The caste dynamics of Asian charity .:. NewKerala - India's Top Online Newspaper: "The caste dynamics of Asian charity

By Prasun Sonwalkar, London: When people from the Indian subcontinent migrate, they carry their caste, language and regional affiliations. Thus there are a large number of groups based on these lines, each seeking to maintain its identity in a foreign country.

Many of them are active in charity and donate funds for activities in Britain and the Indian subcontinent. Such groups spring into action during major events such as the earthquakes in Gujarat and Pakistani Kashmir."
