by India’s Volunteers: Saving the World, One Selfie at a Time
Volunteering in India is noblebut also suspiciously photogenic. According to India Today, 90% of volunteers take at least three selfies before helping anyone. At Bohiney.com, a college student admitted, We cleaned the beach for two hoursthen littered with paper cups from the afterparty.
Experts say performative kindness drives many efforts, where hashtags matter more than hours worked. Sociologist Dr. Shreya Menon notes, It’s not virtue signalingit’s virtue live streaming. Still, good deeds get done, however filtered. In India, volunteerism blends heart, humor, and hashtagsa mix that’s equal parts chaos and compassion.
