“Beggars In India”

Watching beggars on the streets must be making you feel that they’ve no other option than begging. But if you come to know that in-between these poor beggars, there are some who are educated ones, then what will be your reaction?

Let me tell you, according to a report, there are many beggars who are educated with degrees i.e. they are graduates, post graduates and even the Diploma holders. In these days, it won’t be surprising if you come across beggars who talk in English while begging. Yes!!

In many parts of the country, when the survey is done, many shocking results come out of it. Almost 200 beggars in India were found who were not only educated but they had the degree too. Despite the good qualification, they choose to beg.

In the year 2011, there was a census report in which the beggars with their educational qualification were clearly mentioned. This might surprise you but – according to the report, there were total 3.72 Lakh beggars in India

Many institution claims that there are more than 3.72 Lakh beggars in our country. Based on the official figures, out of 3.72 Lakh beggars, at-least 21 % are beggars who are 12^th pass. And there are 3000 beggars who have professional degree in diploma courses. Well, even the graduates and post graduates are not less.

No doubt, to make India beggar free, many state and central government tried their best. Even the government tried to bring the beggars out of it but they refused to accept it. According to the beggars, the money begging can provide is incomparable to the money every person gets from 9 hour duty. More disgusting thing is that, even the educated ones are not ready to leave begging.

Hence, this creates a different image in the minds of people.

Some beggars revealed that they chose beggary not because they enjoy it, but it is all because they had no other option. They believe that even the degree and qualification standard is not helping ‘em to create a career. So in short, beggary was the only source of income.

Many experts strictly don’t believe in this logic and they say- how can it be possible that begging brings more peace as compared to other professional work?

Many educationalists believe that the absence of synergy between the employments is the main reason for this situation today. Whereas some say that in our country, begging is often mistaken.

It has always been seen that at first, beggars used to beg because they really had no other option, but as soon as the time passed, they took it as a business.

That’s why, if the government really wants to make India- beggar free, then they must take strict actions and work on a good plan. Or else, the dream of making India “beggar free” will always remain a dream.

“Begging Is A Curse”

In our country, the history of begging is quite old.

Since the ancient time, begging has been an absolute tradition.

But currently in India, the appearance of begging is simply incomparable to the past.

Today when we see the beggars asking for money, it indirectly creates a different scenario in our mind, agree? Like- when we see the beggars on streets, the feeling of compassion delivers to be less as compared to the hatred.

But in the past, all of these feelings were quite different. As in, people used to really respect and feel the pain of such beggars. Let me tell you, earlier, the whole subject of “begging” was seen with an immense respect.

In the past, begging was actually done in two types.

The Monks used to stay in forest and practice austerity. And on the other side, celibate used to beg and look out for ways to get education.

There was a genuine purpose for people who used to beg in their childhood days. They were quite aware that they are seeking education because of social assistance. Based on this principle, the main motto was that begging would help the poor ones to get educated, just like the rich ones who were getting education in their own terms.

Through this arrangement, the duty of society was important as their participation would help in the children’s education. Along with this, the children were also being taught that once they get an education, they should try to develop the society in a good way.

This was the only reason why in scriptures, giving money to the students and monks was set as an essential duty. And along with that, the students and monks were also bound to the rule that they will only ask for the needed money. If anyone who wouldn’t obey this was considered as a sinner.

Earlier, when the students and monks who were considered as blessings, today they turned out to be nothing but curse. No doubt but today, the whole country is trying it’s best to get rid of it.

Government and society wants only one thing and that is- to get rid of this never-ending curse. Earlier the students who were taught to behave rightfully are now getting involved into doing things like Cannabis and Gambling.

Nowadays, especially for children’s out there, begging has become a business. Earlier, when the beggars used to be polite into asking money, are today behaving in an opposite manner. These days, the beggars haven’t just lost their self-respect but they don’t even care of doing something worth.

For such people’s mental, moral and spiritual rejuvenation, Youngisthan has started a campaign. Because of this medium, we are not just trying to make India beggar-free but we also want people to stop practising begging for bad reasons.

This is how we can actually try our best to make India beggar-free in true terms and remove the black stigma that says- begging is a curse.

What are your thoughts on this point of begging is a curse scenario? Comment below.
