Begging is a worldwide phenomenon. The age old proverb, beggars
canít be choosers, is clear about beggars not having a choice-
but is that really true of todayís begging population in Lahore,
Pakistan? Beggars of Lahore is a journey into the streets of
Pakistanís cultural hub and second largest city to discover
what compels the beggars to beg, what measures have been put
in place by the Government and Non Governmental Organisations
to assist the beggars, and what the solutions may be to eradicate
the problem.
