Laxmi Mittal doesn't have to donate anything if he does not want to. He earned the money and it is up to him to spend in anyway that pleases him. If he does donate the money to charities it should be commended as Captain said but if he decides not to then it should not be a big deal. Besides the government is taxing him to spend the money on social causes. Regarding him spending millions for his daughter's wedding, I'd love to do that for my daughter if I have that kind of money. Money and wealth are relative terms. For a person that is living in a hut in Siraha will think that an average house with running water is like living in a palace. Similarly for the person who has a house will have a different defination when you say palace. How many of us are willing to skip a meal per week so that we can buy some homeless a meal? I have never done it. It is always easier to say how the rich should spend their money but we have no right to that money. Similarly, if someone poorer than us comes and tells us how we need to spend our money and who we need it give it to then we don't have to listen to them either.
