Well sed friend, thanks to our dhan culture and dharmic beliefs even in mumbai our fellows reffer begging to hocking, what about educated once? To be a successful begger you are not suppose to have bath for many days your clothes must smell fowl, if you can not arouse pity you may fail. How can you? -----Original message----- From: muruganandan.k Sent: 19/11/2013, 5:50 pm To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. Subject: Re: [AI] Blind Beggars in Banglore
hello friends, if I may add something to this discussion... What we are experiencing in Indian societies is much paradoxical and quite strange.... A blind person who is begging is able to earn within a day more than what a hard-working blind person can get in a week. The society, which sympathizes with a begging person's blindness doesn't respect the honour and spirit of a blind selling small things or doing some meager labours. I would say the reason for blind persons resoughting to begging and sticking on to it is more with the societiey's attitude. This issue needs a larger analitical debate and more fruitful long-term works.... thank you.
