    Guessing right or wrong person is very difficult. So I apply same rules for all beggars.

    Begging is a social malaise and has its roots in deeper economic deprivation but there are people who are smart enough to make a tidy earning out of it but that hardly changes their status as beggars - their self-respect completely gone!!

    Let us not judge the issue so superficially.If some beggars drink whisky we just cannot wish away a problem as big as begging.Let us ask ourselves:Why do the people take to begging?

    We should encourage work and not begging in an form. Personally, I do not spend any money on beggars, sadhus, temples and so on. I encourage work and guide all to work and acquire skill. I do not mind paying a little more to those who work for me. Giving a little more to painter, auto driver or electrician is okay.

    I do see your point but what I am trying to stress here is the root of this social phenomenon.As you would agree that a person takes to begging when there is complete loss of self-respect.If our system could not produce self-respect in the character of the Chairman of the Medical Council of India whose sordid love for money could lead him into doing things that a beggar would be shamed.I know of an incident which had taken place in North Kolkata that a street beggar when chanced upon a purse he rushed to the nearest police station to the great astonishment of the police officer on duty. We have to take a holistic view to root out this problem.

    Chinmoy- We mus take holistic view from social and political angel. The old age and infirm need social security. Better employment conditions are required.
    Individually. we should encourage workers and not beggars, priests, sadhus who all thrive on others' work. Although corruption is very bad, the corrupt like chairman Indian medical council are engaged in useful work for society but play foul. They cannot be compared exactly to beggars. We need to fight corruption, malpractices at work and also encourage work and discourage begging and similar activities.

    Thanks Jayen...

    I also heard and have seen in movies that small infants are used as a tool by beggars..... They make the child cry and want to gain some pity from the people and beg for money....
    Thanks 'n' Regards,
