"THE BEGGARS OF CALCUTTA.
A SYNDICATED INDUSTRY.
On an evening's walk down Chowringhee-Calcutta's best and
one of the world's finest streets--
you may see, if you look for them, a few ugly and sinister, things as well as n very fair share of all things bright and beautiful; but there is one that may test your nerves-unless time and experience have fossilised them-a little more than all the rest do. It is the sight, of in apparently cheerful, half- naked tiny boy squatting in the middle of the pavement, bent double over his twisted knees, saluting passers-by with a feeble arm whose "elbow rests on the ground. In the cool of nightfall he wears a dirty piece of cloth round his neck. It hangs no lower because where the small of his back should be there is a horrible, huge hump, and if the hump were covered his market value in the trade of beggary would be

time or other the point of the hump has been cut off rather clumsily. The boy belongs to one Calcutta's largest commercial com- munities. At the census of 1941 it consisted of 26,926 persons describ ing themselves as beggars and pro- stitutes, 12,356 people claiming to be procurers and prostitutes, 14,500 simple beggars, and an uncertain proportion of the 708,613 people whose occupations were insuf. ficiently described" The numbers of the first two sections can be ac

Controlled by a Syndicate. Those who have troubled to ex- plore its ramifications will tell you that almost the whole trade in Cal cutta is organised and controlled by syndicate, powerful and clusive, which "makes a very good thing" out of it. Adults they engage us beggars in the ordinary relationship of principal and agent or employer and employed, but the children, as a rule, are begged, borrowed, hired, bought, or perhaps stolen from their parenta. Their various "beats" are allotted to them: you can some- times see them being escorted thither by men who may be mem- bers at servants of the syndicate. If they are cripples, so much the better the more serious the de- formiity, the greater the profit. You will remember that W. H. Davies was envied for his wooden leg. But sometimes the Calcutta begger'a de- formity is less certainly due to mis chance from Mr. Davies'a one- leggedness is. One still hears tales, counted, of things most horrible taik which cannot altogether be dis
done in some parts of Iudic.
Occasionally some well-meaning person or organisation will try to rescue a beggar boy from the streets or a girl from a brothel, and lodge them in a good home. The case will be taken into court by a man who (for all one knows) may be in the. syndicate or financed by it for the purpose, and be will claim that the boy is his son never to be` parted - from him, or that the girl has reach ed, the so-called age of consent. In two such cases lately these claims were satisfactorily disproved; bút“ the fuck is often on the other side. The little bunchback, as a matter of | fact, réfused the offer of help, but whether because he was content or because he was terrorised it is im- possible to know.
