re: Is Poverty artificially created? |

Its a Good Amen that persons start feeling haunted with this kind of questions. Poverty is basically a state of mind. There has been, in the last 175 years or so, a conscious effort- in my opinion - to let the people suffer from that state of mind. What is that state of mind: The state of mind that keeps people subdued with the belief that they are poor.
Poverty, in general, and in India, in particular, is the result of no-leadership mettle. A leader needs to envision that "you can" rather than harping on "they are responsible for your poverty" orientation.
What needs to be done? 1. Ensure education to all in good schools [I mean hiegenic environ], transport facilities [young kids should not go in cramped, crowded, de-meaning manner; they need to travel with dignity, fellowship and reasonable comfort expected of a kid going to a learning place] and catering to their aspirations. The kids needs to internalise that their prosperity is, in essence, their making. Not others' charity.
Are we ready for that? One thing is certain: we are sure to move to that...today, tommorrow,....is only the question...
