  We have discussed here the polarization of quantum Hall states in the
framework of the hierarchical analysis of IQHE and FQHE in terms of Berry
phase. It is observed that we have fully polarized states for the filling
factor $\nu=1$ as well as $\nu=\frac{1}{2m+1}$, $m$ being an integer. However,
for $\nu=p$ as well as $\nu =\frac{p}{q}$, with $p>1$ and odd, $q$ odd we have
partially polarized states and for $\nu=\frac{p}{q}$, $p$ even, $q$ odd we have
unpolarized states. It has been found that skyrmion excitations exist only for
fully polarized states and for partially polarized and unpolarized states
skyrmionic excitations do not exist.
