Dear friends,
I am in the process of dafting on questionnaire on trusteeship by Gandhi, kindly helpme out
Namaste ~ The first draft of the Trust instrument is finished. I will attempt to add it to the end of this post. I am no computer whiz by any means, so it might not work. Here goes. . .
Thank you, Dipak, for your thoughts. The economic entity I am drafting is specific to my own family and situation. I can better explain the general concept as a student's diary narrative set in the future. The student I will call Pranav. We will say…
This is a bold and remarkable progress. We in India do not have such facility. I wish small families too get such benefit. Such trust funds would remain with the family, I suppose. On the contrary, the government is going to introduce new Direct Tax…
This post is a call to any member of this group who has given up on capitalism and socialism as a viable means of helping the poor. I think it is time to revisit Gandhi's concept of trusteeship and see if it can be applied without legislatiion and w…
Dear Christopher,I have separately written to you about co-operative movement. This isan example of 'enlightened self-interest'. sommething should be done to inculcate the feeling that I cannot care for my interests without caring for your interest.…
Thank you, Dipak, for your kind feedback to my post. Yes, India is in the "grip of feverish capitalism". Still, India has a long Vedic tradition of advocating for selflessness. No one should despair because India moved away from Nehru socialism to p…
Dear Christopher, Your views are interesting, I will certainly visit sites you have suggested and revert to you through this site. Gandhi believed in self-reliance. While in its ideal form it may not be possible to implement but the essentially, it…
Trusteeship will spread quickly when there is an organizational structure to support it. If we wait for the wealthy few to voluntarily convert from capitalism to trusteeship - I fear we may wait forever. If we wait for governments that are largely c…

- Namaste Aseem ~ You would be an ideal critic, and advisor, to help me in my attempt to create a universal model that can be used by family units to conserve assets and property through generations, and use those assets to assure higher education for future generations. Your background should make you the perfect "sounding board" as I attempt to weave together concepts of sustainability, trusteeship, equality, governance, etc., into a model that will be legal in India. In America, this can be accomplished by creating a "charitable trust". California is on the "cutting edge" of modern capitalism. According to the Attorney General of California, in 2004 there were over 90,000 charitable organizations registered in California. Why? Because California families are creating charitable trusts to protect their family wealth. Someday, every family will be able to have their own charitable organization created to conserve family wealth through generations. This will happen quietly, without a revolution. It is the natural evolution of capitalism. The Mahatma was the only one who foresaw Trusteeship. But the Trusteeship evolving in California, and elsewhere, is not a centralized trusteeship where the wealthy few provide for the masses - but a decentralized trusteeship where every family unit becomes more economically self-reliant though the generations. The draft Trust Instument/bylaws that I am using is posted as an attachment (Cloversweet Trust), on your discussion (re: Philosohies of Gandhi and Trusteeship). I don't know how to do it under Indian law, but I am sure the basic concepts can also be used in your country. All blessings to you and those you love. ~ Chris Wroth
