Top Remitting Countries Rs crs

Largest donor countries are USA Rs 2928 crs, Germany Rs 1,269 crs, UK Rs 971 crs, Italy Rs 515 crs, Netherlands Rs 414 crs and Spain Rs 401 crs.

The top three donor countries are USA, Germany, and UK for many years now. The U.S. is consistently the top donor. I hope that similar if not more concern is shown towards the underprivileged and unemployed white and black U.S. citizens. Readers must be aware that most Germans pay some sort of a tax to the Church. Is there a correlation between tax paid and inflows into India is an issue worth pondering over.

Even if one accounts for the Rs 239 crs remitted by the Brahmanand Saraswati Trust in 2007-08 the annual remittances average at Rs 1173 crs from UK is much higher than Rs 764 crs remitted in 2004-05.

Key Donor Countries (Rs crs r/o/)

List of Country wise donors in 2007-08 and 2006-07 is above. Note that except for UAE and Japan countries above belong to the West read as the Secular world.

Media reports indicate that some countries in the Middle East notably Saudi Arabia made large remittances to India (read Saudi export of Wahhabism to India http://www.southasiaanalysis.org:80/papers38/paper3725.html). Barring UAE the contributions are not reflected above.

So either contributions are not coming or are coming through the hawala route.
