In a country like India, begging is considered pretty much a full-time occupation. You’re probably on either side of the spectrum – either you’re kind to the beggar at the traffic signal and offer him money, or you turn around and walk off. Whichever act you choose to endorse, however, we guarantee you didn’t know this – a beggar on the streets of India can earn as much as 30,000 a month! That’s as much as a young professional’s salary!

Don’t believe us? Take a look at this video below, which is currently going viral. Indi Viral uploaded this video of a DU graduate (also a BPO professional) who dressed up as a beggar and went out on the roads of Delhi, hankering for money from people for a full two hours!

What he discovers at the end will shock you.
