To give without expecting anything in return brings us the biggest satisfaction and instills a sense of involvement in society, writes RATNA VIRA, as she shares how deeply altruism is embedded in India

he heart is a powerful metaphor, evok- ing emotional and psychological well- being, showing caring and compassion. Repeated instances of altruistic behav- iour, of continuing charity, are evidence Tthat people still feel their heart as a representation of their self, of the emotional self, which cannot be reduced to materialistic, biological terms. According to Hinduism, the heart is the connect- ing link between the heaven and the earth. It was the place of Brahman, the supreme cosmic spirit. While details of the brain were unknown in the early Vedic period, thoughts and emotions, and consciousness itself, came from the mind. The ultimate desire was to become one with Brahman and that could come about through connecting your heart to the heart of Brahman through duty, service, sacrifice, devotion, and charity. Charity, generosity and specifically the giving of alms are regarded as virtuous in most Indian philosophies and religions. Daana, a Sanskrit/Pali WhyWhy word denoting charity and giving, came from the heart. Daana traces its roots to Vedic traditions and can take the form of helping individuals in need, or in the wider form of helping many peoplepeople through public works and philanthropy. Traditionally, Daana implied the relinquishment or giving up of something that was one’s own to help someone without expecting anything in return. Related but not as powerful were the con- cepts of Paropkara (benevolent deeds), Dakshina givegive (gift or fee to Guru or someone else), and Bhiksha (alms). Daana was usually given to a person or a small group, but the concept also encompassed wider charitable projects with public benefits. Popular projects included sarais (rest houses), schools and care home, provision of drinking observed that they had the same insecurities as water, and the planting of trees. those with very little. Beyond a point, the wealth The Upanishads (500 BCE) contained some which is meant to give happiness morphs into Getting started as a philanthropist of the earliest discussions of Daana.

An account by a local Kashmiri Muslim based on his experiences, Bashir Assad’s book is a departure from the usual rhetoric parroted to legitimise and bolster the separatists, writes PROF K WARIKOO An insight into the Kashmir rhetoric ashir Assad’s book comes at an appropriate time, as it provides an insider and subaltern view of Kashmir. He has first hand experience of the developments inB Kashmir for the past 30 years. In his own words, he has lived the ideology of Maududi Islam for three years, after he passed class X. He has been associated with PDP founder Mufti Mohammad Syed. And he has been following the events in Kashmir, as a journalist, colum- nist and social activist. He has addressed the issue of rising extremism in Kashmir and the role of mullahs, Jamat-e-Islami, local bureaucracy and politicians in rid- ing the frenzy, for retaining their social and political relevance and for reaping economic benefits.
