What's the big deal?

Rs. 180 crore shared by three lakh beggars works out to Rs. 6,000/- per annum per beggar. The headlines insinuate that the beggars make a tidy sum. There have been lot of people who have been displaced from disaster zones like Bhuj, Latur, etc., who have been forced to live a life of begging. Let's not ostracise them further.
