Story of a DUMB beggar who used to beg only at night #India #Compassion #Poverty

This is from my childhood memories. We lived in Junagadh in Gujarat.

Every night at about 10 pm, a beggar used to come in street. He could not speak. So he used to make a strange loud noise from his throat for begging purpose.

The people used to give him left over food. He used to collect this left over food from houses and used to feed his family.

The strange noise he used to make from his throat left impression on my memory.

Thereafter, in Ahmedabad or Delhi, I have not seen such beggars who come at night to collect excess and left over food.

I think now people throw away excess and left over food or they pass them in drain.
