its totally true. Beggars ask for money from us and then hand it over to their bosses. But those who dont work for anyone and still beg are even worse . Instead of using time in begging in markets and on roads they can try to sell goods of other dealers on roads . This way they can earn money.
Should we help/donate money to beggars

Uhu, Not Gonna Happen!
I think not all beggars belong to a gang kind of which we have seen in movies like "traffic signal" and "slumdog millionarie". there are many old ppl who are abandoned by their worthless children too. shouldn't we help them?
If you think that helping a needy is a good practice, I will appeal you to do it in any form possible. Although I give a part of my salary to CRY and Help Age, but similar to amohit I frequently give roadside beggars some food item. Please do not make any perception because you have seen a couple of cheaters. If we are well-off than others, it is our moral responsibility to help those who need help.

Give them food everytime they ask you for money. It is a good gesture and helping someone that way is a much nobler cause.
But giving them money is the worst kind of sin. It cripples them and they get used to begging.
However i give money to the very old and crippled. It would be stupidity on my part to think that they can land a job. However many beggars are getting amputations of fingers and limbs done for the very reason. Its saddening.
Hope we eradicate poverty in our country.

I was living from much time in the same dilemma, as to whether or not to give them money.
Thnx Sarath for reviving an old thread, cause w/o it, it maynot have ever came to my limelight.
This thread opened many insights to me. Better to give food than money. And only give it to those, who are really crippled.
