 Do you still give alms to the beggars or bums on the street?
In our country, we were prohibited to give to street beggars because they were claimed to be protected or member of syndicate or something. These beggars come in different styles. Some kids would even climb a public transportation jeep to shine the shoes of the passengers and then ask for money. Christmas is nearing and definitely, i anticipate kids coming again in public transportation jeeps to sing a christmas carol with their makeshift tambourines.

1.  UmiNoor (409) | 4 months ago |  When I went to India a few years back the tourist guide there advised all of us not to give anything to the beggars there. There were many beggars and they were very young children; babies too. They look so pitiful. The tourist guide told us that the women would beg and then will bring home the money to the men and the men will use the money to buy alcohol or drugs and if the women don't bring anything home, they'll be beaten. Such a sad situation.

| UmiNoor (409) | 4 months ago | If you've seen the movie Slumdog Millionaire, there are scenes in the movie depicting the beggar syndicate. They actually purposely blinded the children and then make them sing in public to beg for money. A blind child singer can actually earn more money than a sighted one. | |

| Graceekwenx (531) | 4 months ago | hey my friends loved slumdog millionaire. they recommended that i watch it because i have many indian chatmates! Is that a true story?
Really?! The bad guys purposely blind the kids?! Oh my goodness gracious! Does this really happen in real life? | |

| UmiNoor (409) | 4 months ago | That was what I was told by the Indian tourist guide when I went to India. They even break the children's legs and crippled them so people will pity the children and give more money. This things do happen in some third world countries. I think even worst is that the beautiful girls will be sold into the flesh trade. | |

| Graceekwenx (531) | 4 months ago | This is bad. And i honestly thought, this happens to our country only!
What also happens is that our Department of Social Welfare would really encourage these people to stay in the housings and they would also be taught to do some civil service work or do some livelihood trainings. And yet, i still dont understand why they refuse the offer! These beggars had been in and out of the housings but still they prefer to beg on the streets! | |

| Graceekwenx (531) | 4 months ago | oh yah! those guys must be really lazy! Begging and not working when they are physically fit to do so!
Let me tell you one story... My mom attended church one regular sunday and she was approached by a beggar woman. The woman looks strong enough to work and do some labor. So my mom asked, "why are you begging? You seem strong enough. I can hire you as our maid if you want to do a living." The beggar hissed back and said "No way!" And my mom could swear that she can hear the woman mumbling and grumbling about it.
What is the matter with these people!? | |

| 4. patzel88 (1808) | 4 months ago |  it depends to the beggars, some beggars are not really using the money for good, i have seen some beggars who they have use the money for gambling so sometimes i prefer to give food than to give money most especially to the kids because i only believe that they need food than giving them money.

|

6.  Guruindia (652) | 1 month ago |  There are real poors, migrated from dry areas without jobs and compelled to go for begging, it is slowly reducing now by getting jobs in cities that fetch them good money.

| 7. samson1967 (5018) | 1 month ago |  Generally I observed that the native people are not beggars, the street beggars are mostly from different states, it looks like whoever wants to beg, they migrate to unknown place to start this profession, that is preferred by lazies.
