[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After I travelled to India and Nepal I stopping giving to beggars in the US. Give me a break! We don't know real poverty here. An old lady living in basically a cardboard box invited me into her 'home' and asked me to drink chai with her. These people have nothing and still want to give. Americans are so ungrateful and there's so many programs here for the poor. I will never give to beggars in the western world. [/quote] I just. 1) India isn't tourist poverty porn. It's not a land of tragedy that exists to make you feel good about yourself; in fact, it's quite wealthy and corrupt. 2) India is the industrial capital of fake beggars. I'm speaking as an Indian. This thread amuses me because all the panhandling described here has been an established thing in India for DECADES.[/quote]
