8 Professional Beggars in India Who Might Be Richer Than You:

The last data collected by the Indian census states that there are over 4 lakh beggars in our country. Reportedly West Bengal alone consists of 81,000, Uttar Pradesh has 65,835, 29,723 in Andhra Pradesh and MP has 28695.

Although, begging is considered to be illegal in India and under the IPC it is a crime. But reportedly, India has a whole ‘begging industry’ worth $1.5 billion. We can find beggars in every nook and corner, paradox!

In a country where we talk about, rich are getting richer and poor getting down further in the abyss, but no here is a twist; few know how to survive and not just survive, but even can live a life better than me and many of you.

It’s not just a random act, but the act of begging is much systemized and properly practised. It is channelized as well. There are different gangs and there is a gang leader. Small brats collect and all the money goes into the pocket of the head.

Here are some of those professional beggars across different cities in our country.
