HIDDEN CHARITY
9 March, 1997

Sir
Farzana Versey in her letter (9/3) has achieved where Madhuri Pai inadvertently failed (Concern, 2-8 Feb.). She was able to give belated credit to her maternal uncle’s estate for the grand donation of ten lakhs. I am sure she must have been instrumental in arranging for the donation to Spastics Society for the salvation of her departed uncle’s soul and not for any publicity; for as a professed Muslim she would certainly know that the Prophet always preferred charity when the left hand did not know how or whom the right hand helped.
