A Street Beggar

Beggars are a great nuisance in India. There are many kinds of beggars. There are some able-bodied beggars. They take to begging because they do not apply their energy to a gainful profession.

There are others who really deserve. They consist of disabled, diseased and old people. There are others who simply pose to be disabled. Sometimes, they are the agents of a cheat who gets this work out of them.

The beggars live in colonies outside a town. These colonies are very dirty localities. All sorts of vices are practiced there. While the woman goes out begging, her husband gambles and drinks.

Certain States have made laws against begging. The Government should chalk out a definite plan to solve this problem and take legal against this nuisance.
