Letter Published in The National UAE on 20 Aug 18 UAE’s philanthropic attitude offers welcome relief In response to your online story Kerala flooding death toll crosses 350 (August 19), Samanth Subramanian’s article on the ongoing crisis in the Indian state of Kerala was saddening to read. Kerala has witnessed the heaviest rains and more damage this century than it has in decades.The initiative of UAE President Sheikh Khalifa in ordering the formation of a committee to assist the relief work in Kerala was heartening. The UAE has more overseas workers from India than anywhere else and many of them are from Kerala. It is natural for the UAE’s leaders to offer a helping hand. The UAE is known for its philanthropic attitude towards countries around the world, irrespective of religion. This is an uplifting and appreciated gesture.K Ragavan, Bengaluru
