A Street Beggar

Essay No. 01

We often come across poor beggars. They are a common sight. If we go to the bazaar to make purchases, we inevitably find some beggars there. They appear saluting us. A beggar requests for a few coins from us. We have to help him. The poor fellow’s plight is deplorable. He sits in the street demanding something.

Usually such people are blind, lame or lepers or persons suffering from different diseases. Some of them are even cripples and have some bodily defect.

The beggars usually are found in filthy rags. They have a begging bowl or a stick in their hand. They, sometimes, go from door to door and beg. Sometimes they get alms, but at other doors none cares for them.

The outward look of the beggars is very sickening. They do not have good look, as otherwise, the people may not take pity on them and pay them a few coins. Some people scold them and others do not treat them well. But he bears all this maltreatment. He goes about his trade as usual and never cares for anyone.

Some of the beggars are cheaters. They may be considered to be wolves in sheep’s clothing. They commit thefts and do not have good morals. They do not use the collected money in useful pursuits. But we cannot distinguish such people from the good natured fellows who are really very poor. Because of these cheats sometimes the deserving beggars are deprived of the help which they would have otherwise got.

Beggary is not a good custom. The government has already passed laws to end this malpractice. But none cares for the laws. Such poor people have got to be properly settled in life. The government is helping them properly. It is taking care of them in poor homes. The poor homes give them proper training in various trades. They are asked to work and live.

The government is going out of way to end this menace, but these people seldom co-operate. Therefore, those who do not obey are arrested and trained.

Street Beggars

Street-beggars are common sight in big cities. Clad in rags, shivering in cold, they could be seen everywhere begging in the name of God. One obvious reason for this evil is illiteracy, poverty and unemployment. There are quite a few who take to begging because of it. But another reason is that begging has become quite a paying profession.

Many evil practices have come into existence because of it. Kids are kidnapped and sold to be trained and used for begging.

They suffer and their oppressors enjoy. Broadly speaking, beggars are of two types -able – bodied and disabled. The able-bodied can work and earn their livelihood, but in the earliest stages they did not get work and now they do not want to work. They find begging easier and more profitable.

The disabled, some due to natural causes and others due to their mentors, have no option. Beggars are great nuisance and are a blot on humanity. They even indulge in many criminal activities. These must be apprehended and taught some craft-land made to work. The kidnappers, the sellers and the owners who make the kids beg, should be given exemplary punishments. It is our moral duty to help the weak, hungry and the suffering people. But by dispensing alms as charity, we do not help them. We should help to educate and rehabilitate them.
