Helping Beggar

Sometimes I feel they are to be discouraged.But when sees someone really feels what is an alternate way to them?

Instead of helping beggars,helping needy people would be a better option.I have seen several old women and men forced to begging who may be over 80 years old, still these people move in street whole day and night for their livelihood.

helping to others is good but giving money is not only solution for beggars. I think we need to help beggars also but in your way not beggars way.

It is difficult to judge who is the needy begger as these days the is a news of one begger dying rich with Rs 200000/- in his pocket. Its better to offer them some food so as to pacify their hunger.
One can help a needy person on the basis of his judgement that he is really needy since if God is giving you, you can help others with that money, at least to some extent.

Mukesh,its true that beggar are now a days becoming very rich. Its good to give them some food rather than money.

Recently I received a mail showing the assets of some beggars in and around Mumbai.They are crorepathis!!!!

Yes, I agree with Abid with this fact and I also saw a newspaper sometime back which revealed that a beggar who died in the suburbs of Kolkata had huge amount of money!!!

But when they die if it is there as bank balance to whom it will be useful?

I think not only beggars there are lot of persons who left money after death and have no any relative.

But when they die if it is there as bank balance to whom it will be useful?

Legally, after seven years the amount will be deposited in Govt. of India's account and will be national property, if no one claim within the seven years of that person death.

Unclaimed amount goes to government. Pradeep writely said. But should we help beggars. I feel that all should be encouraged to work and not live on begging. Even on living on rental income, interest etc is not so desirable.

Government should make some plans for beggar,so that number of beggar are reduced. Government should give them some type of source,so that that they can too earn for their living.

Ronark, do you really believe that beggars would love to work if they are given work?

I personally doesn't encourage beggars but I would like to help needy people who are begging and really need some sort of help may be financially or any other ways,but not to those beggars who make it a profession.

Beggar is one who has lost self respect and opted this profession. Unless sonmeone begs, you will not know that he is needy. A self respecting person will not beg even if he is needy.

I prefer to help those who are working but for some reason they need help. It is okay to help needy students for their requirement of books and other expenses. It is okay to help some one needing medical care.

Well said Gulshanji, beggars are those who lost their self respect. I also wanted to say needy person in the same context as yours.

Why we are promoting beggars. Animals life is better than beggars. I think begging should removed from India to become more developed country.

I think that we can discourage beggary and do things so that it gets limited but at the same time it seems a difficult aspect to remove beggary from the word go...

Dear Ajay

I think If we able to remove begging in India then we need to think for world. Major problem is in India only.

Santosh ji I never used the word "World" in my comment but rather I used the word Go perhaps its an error of reading from your side friend.....Anyway its fine that you commented on it!!! :) :)
