I have read these kind of rich beggars in Mumbai years ago. I think that is the easiest job without any hard work. We should never encourage these people.
Yes Deepti and Mean this is sad and a very dirty business at large. Hope Government and NGO are reading this article.
Are you still offering money to beggars after reading this?
I never give money to these beggars . I prefer to give them food items..
Thanks for sharing the info. Beggars are also earning a lot like corrupted officials!!!
Thanks for sharing some facts about beggar. offering money is not good at all as they may become lazy even if capacity for earning is there. I think clothes and food items are good things to donate. I often given money for old beggar with the intention that at that age they cannt do any work to earn money. After seeing the movie where children are intention blinded for earning money i stop giving money to handicapped and blind children.
It they are used to get money easily just by begging then it is impossible for them to change later, the result is born of theives..
ha ha that was a great one. thanks for sharing. nice message
Adopting a child is far better than paying money to beggars.
I learn that in Banglore beggars are not allowed to beg on streets instead they are admitted to Ashrams. This should be adopted in all the cities in India.
I think only few beggars are like this and not all.
That is something new to me.

Even i am a mumbaikar i don't know about it.
Long ago I got such a mail with all these guys photoes,daily earning and total asset.Really Amazing .
Yes Karthik in Gujarat one of the beggars has distributed clothes in school out of his savings.
In mumbai people dont have plave to live..

and this beggar have their own flat..account in bank :lol: :lol: :lol:
Yes this are true stories which also came in newspapers sometime back.
when i was studing in mumbai..

i have read one such article about beggar and their property even they have their union so that one beggar can get bitten up by people

and dont forget its huge business as shown in movie Slumdog Millionaire
Ya Vijay that's true this people really are making money by doing nothing.
Wow, this is a nice threat. No one really thinks how rich a beggar maybe. but its true, few beggars are more rich than us.
This is the fact that which is very less known but this is pertaining to only select few not all are so lucky.
