Poor are not poor but were made poor;

they have voices but made suppressed;
they have energy but being exploited; all
victimized people are poor and all poor
are victims of the system fault.
Poverty does not come by birth, it is an
acquired situation. The circumstances
in a nation are the major factors where
people can flourish or deteriorate.
 Poor are product of difficult circumstance;
the circumstances are the products of fault
systems; the fault systems are the products
of wrong men in decision making; wrong
men in leadership are the products of poor
people’s votes; poor people made wrong
decision in selecting ‘the best among the
worst leaders’ and gave them consent for
ruling over themselves which is product of
low level of awareness about civic rights.
 Low level of awareness is the product of
lack of good education because education
makes people easy to lead but difficult to
enslave. The education, under colonized
developing countries, does not emphasize
in identifying inner potentiality rather it
produces exact photocopies after going
through memorization based courses. The
lack of proper education, eventually, is
the result of fault in the existing systems.
 Nature has given people energy and vitality
and only they can succeed who use their
power productively but failures can never
recognize their own hidden capacities due to
ignorance. Poor, therefore, are state/system
made poor who have no direct access to the
national resources and the opportunities.
 Standard indicators in measuring the poverty,
should not be based only on money earning
capacity but also various other factors such as
indigenous knowledge, socio-economy, socio-
cultures, languages, potential resources etc. are
the precious assets, which determine whether
the communities are really richer or poorer.
 Those countries are poorest, who have
not included all casts, creeds, religions,
sex and political thoughts within their
systems. They have not only excluded the
poor from the main developmental stream
but also loosing chance of progresses.
Discriminations, human rights violations,
disturbances and misunderstanding are
usually in those societies where all people
are not participating for a shared goal.
 Marginalized group of people, who
have potential resources, could be
used as the best nation builders,
unfortunately, no one is thinking on
this issue seriously in our nation.
 A country cannot have fruits without its
roots i.e. grassroots communities which are
strong foundation for development. Poor
countries’ systems are incomplete because
they have not included all components into
them. The systems are made so narrow so
that certain classes of people only have
direct control over them. Without creative
approaches to the problem/opportunities,
we can hardly alleviate poverty in totality.
 For this, most important requirement is system
reform that consists good governance that
means orderly; result oriented mechanism, that
means capable in work and the scientifically
improvement in the distribution that means
justifiable returns in the action.
