Many people believe it is okay to give money to beggars and many people strictly never give money to beggars. This worldwide delima brings new questions to the kind & generous traveler. While it is good to be sharing, one should know their own limits and be cautious of their surroundings in certain circumstances. Beggars can range from poor school children to old people using crutches to help them move around. If you do decide to give money to beggars, be careful how much you give for fear of being mobbed by beggars. This is a phenomenon that sometimes occurs in India. There are ways to avoid being mobbed by beggars if you are going to give them money. One good tip and rule of thumb to avoid problems is to only give beggars money when you are leaving a place, not when you are going to stay at a place for a while.
