It is just a fleeting moment in our lives. We indians have hearts that knows to weep but do nothing else more. I was feeling so bad looking at women begging on the streets with sleeping children today. I was googling and came across this post. What can we do! Sadly not much in our country. Anton Hi,

Speaking of the indiscriminate charity of India as compared with the legal charity of other nations, he said, the outcome of their system of relief was that the vagabond of India was contented to receive readily what he was given readily and lived a peaceful and contented life: while the vagabond in the West, unwilling to go to the poor-house — for man loves liberty more than food — turned a robber, the enemy of society, and necessitated the organisation of a system of magistracy, police, jails, and other establishments. Poverty there must be, so long as the disease known as civilisation existed: and hence the need for relief. So that they had to choose between the indiscriminate charity of India, which, in the case of Sannyâsins at any rate, even if they were not sincere men, at least forced them to learn some little of their scriptures before they were able to obtain food; and the discriminate charity of Western nations which necessitated a costly system of poor-law relief, and in the end succeeded only in changing mendicants into criminals.

First time I have found such a simple but in-depth strategy of 'giving'. I am working with a small NGO and running schools for around 300 poor children under national Child Labour Project in Faridabad, Haryana besides some other works in Delhi. I am trying to start a movement to 'Stop Child Begging' in Faridabad. Your insight helped me well to put some more points to it. Thank you and invite you to be frinds in facebook (act_ngo@yahoo.co.uk) Wish you a nice time Hello friend !

The first time I went to Delhi, the picture on your blog is exactly what I saw leaving the airport. (BTW...that is a freaky pic). I was not prepared for that, nor was I prepared for the NON-reaction from my husband and his friend. As they stared straight, I am thinking WTH and what do you do when they keep tapping on your window, their tummy, their mouth...over and over? In a short period of time, I too trained myself to not look at them so they would just go away--especially the area around Hanuman mandir in Delhi. I also soon realized it was much better to give the money to a charity that would best appropriate the funds. Although, I do remember when I was at the airport, there was a lady working the washroom. I had so much change left, I just handed her a big handfuls before I boarded the plane. I felt pretty good about that, and she was very happy. Great post!
