Seva vs donation
In the recent Baisakhi special episode of ‘Wheel of Fortune India’, when a contestant said she would donate her winnings, host and actor Akshay Kumar immediately corrected her. He said, “I am not one to correct you, but I believe the word donation is dirty. God has given you this opportunity to serve. We do not have the status to give anything to anyone, if we get something then we give it forward.” The term, he added, is “seva aka service”.
