What I find even more obscene than this wedding itself is the willingness of so many supposedly serious people to attend. What did they do, hand out Oscar-style $250k goody bags?

What is with those goody bags? I stopped giving them out before my kids were teenagers.

Such a disgusting display of selfishness. The good this family could do for their country if they just gave half of their wealth away. Nobody needs that much money.

No one needs that much luxury - want maybe but need - no - it is obscene beyond belief. “Poverty is a policy choice.” (Brittany Page, YouTube, etc.)

So glad to have read your article Mehdi reagarding the vulgar and offensive dislpay of wealth at this wedding. This money could have helped millions of poor indians in India. This kind of money can make a difference in healthcare for the poor, education, how about uniting the people so the minorites & women are not targeted.

Thank you for writing this article, I was disgusted by the whole thing I tried not to read any articles about it. They have brainwashed so many of their people in the name of religion and whatever else that they are the lower caste so they cannot rise to a higher station in life and that the rich cannot share their wealth. So disgusting!!!

Absolutely grotesque. They take flaunting their wealth to several obscene levels.

I read this and almost fainted. No one should have that much money. And who has 1,200 close friends? Beyond immoral.

I wondered if Bill and Hillary and Jared and Ivanka were sitting and sipping and laughing at the same table, then I threw up in my mouth a little imagining what their dinner convo would be like. To continue this masochistic streak, I wonder what other confluence of prominent Americans were in attendance.

I’d love to know how the local population feels about all this. Are they repulsed by it or taking it all in like a very long drawn out Bollywood film?

Absolutely disgusting. As are many of there guests including the Clinton’s and Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. What more does one need to know?

The zeitgeist of our time. A vulgar show of wealth. One can be wealthy and have some degree of finesse. Not these guys. To have a palatial castle amid the biggest slum in India says it all. Look at my wealth and damn you all. To throw your money to a right-wing fascist regime is just being an enabler of their thuggish policies. There is nothing humane about that.

They can’t take it with them, and like King Midas, it will eat at their souls. It’s obvious looking from the outside.

What emptiness in a person's soul keeps demanding more? Read Tolstoy's How Much Land Does a Man Need? https://www.owleyes.org/text/how-much-land-does-man-need
