism. What these two have reported, best qualifies as ignorance, stupidity and yellow journalism. The Operation Angutha, has been done by अंगूठाछाप people, and they need to be exposed.
3. There is a video of @newsindia24x7_ in the @OpIndia_com report. This video is constantly showing a passbook. That passbook has been issued by @humanaidint to every refugee family in Majnu ka Tila and Signature Bridge refugee camps. Did they find out, why?

Couple of days ago I received a call. The person identified himself as SI from Delhi police. He said, there was a complaint against us that we raise funds in the name of refugees but do nothing.

I will get back to this story, but before that let me tell you something else.
Before I turned off my TV last night, I saw two advertisements. One was from a multilateral agency and another from INGO registered in India. Both raise billions of dollars around the world.

Their ad showed vulnerable faces of women and children during the money and they .....
projected them as their only saviour, doing even more than the government, hence the money to be donated to them.

Before I sleep, I play one game of Sudoku. When I opened, I saw another ad from a rich agency showing crying faces and hence the donations to be given to them.

1. Last week I was invited to address a NGO platform in a European country to speak and challenge them on #localisation agenda.

#localisation is a term referred to strengthen local NGOs who are often first responders to disasters.
2. The term became a buzzword after the World Humanitarian Summit in 2016, when it was realised that less than 0.3% funding was reaching to local/national actors. Hence a commitment was made to pass on at least 25% to them by 2020. #localisation
3. Anyways, while addressing them I asked, I am seeing 15 organisations part of this NGO platform. What if I was addressing platform of any other European country, or North America, or Japan. Would I see different NGOs there or same?

1. Vestige of #colonialism continue to exist. The aid industry is also part of that. The #BlackLivesMatter campaign has triggered debate on #colonialism and #racism prevailing in the aid sector. Would it help addressing the problem? Would be premature to reach to a conclusion.
2. I have been working in the sector for over three decades and faced discrimination numerous times because of my nationality, complexion and also religion. Will share some experiences today. Before that, let's see how colonialism gets defined. #DecoloniseAid
3. Colonialism is a practice of domination and subjugation of one people/institution to another. It broadly has four characteristics:

-political & legal domination
-economic & political dependence
-exploitation
-racial & cultural inequality

We find all of them in aid sector

Dear @SwarajyaMag team,

Here are my views on the #FCRA bill, and I hope my views, based on my over three decades of Indian and global experience, would reach Mr @narendramodi and Mr @AmitShah as well.
There are two features of the revised act which are praiseworthy, i.e, linking of Aadhar and disqualifying public servants from receiving foreign fund. However, your assumption that the revision may lead to #AatmNirbharBharat may unfortunately not be true.
Rules are framed to control the malpractices of NGOs but the big and cunning ones always have resources to find a way out and consequences are felt by honest NGOs. For example, when a Tamil Nadu based NGO lost its FCRA, it already had another FCRA registered NGO to divert funding

In India, racism has taken a new form. Until a decade ago, white people were recruited as country head in all INGOs. Since that is no more possible, people of colour are recruited, who carry the same mindset. Policies still come from the West to get implemented here.
Addressing this new form of racism is very challenging. International NGOs have taken over Indian NGOs' space without most of the Indians knowing about it.

Most of us feel, an international NGO definitely means more honest and credible NGO, so let's support them.
I don't get even any attention when I talk on such issue. And that is the biggest impediment while challenging the racism and neo-colonialism in the aid sector which is in worse form in India than many other countries.
