Is poverty a state of mind?

what is poverty? Is this about having less money and comforts or this is state of mind. Rahul Gandhi has stressed that this is state of mind. He has definitely made a sensible point. In fact everything begins with mind. But it is government's duty to bring a transformation in human mind. Give people education, skill and encourage to work. Then poverty will vanish. Poverty cannot be removed by charity.

I think he is right. Rahul Gandhi will become a very good prime minister, who will take this country to newer heights. I am looking forward to the day when he will takeover. :) We need such bright people at the helm of affairs.

From his press statements i too arrive to the conclusion that he is a man with down to earth thoughts.

Let us vote him to power, we need people like him for the betterment of our country. I will sure vote for him if the elections held after my return to India. :)

Sir, you can vote neither for Rahul nor for Modi as P.M. as there is no direct election to P.M. post. You will vote only for M.P. of your area. The MPs will elect P.M.

The saying goes- Every drop counts, we cannot vote them to power directly but our combined efforts will definitely see them where they deserve.

There can be no combined effort also. The position differs from place to place. You will only vote for a candidate on various factors- party affiliation, personal relation, quality of candidate and so on. The voters throughout India can never vote as a team. Ultimately, the shape of government will be decided only by MPs. These days many opine that quality of candidate mattes more than party. So on this basis the results are likely to be very hotch potch. You just cause your vote in a constituency after which you have no say. Then leave to elected MPs the task of selecting PM.

However hotch potch, every vote counts in the end. Unless a candidate wins in a constituency he does not reach to parliament. Rahul or Modi must reach to parliament first to be there on top.

Rahul and Modi don't need to reach parliament for becoming PM. Only their supporters should be in sufficient number there. One can remain PM or minister for six months without being M.P. Every vote counts if you vote on party basis only. But as many cast vote on caste, community, personal friendship, individual preference as against party preference and strength of parties in states vastly vary, thee can be only hotch potch. Possibly a voter likes Modi but feels that local congress candidate is better, he may vote congress. Similarly a Rahul fan may vote for BJP candidate feeling that the candidate is good. This happens more often than you may expect. In last assembly elections, one of my friends who is in BJP actively worked for congress candidate owing to pesonal relation. I hope my viewpoint is clear.

Your point was never unclear to me and I am sure I am not the only one who is excited about election although I am not sure if I would be voting in coming election for first time ever, however I'll miss it because in our country voting is the only voices you have no matter whatever your political persuasion. I am genuinely interested in the fate of my country and I do care for it.

Thanks for your comments. In fact, Boddunan is the rare forum where there is so open and free discussion on all matters in a spirit of mutual good will in spite of diversity of views. This is much different from social sites like Facebook.

I am member of many discussion sites where we discuss openly without having any personal grudge or feeling of bullying a weak or bowing to a strong. We do it just for enhancing our knowledge and share what we think. Nothing personal or for the sake of ill will or just because we fancied wrong and wanted others to follow our designs. I am here on boddunan for sharing my views sir, not loading others with my personal choices. I never do it on even facebook, I never share my views there but article links only.

Now Facebook is not only for friendship. The political parties, social organizations, authors, poets all are on Facebook. Often there are very lively comments. In this connection, I may refer to arrest of a poet for criticizing U.P. government through Facebook on the issue of Durga shakti IAS suspension. I use Facebook for communicating with my family members and friends. Also, I am following some political/ social organizations on Facebook for getting recent information and views. Facebook and twitter can be used for getting new ideas that we may use in Boddunan forums.

I agree, poverty is a state of mind and it is not limited to money matters but how one thinks and act is controlled by mind. So we can say thinking in a particular way is also specific state of one's mind.

This is a bit ambiguous statement... Imagine a worker who can't feed his family and Mr. Rahul Gandi comes and says son its only in your mind, you are not poor, you just can't feed ur family.. This statement is only feel good statement.. nothing more than that...

That's what our netas are good at, they try to wash your mind to make you feel better fed than others even if you have not eaten for ages. They keep you showing bright future, although you have eaten nothing for past 66 years.

Nobody can remove poverty if the person himself desires. So it is necessary to change mind set. People should be encouraged to get skill and work. Only this way poverty can be reduced. Rahul Gandhi made most sensible statement. You cannot eliminate poverty by distributing fish. You can do this by changing mind of the poor by motivating him to work by fishing.

India has more than 50 % of population below the poverty level and they do not have the time nor the inclination to sit and analyse the supposedly wise quotes of a person who does little to help them other than talk big.If he acts out his words one can call him sensible, but as of now he looks more and more stupid with every statement he makes...He seems totally cut off from the realities of India...

It is not for those below poverty line to listen and react to Rahul. In fact it is for the planners in Congress to listen to his advice and act to train and enhance skill of those below poverty line and help them earn more. His advice is more relevant to government and planning commission as well as social organizations.

Only a die hard fan of Rahul Gandhi can give him credit for such a insensitive statement....By the way He never said it to the congress working committee or to the leaders but at a rally addressing the people...

Even then his message is to all. His statement is also true. Everything begins with mind. Even if ten percent understand and accept what he said, they will be benefited. what he said is every day experience.

India has more than 50 % of population below the poverty level and they do not have the time nor the inclination to sit and analyse the supposedly wise quotes of a person who does little to help them other than talk big.If he acts out his words one can call him sensible, but as of now he looks more and more stupid with every statement he makes...He seems totally cut off from the realities of India...

It is not for those below poverty line to listen and react to Rahul. In fact it is for the planners in Congress to listen to his advice and act to train and enhance skill of those below poverty line and help them earn more. His advice is more relevant to government and planning commission as well as social organizations.

Only a die hard fan of Rahul Gandhi can give him credit for such a insensitive statement....By the way He never said it to the congress working committee or to the leaders but at a rally addressing the people...

Even then his message is to all. His statement is also true. Everything begins with mind. Even if ten percent understand and accept what he said, they will be benefited. what he said is every day experience.

I have started to believe how it's possible to have so many misinformed so-called leaders in our political system who need a compete overhaul. Why these terrible people are being allowed to make advances in political world without incorporating some training to speak!

I agree, poverty is a state of mind and it is not limited to money matters but how one thinks and act is controlled by mind. So we can say thinking in a particular way is also specific state of one's mind.

This is a bit ambiguous statement... Imagine a worker who can't feed his family and Mr. Rahul Gandi comes and says son its only in your mind, you are not poor, you just can't feed ur family.. This statement is only feel good statement.. nothing more than that...

It is much more than just feel good ststement, it is an inensitive and irresponsible statement coming from a spoilt brat drunk on power....he should try doing that before lecturing others ...

Exactly my sentiments ! I feel that there should be some necessary qualifications required to become a politician...
1, no criminal record whatsoever , ..
2, Should have worked in the army for at least a year
3, Should have a minimum basic education and also attend a course in political and social science...

But Sir at the same time, give the solution.. Merely by saying a good quote you are not helping at all. Come forward at do something with a solution....

Solution is simple. This is given above in my post. You need give skill and motivation to people to earn for their livelihood. The example of teaching fishing instead of giving fish in charity suffices to bring home the solution.

I have a feeling that an average Ieducated ndian is better than Rahul Gandhi in every which way, I dont think he is someone a youngster can take as a role model.It is a well known fact that he had drug pedling charge against him which were later compromised and now goes around in a porsche bought from the nations funds talking as if he is a patriot. Such person can never be preaching here about poverty ! He heeds to give some credit to the people ( the ten percent included) for possessing enough common sense to know who to fiollow and who not to...
