This research paper investigates the phenomenon of organized begging in India’s Punjab, focusing on its intricate connections to commerce, governance, and social impact. While traditionally perceived as a symptom of poverty, begging in contemporary urban Punjab has transformed into a structured and exploitative system, orchestrated by "begging mafias" that manipulate vulnerable populations, including children and marginalized groups. The study emphasizes the significant rise of organized begging in urban centers, particularly near religious and tourist destinations, where cultural practices of almsgiving unintentionally perpetuate these exploitative networks. The inadequate legal frameworks and governance mechanisms in Punjab further exacerbate the issue, as existing laws fail to address the complex distinction between coerced and voluntary begging. This paper synthesizes interdisciplinary literature to conceptualize organized begging as a systemic issue rooted in socio economic vulnerabilities, deficient legal protections, and cultural norms that valorize charity. It advocates for interdisciplinary approaches that integrate law enforcement, social welfare, and civil society efforts to dismantle these organized begging networks while providing rehabilitation and reintegration support for affected individuals. The findings highlight the urgent need for policy reforms and public awareness initiatives to address the ethical and humanitarian implications of organized begging in Punjab.
