COPENHEGAN COIN

Melting icebergs, rising temparatures, water shortages, withering species - the crazy attributes of global warming. We all are indeed aware of what the misuse of power and resources can ferret out of the environment. World is falling prey to destruction as a byproduct of pollution. Our focus should be towards the eleminating the cause if this environmental depletion, or at least curb the harmful effects of global warming.Government of India have also extended favourable support towards the cause.The result being the decrease of India's carbon emmission rate to 5.4%.

India- the, most popular & populated Democracy, that is how i would love to identify her in the international forums. Being the largest "DEVELOPING DEMOCRACY" of the world, India is all engaged in its bid to emerge as a world power. But somewhere in the wake of her ambitions she has become apprehensive about standing for its own cause. Like any other third world countries, India today is more inclined towards following the tenets laid down by the World Biggies rather than applying her own discreetional abilities. A fact that has been proven yet another time in the 20:20 World Summit and probably would be proven again in the G-77 summit to be followed at Copenhegan. She agreed to the curricullum of cutting down its carbon emmission by 20 to 25%, inspite of strong condemnation comming from various stratum of the Indian society.

It is ironical to watch India paying a price almost same in comparison to the First world countries, who were and are the largest contributors to global warming. The injustice meted upon us is unjustifisble when countries like US have a much higher rate of carbon emission than India's by at least 70%.

I see an acute prevalence of faovouritism and convinience in the Anarchist-led World. Sighting over our growing dependence upon & economic relationships with US, it will be surely very difficult for India to take a strong stand without stirring the Hornet's nest. Indeed the Negotiations in Climate Change has Not been Global, what is now left to be seen is that will India be able to overcome her dillema or will she succumb to it.

What is left to be seen is India's stand at Copenhegan.....Will she follow the tune of US sighting her growing billateral relation with the country....or , will she stand for her virtue.
