Should begging be banned in India?








The above statement is very controversial and provokes our senses for a debate.Before answering, it requires a serious brooding, keeping in mind the ever increasing Indian population . If the topic is put forward in comming years, it will lead to a nation wide chaos. When we see a begger, with thirsty eyes, torn clothes and tottering about in the street, it is our humble intention to help him. But keep your emotions and kindness away for a while and think in those terms that should anything be given to anyone to whom it doesn't belong.
Now you might say, I am becomming inhuman.When we provide a begger with food or money, an enriching feeling surpasses us. But think for a while that instead of helping, you have paralysed him. Hold you, you have not done the "kind" deed, he should have done a hectic task to earn it. Now he will become a parasite, and live on the monopoly of others. Now, let me throw some light on the 'needy' beggers of present times. If you give him a rupee coin, he will glare at you, will start grinning and with show such an attitude as if you are his servent.
Let us compare a begger with a rickshaw puller. The latter toils and toils to earn a penny while the former gives a damn to the grueling job. Why the hell anyone needs to work, if he gets his living free of cost? So, actually, it is the society which has transformed men to beggers.
Begging has existed since ancient times. But there was a rule that a begger can go only to five houses for begging . Now a days, they are free to go to any number of house, on the street, even in temples, compelling you to give them something. If you are that much intrepid that you won't give, by ready to listen to abusing language.
Our ministers and politicians say that India will be a developed country by 2020 A.D. If that difficult dream is to be made possible, this vampire of begging must be removed from its roots. Unless and until every citizen knows the meaning of self reliance and self dependence, India cannot become a develope country.

Great start. The topic was might apparently look simple but it has a greater angle to it. The subject was dealt nicely, except for a couple of grammatical misses (which can be removed and generally do not hamper the flow), it was well structured. Being your first blog, i can say that u have almost hit the bulls eye!!! but the road to perfection is never long and straight!! Great going anyways...My Love to you..

Nice work man. Excellent topic, good research and I like ur narrative style of writing.
Now time for some constructive feedback:
Try to include a bit of humour. It increases rthe interest level of the reader. For example youy could start out with something like this:
"Delhi,2009 - The first F1 race is being held in India. Kimi Raikonnen takes a pit stop and just as he is expecting his fuel tank to be filled, a hand appears in front of his helmet. Its a full grown, 30 something man dressed in rags begging on the streets who has strayed a bit from his usual workplace. Welcome to India Kimi."

Also, a blog is about some related topics that you are going to write about a few times. for example your blog could be named "India Aha!!!" and what you have written would be a post in it. And then youy could later return to the same blog to write some more.
But I must say its a great start. When I was your age, I was still making sketches of cars (all with with guns on them) in maths text books.

Tooo... good!! Looks like the kid has grown up now. Not only he is able to form any opinion on the contemporary issues, but has got strength and words to justify his views.
Keep going..

Agreed!
Nothing comes for free!
Begging can't be accepted as a profession.

Well.....its is an excellent topic to debate indeed.U have handled it really well.What I would like to add is that India is a "Welfare State".....so the Government is liable to provide these people three basic neccessities of life.The government impose taxes on us to improve the conditions of our country and make India an economically powerful giant.So why should we provide these beggars money when they behave ingratitudefully and they are responsibility of the government.The presence of beggars in our country shows lack of commitment on Government's part.Anyways....whatever it is.....u did a great job in elucudating ur point.Keep it up!!!
