The people give food to the wandering Samanas in "Siddhartha" because they respect their spiritual practices and hope to receive blessings or spiritual guidance in return. It is considered an act of merit or charity to provide food and other basic necessities to wandering ascetics who are believed to be on a noble quest for spiritual enlightenment.

Answer:

The Samanas are starved, half-nak, and must beg for food, but only because they believe enlightenment can be reached through asceticism, a rejection of the body and physical desire.
