the State machinery is very considerate about the persons who are endowed less with resources

यत्र नास्ति बलात्कारः स राजा तीव्रशासनः।

भीरेव नास्ति संबन्धो दरिद्रं यो बुभूषते॥

Anushasika Parvam of Mahabharatha is talking about an ideal and popular state machinery

The king or ruler is indeed very earnest, intense, sincere and meticulous in discharging his duties of administration an dispensation of justice

The state where there is no use of undue force, violence, excessive pressure in enforcement of law and order

The people, the citizens, need not live in anxiety, trepidation, sense of shyness or shame about the things happening around, they need not be worried about their safety and security

And the ruler or the State machinery is very considerate about the persons who are endowed less with resources, who are poor, and no one need feel side-lined just because he is poor materially.

What a noble idea! What a vision!

And where do we stand even in our much touted welfare states after many millenniums ?
