Poverty is the worst form of violence. Explain?


The great Indian political leader Mahatma Gandhi once said that “poverty is the worst kind of violence against a nation.” And he was right. For him violence is synonymous with exploitation it is violence in, more passive form as discrimination, oppression or exploitation. Violence is seen to occur in three waysthrough, first omission, failing to provide assistance to people in need. second as a result of repression, or a violation of civil, political, economic and social rights or through , third alienation or severely limiting people’s emotional, cultural or intellectual growth. Social system legal, economic, political, traditional often exclude the poor from rights, resources and relationships. Poverty is humiliation the sense of being dependent on others. Poverty is lack of freedom enslaved by crushing daily burden by depression and fear of what the future will bring. Hence it is called a violence of extreme form.
