https://www.khalsaaid.org/ this is a good organization.

Avoid donating to PM CARES FUND. It is a private entity, not a government fund, that has collected almost 2B$ and as far as I can tell had spent only 30M$ to set up a couple of oxygen plants, most of which are not functional.

Another charity I would avoid is Sewa international, which is the charity arm of right wing, nationalist and militant organization RSS. Indias current party in power BJP is an offshoot of RSS.

Avoid Khalsa Aid, they are being investigated for links with terror organisations

Sewa has no link with RSS or BJP, thats just nonsense. They are worldwide and non-political unlike Ravi Singhs Khalsa Aid which is openly political.

NIA is set up to investigate political opponents by the BJP. NIA's investigation is simple retaliation for humanitarian support provided by Khalsa aid to farmers protesting all over India.

THIS. I won't speculate where the money goes. But this fund is held in a secret account, no authority is allowed to audit and no one is allowed to inquire where the money is being spent.
