if that is what you call genuine altruisim you can take that and stick in the dust bin.
Do not compare 1971 to 2000. Societies are not homogenous over time atleast their leadership was not. I am not saying that india did not have any self interst then, but they also had some level of genuineness. Why did people in Kolkata raise money for bangladeshi refugees in 1971? Were they expecting tonnes of money in the future out of it?
