In my opinion, there are two possible reasons.
First, the government probably does not think these guys are any kind of a threat to them. I mean, so what if there are some people out walking around when no one knows they're there? It's like the thing about the tree falling in the forest with no one around.
Fakir= A holy man from India who can do miraculous things.
From my definition I know that a holy person put a spell on the monkey’s paw to teach humanity a lesson. In the text Mr. White says that he wants to go to India "to see those old temples and fakirs and jugglers." From this I can infer that the Fakirs are people from India. Sergeant Major says that “a very holy man” put a spell on the monkey’s paw. This means that fakirs are holy people from India. To check my definition and understanding I can check a dictionary or obviously google it up!!!
