Would it not be a good idea to organise a separate state for all underprivileged and poor sections of society? Would it help in proper formulation and implementation of welfare programmes exclusively for the targeted groups? Just for expediency, efficiency, economy and proper utilisation of the resources?

Realistic rather than emotional approach seems to make sense.

Veri rich responses indeed, but it is rather surprising to know that a significantt number of people are being governed by discriminatory rules formulated between 1 B.C to 3000 B.C. The governing dominant wing of society is proceeding forward via 21 st century whereas those persistently subjected to traditional superstitious rules are marching toward stione age via medievial posts. Man may become an endngered specie with advent of robbots and other scientific appliances. Man would love robots and other such mechanical and electronic creature rather than his children or other living creatures. Everybody cannot keep alve in the might is right situation. And for God, the fittest is the most unfit in the long run. The moment could be relaxed a little, A little generosity may probabily fetch good returns than charging indiscriminate costs in certain matters.

MAJORITY OPINION IS THAT SEPARATE STATE IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. Nevertheless, the idea of separate state was to find out if something better could be made possible by creation of separate province/state/district etc. for the benefit of those poors who's condition could not improve even after several decades of various programmes/schemes for their upliftment in some countries. In case there is any concept like 'Sustainable Poverty ', it would probably demarcate certain level of economic and social status below which life is not worth living. Creation of separate state for poors may probably ensure atleast 'Sustainable Poverty' with improved social status at no extra cost. And it is just illusion to believe that it is richs who pay for the survival of poors. Such an illusive dependance of the poors on richs can also be avoided. Redundance of poors with each technological advancement may also be reverted ensuring a meaningful role for each according to one's ability.

Competition, Survival of the fittest,might is right etc. etc. applies to such animals who's only purpose in life is to get enough food by killing other animals. It doesnot apply when it comes to the civil society of human beings. It is this misunderstanding of purely natural relations of one specie of animals with regard to the others which popularised the concept like 'Might is right' and provided all sort of clarifications in favour all sort of unfair competition. Competition does not mean that human competitors have the right to eliminate humans for competition sake. Humans are a natural competitors with other animals for survival and not with humans of his own like. Any competition which create poverty is never desirable and must be regulated by suitable rules. Creation of separate division/state for poors may also ensure a fair and real competition which is the soul and spirit of the free world.

Creating a separate state alone cannot solve the problem of poverty. A separate state can however tackle the problem better than an exclusive ministry or department. This may give an equal social status but may take lot of time for ensuring economic equality. Let the states inhabited by rich be richer so that most of their time is enjoyed in five star hotels. This way they will not have much need for domestic servants and those servants may be utilised for more productive and remunerative jobs. Creation of a separate state may link the poor people with regional and global streamlines as they now would have a direct relationship with the outer world and benefit out of it. The state created for the poors can become rich very soon becouse it is not difficult for one to become rich during one's prime days if there is proper environment and a desire to make progress in life.

Dude, what in the heck is wrong with you. If the poor live in another state, how would my maid come into my house to clean my stuff. LOL

There is a government unit that seperate rich and the poor. Its called a city. Rich people create cities so their tax dollars wont go to police poor neighborhood. I am a little miffed that police don't bother protecting property despite those with property pay the most taxes. On the other hand its nice if the police arrest the ne'er do well where they live too. The stupid thing, that I don't understand is why poor neighborhoods decide to seperate into their own city as well. THe major drawback is that the poor stay stupid. Rich neighborhood hoards resources to school their own kids and people in poor neighborhoods (I hate to say, but most often of certain ethnic groups) recieve insufficient funds to teach. Beside a good economy needs different layers of classes.

No. Poor and rich are relative terms. This will never help in formulating welfare measures. Instead awareness can be created among people about humane approach among people and sense of sacrifice and helping nature . The so called rich should try to uplift the poor . The Gandhian approach is more suitable for bridging the gap between poor and rich
It is emphatically reiterated that there should not be discrimination between the poor and the rich

I don`t think you thought out what might happen if this was a fact.

There are more people than rich, so they would control the vote, and soon have all the tax money coming their way, Plenty of pay and no work. Taxes would have to raise till the rich people could not afford to pay them. They too would become poor and fall in with the majority. No one to pay the taxes, therefore the poor could not have any help.

I won`t go in to all the problems that would arise from start to finish.

It is not a good idea. If implemented, you will create another nation of untouchables. No body would like to be associated with a State specially created for the poor and under-privileged. A State created only for the purpose of special treatment will lose all self respect to come up in the ladder of society.

Apparently you do not fall up under the poor category. This country was built on morals. It also was shaped with prayers and sacrifices of our countrymen both rich and poor. There is already enough segragation within this great country. You want to add one more thing to the long list negatives. There will never be a correct formulation on who needs help. Trouble and despair is never far from any of us.

In fact they should be sent to rich countries on govt expenses and let them stay at least for 5 years. In country like India rich people are becoming rich day by day and economically backward people are becoming poor & poor.

Hey, I'm a college grad and have a low paying, part time position. What the H makes you think I'd want someone dragging me off to another state? I'm not sucking off the system either. Target me and they'd be the target. No one will put me with a bunch of lazy derelicts.

How to carve a separate for poor. Every State, District, Panchayat, has poor people. Can we ask all of them to settle in a place so that it is recognised as a State with poor people.

Yeah, State of Hope and State of Desperation. You sound a bit like Adolf Schicklegrubber from Austria. I think that's what we probably would have wanted to do.
