hey friends,I was just thinking about my earnings today when i felt i didn't put enough efforts to make money. It made me thin about the beggars who lay down the streets and earn money..They do not work!! Now, my question is do you have beggars in your country?Do you like to help these beggars? what is your opinion about them? and why do we find them in spite of a good economical condition of our country??

Yes Begging in Streets have become a Profession now a days!!U can c ppl loitering here nd there in Temples before nd all,but now a days the ratio of ppl begging in local trains have increased!!Sometimes I may even feel tat they r healthy enough to work,though ppl around me help them which s really annoying!!And I do help for ppl who r really in need of!!

we have a lot of beggers in our country. there is no rule to eradicate or civilize them in india. they are seen everywhere mainly in the temples. some 5 years back, beggers would come to our street and ask for money and food once a week, but now there is nothing like that. they stick to their places and there are a lot of people in india who donate to beggers think that they will go heaven

we do have here in my country and they were so many. you can see them in the streets, in the food establishments, knocking at your door. They almost double when Christmas came. Some were syndicate driven, some were just really poor and just some lazy to look for a job

Not all of them are really deserving..There are few people who beg, because they are lazy to work..
