Hi,
I think this is the issue faced by general public here. Beggars in India must be increasing day by day. a foreigner shared the below:
"A stream of people shuffle by asking for money, moving their hands back and forth to their mouth in a universal gesture:I’m hungry. Food please. An old man with stumps for arms holds a tiny metal bowl in front of us, imploring us to drop a rupee coin inside. A woman without legs, a blind man, a young girl with a wild-haired baby on her hip. A child in filthy clothing will be knocking at our shoulder. Hello, hello, hello, she repeats, the words come mechanically from her lips like the bird call of a cuckoo clock. She moves her hand to her mouth, opens her palm."
Yeah its a increasing business in India. You know how far they have gone?? They were engaging lawyers to get out from rehabilitation centers when police forced to do so.. Here, beggars engage lawyers - Times Of India
I used to go to Egmore railway station to get into the train everyday to go to work. (We can say that railway stations in India are the hostel for beggars.) One old man was asking me showing his hand on his stomach, i have called him to come outside as Corporation of chennai have started Food shop in Railway station itself which is available at very cheaper rate like one iddli @ 1/- for the breakfast. Recently they have added pongal too which must be less than Rs. 5/-. noons lunch @ 3/- and 5/-. This has more far better taste than hotels out there.
I have asked him come to that shop i will offer him 5 iddlis for Rs. 5/- which will be enough for his breakfast. But he said, he dont want it. He wants the coffee in that railway station which costs 8/- or wants that money, he will go and buy it..! If these beggars were really begging for their food. They need not to ask more than 5 people. their belly will be filled with this low rate food started prestigiously by Tamilnadu Government.
The same happens everywhere in India. They can easily go and work and earn, there were lots of labours required for work in construction work, restaurants, House keeping, etc..,
What do you think abt it? Its really spoiling the image of India??
