In a related development, the city of Indore is taking a bold step by planning to criminalize giving money to beggars. This move aims to reduce the beggary problem and encourage citizens to support sustainable initiatives, such as rehabilitation programs, rather than simply offering handouts.
The viral video has sparked a lot of conversation. Is begging actually a good career path? It shows how difficult it can be to earn a decent living in India’s economy that people are actively living a more lavish life as beggars.
