The guiding principle of
Tata Trusts
There is one kind of charity common enough among us, it is that patchwork philanthropy,
which clothes the ragged, feeds the poor, and heals the sick. I am far from decrying
the noble spirit, which seeks to help a poor or a suffering fellow being.
However, what advances a nation or a community is not so much to prop up its weakest
and most helpless members, but to lift up the best and the most gifted, so as to make
them of the greatest service to the country.
