In the last few years. The number of beggars has greatly increased in our county.
There are hundreds of beggars in every town. In big cities like Lahore and Karachi,
They are in thousands. Wherever you go, you will find them at your heels. It appears
That every tenth man you see in a crowded bazaar is a beggar. If you are spending
A day at your home, every other man who knocks at your door will be a beggar.
Begging has become a popular and prosperous profession. Some innocent people
Think that beggars are poor people. The truth is that most of the beggars are quite
Well-to-do persons. Some beggars are quite rich. There are some persons who hire
Beggars on monthly salary for begging. The difference between the salary and the
Earning of these beggars is the organized, s profit. There is only a small number
Of beggars who are crippled. Blind or otherwise disabled. One can understand
Why these unfortunate creatures beg. But the great majority of beggars comprises
Strong and healthy people. They can do any sort of manual lab our but they find
Begging easier and more paying. Begging is an art that needs a special kind of
Intelligence. Some beggars are born with this quality. Others have to learn through
Practice and hard work. A good beggar must have something of an actor in him.
He must be a good judge of character. He must know the weaknesses of various
Types of people. He must have a sense of timing. A great number of beggars have
All these qualities and many more baggers who have large bank accounts and
Own houses and shops are not rare. They live in respectable housed in good
Localities and go to other parts of the town for the purpose of begging.
Some beggars are not genuine beggars. They disguise as beggars. They are
Burglars. Child lifters or abductors. While posing as beggars they are on the
Look out for a locked house, a lonely child or an unescorted woman in
A deserted place. The government has tried many times to ban begging and
Provide the beggars an opportunity to become useful members of the society.
Still the beggars are with us, and begging is spreading like plague.
