GREAT THARUS ABHOR BEGGARY !!! A CASE STUDY OF THARUS OF WEST CHAMPARAN



GREAT THARUS ABHOR BEGGARY !!! 



We do find a large number of beggars  drawn from almost every caste or community on all the crossings of the big cities and even in small towns & villages or in bus or train ,or for that matter anywhere.  Some of them are part of the big racket. Beggary has become  not only a thriving industry  but a big problem  because it tarnishes the image of the country. People  who are engaged in this profession,do not want to do any other  work as  they make a good earnings easily  through beggary.


 It is quite astonishing  but  immensely inspiring that despite backwardness & poverty there is hardly any beggar found in the whole of Tharuhat. A Tharu shudders at the sight of a Tharu beggar. Tharus are  people of self dignity .

The Tharus do not hesitate giving alms to the beggars even though, they may not be in a position to give. This exhibits the   humanitarian aspect of their personality which is hardly  to be found in the so called  highly educated civilized people of the big cities.
