Sub: Problem of Begging in India
Sir,
I would like to request you to kindly give a little space to my letter in your esteemed newspaper.
The problem of beggars in India is a matter of great shame and concern. Both adults and children are seen at the bus stop, at red lights, near temples, at the market, etc.
A beggar is a stigma. He is a burden on society. Begging neither involves physical neither labour nor mental exertion. Some beggars earn more than most of low-paid persons. They get used to a life of leisure.
Some people deceive others pretending to be handicapped and beg, in the name of God. God-fearing and charitable people give them alms. They pose to be deaf and dumb in order to arouse the sentiments of the passerby and evoke their sympathy. They do spare even foreign tourists and these foreigners get a bad image about our country to these beggars. They even push their little children into this menace.
It is a sin against humanity to patronize beggars. With our help, we are spoiling and are creating a problem for society by adding to the number of beggars.
The authorities should put a ban on begging so that the pursuers and perpetrators of begging should be dealt with an iron hand.
Yours faithfully
Care spoiling a person
Mohit
