Hi friends
i don't support begging, however question is,
are they begging because of blindness or even as sighted, they would
be begging?
of course it gives bad name about all of us in genral, but that is a problem
not of there making.

hello,
this is indeed ideal cause. but even my experience is very negative on
this work. i know couple of of my own schoolmates who are begging in
the local trains of mumbai. they are well educated even graduates. as
i always in the search of my old friends and would like to find out
about their life, i recently got in touch with few of them, who have
passed their graduation, and due to lack of job opportunities around
ten years back, they got in to this begging forcefully. while in
conversation with them, i tried to offer few job opportunities to them
in which they could earn 6 to 7 k initially which would grow over six
months period to 15 to 20 k per month. but to my surprise, they simply
rejected my offers and informed me that they can now easily earn rs500
per day in begging so why should they take any job which would
decrease their present income? i tried to explain them about their
tallents which will be fairly utilised and chances about promotions.
but they are not willing to compromise with their present job. they
now have the habbit of living lavish life having too many edictions
like chewing tobaccos, ghutkas etc. which has become the part of their
daily food. they say that they are happy doing this and would like to
know technics to earn more out of begging. in their language, if i got
the job, not necessary that we will get it and do not want to waste
the time.
once i tried to invite one of them to my place outside mumbai with the
intention of changing his mind towards work during my stay, but i was
not successful. rather i was surprised to know his demands to pay back
to him his ticket charges, reimbursement of his daily food like
mentioned above in the travel etc. along with his expected income of
begging i.e. rs.500 per day for which he stayed with me.
so hope that something good happends to their life in terms of
rewarding their tallents by getting good jobs.
thanks,
