Here Are Some Professional Beggars In India Who Are Probably Richer Than most of us !

Over the last 10 years, the rich have got richer and the beggars have reappeared on the streets. There are professional beggars of a new breed now a days. Yes, and they are begging very nicely.

When we see beggars on traffic signals, temples, footpaths or outside restaurants, we are filled with remorse, we pity them and hope for them to have a better life. However, this article will certainly change your mind.

Although India has many people living under the poverty line, the act of begging that actually happen are systemized and practised properly. There are certain gangs in every city and they have a gang leader who manages the whole group. All the earnings that the beggars receive go to the gang leader and this is how it works.

Our country has no scarcity for beggars and nor does it have for the scams at the same time.
Here’s a list of few super rich beggars in India, who own apartments, have lots of properties and a huge bank balance. But still they are living the life, they started.

5. Massu/Malana: Takes an auto-rickshaw to reach his begging spot

The ‘cool’ Massu takes an auto-rickshaw, reaches his begging spot, changes his clothes, begs for 8-10 hours, takes an auto back home. How wonderful it must be, to be this talented.

6. Sarvatia Devi : pays Rs.36,000 every year as protection premium.

Sarvatia Devi from Patna is among the most popular female poor people in the nation. She has an agreeable home behind Ashok Cinemas in Patna, and her little girl is hitched and very much settled. She's made savvy speculations and pays Rs.36,000 every year as protection premium.

There are many others like them who can even throw you challenges with their monthly income.

If there is so much government schemes for rehabilitation, why does this continue? Who is responsible for this?

It’s a fact that the politicians of India aren’t going to do anything about it. So ‘we’ need to act and stop making begging a major revenue eater of this country.
