Paris Hilton visits Mumbai to promote a range of handbags to the affluent, but has her motorcade pull over so that she can perform an act of kindness. According to NDTV.com, Ms Hilton gave a beggar named Ishika a $100 note. A photographer was on hand (quite by chance one presumes) to record the undoubtedly generous act. Ishika returned to her family to face demands from relatives for a share of her windfall. Those demands were backed by violence. "Full of rage" at the turn of events and ignorant of the value of the note, Ishika's brother-in-law tore it to pieces. There is clearly a moral to be drawn from this story. The moral would be something to do with poverty, or indiscriminate aid, or greed, or globalisation or handbags, or ... er... I give up. Any suggestions?
