I feel very sad for the beggars.It is really a shame for the country.Government took no care for the beggar.If corruption stops then these problem will slightly decrease.Government is not taking any step to bring back the Black Money.

No sometimes people find begging to be the easiest job to earn money so they take it as profession many a times I have seen on TV and read in News paper that there is Mafia who run this beggars racket. :evil:

If some one gets shameless and unhesitatingly begs, he will do no other job. This is easiest. Just yesterday I read a Tit Bit about a beggar at Road ways. A passenger told him that he would give him rs. five if could just shift his luggage at roof of bus. To this beggar responded that he could do so provided that the passenger held the begging bowl in his hands meanwhile and collect the alms. He even offered 30% of the revenue in the bowl.

When a beggar comes to me, either I give him money or just avoid him. I leave the place. They are so dirty and diseased people.

I never give money as I feel that by giving them money I would be encouraging them to take an easy way out. However, if I feel that it is a genuine case, I offer food and other articles. But I do give money to those people who sometimes come to the train compartment and clean the floor and then ask for money.

You know Ronark, There is a very famous article 'Beggars are my mentors'because they teach us the famous line- Jo de uska bhi hala jo na de uska... You see I like this line and most of the time I do not give unless I see some one really deserving.

"Paathramarinjuvenam bhiksha kodukkaan"........"Give alms knowing his 'Katori'" . I can't get a English name of Katori. :evil: :evil:
Is it bowl?

You can give anything to anyone.....but should know if he truly deserves it

My heart sometimes melts when any child comes in front of me. I am very emotional kind of person.

But we should not let our emotions decide our course of actions. we need to think properly whether it is a genuine case or not. You might not be aware of the fact but giving money to beggars has encouraged crimes also. For instance, some people kidnap children and force them to beg. sometimes, after making them physically handicap. So, by giving money we might actually be encouraging such crimes.Moreover, as sunilji has said, some of them are expert in invoking sympathy in others with fake words.
