In India though we pay all kind of taxes including the one on our income, we still have to pay charity or give donations to support common festivals celebration activities such as Ganapati, Navaratri or local anna chatra run by trusts like temples. If we don't pay donation then we are outcasted or not given respect by others in our community/society. My argument is if we pay taxes then why should we pay extra on donations or charity to those mandal's or trusts for running those activities. Instead they should approach the govt. and apply for funding to support such activities. I am not saying that no one should not give donation or charity but it should be with our will and not by force. There must be some kind of regulation and every citizen must be aware of it.
