India-China Heralding New Era

India-China Heralding New Era

In one sign that India wants the Xi visit to be a success, New Delhi asked the Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama to reschedule an event in the capital so that it would not clash with the Chinese president's trip there on Friday. More can be done in this by further strengthening our strategic communication; enhancing mutual trust and confidence; showing sensitivity to each other`s concerns and interests; continuing to maintain a climate of peace, stability and tranquility in our relations; and, seizing the opportunities for bilateral cooperation and international partnership. 

The two leaders Mr Modi and Mr  Xi have the opportunity to craft a new kind of relationship between great powers that is very different from the Western-dominated, post-World War Two model of great power ties. For enhancing and further strengthening bilateral relations, mutual sensitivity should be there for each other’s concerns and aspirations, following the principle of mutual and equal security, seeking closer developmental partnership and enhancing people-to-people exchanges to create better understanding. looking forward to deepening our engagement across the full spectrum of our bilateral relations, but also seeking progress on issues of concern, because resolution of these issues will transform the atmosphere in our relations and allow us to realize the full potential of our relations.

Business ties between India and China may be growing fast, but relations between the two rising powers are also defined by competition for energy and regional clout, as well as a festering border dispute that led to a brief war 52 years ago. China and India, as two big neighbours, as two big markets and as two of the world's major civilizations should unite for even closer cooperation so that together we can usher in a new path of growth and development for Asia in the 21st Century. Need for greater cooperation in key areas, the time has come for China and India to seek joint development and prosperity so that together both the countries could contribute to peace and prosperity of the humanity.

It remains to be seen, however, whether Modi and Xi can together summon the vision and statesmanship needed to grab the opportunity.

In a little more than 100 days since he came to power, Modi has engaged in what his government describes as "an intensive state of global engagement", reaching out to smaller neighbours and clasping Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in a bear hug on his first major trip outside South Asia.

Avoid Plastic and Save Environment

Avoid Plastic and Save Environment Plastic is like a common commodity which is essential in our daily lives. Bakelite, nylon and rubber are some examples of synthetic plastics. Almost everything is made of plastic! They are very convenient to use because of their malleability and plasticity. They can be easily moulded by heating. Plastic product may be non-toxic, but some small amounts of the chemicals remain trapped in the product. As a result, when these plastics come in contact with food stuffs, the chemicals mix with the food which we subsequently consume. Plastics are non-biodegradable solids. When we burnt, they release some toxic fumes which cause ozone depletion and pollution; many chemicals are released into the air as well as into water. All these bear hazardous environmental consequences. Plastics are made of crude oil and can be used as fuel. One litter of hydrocarbon is produced from one kilogram of plastic waste. Over 1 trillion plastic bags are used every year w

Sustaining Renewable Energy

Sustaining Renewable Energy By Dr Arvind Kumar T he success, thus far, of fossil fuels in meeting energy demand any time required has led to a belief that whatever we want we can always have whenever we want it. This of course is leading to problems as it patently can no longer be maintained. It also has lead to the development of quite unrealistic expectations as to how far renewables can replace fossil fuels. Renewable energy is being tagged on to a massive existing demand led fossil fuelled energy system that has historically recorded tremendous growth. Efforts at demand reduction and increased efficiency have seemingly resulted in slight savings and these are often deferred by people opting for higher comfort levels. Viewed in a broad spectrum, almost all the renewable technology presently installed has only made us 96% fossil fuel dependent rather than 100%! This is a cause of worry as to the very extreme degree of energy descent that may be experienced as we move further in
