Creating a Legacy of Hope: Dr. Abraham George on Educating India’s Underrepresented | EP 550

If you have the means to reach out, touch someone, you are not going to get poorer by just spending some money to help a few. Do it by all means and see the happiness that comes from it. At least I find it. I hope others find it.

And if you assume that half the world is poor and the other half is reasonably well off and everybody contributes one or two dollars a day, there'll be no poor people in this planet. There are enough number of people, 78 billion people, 4 billion people out of that half of them, give a couple of dollars a day, we will solve poverty. But we are not doing it.

So I would say when you can help others, do it and find the happiness from it. It's not just a religious issue. It's a moral issue. It's something that compassion in action. Compassion in action is just feeling sorry for somebody who doesn't do the job. You have to act on it. And a small act, like what I just described, can make a difference.

They are all interrelated. They're free press, like yours, that addresses issues and challenges government policies if they are wrong and bring out the corruption. If you do that, you will have better governance. And I feel that one of the reasons for poverty is bad governance. If you're talking about Baldi Medical, poor people don't go to a doctor unless they are really sick.

But if you go to them, to their huts, and look at them and say, you've got this problem, let me do a blood test on you and take care of them, or they can walk up to your clinic, it will make a big difference to their health. That's another moral duty you have to make sure that people don't suffer. Suffering. Poverty has different dimensions. It's not hunger. It's suffering.

And even indignity of being in a lower caste, that is also part of poverty. So I find all these activities that I embarked on, they're closely interrelated, though you may not see it as such. I mean, the only one somebody may argue that I did doesn't fit in with poverty is lead poisoning. That's an urban problem more than anything else.

But I would argue even there, who suffers most is the poor people in slums who have no way of protecting themselves, who are right next to a factory that is fabricating lead. They are the ones who are suffering. So it's also a poverty issue. So everything I've done, as some connection may not be directly visible, But some of them are directly connected.
