Our country strongly believes in participating rather than winning.This shows up in all the international initiatives that we undertake. We are made that way is all that we can say. We have the NAM but that doesn't get us anywhere.We have the G-77 but this too is a non starter. Our country has the second largest population in the world and this gets us nowhere.We have a plural,secular democracy, an old but vibrant civilization but this is of no avail. We mean no harm or evil to anyone anytime anywhere, this does not mean a thing.We have a microcosm of the very UN that we seek to represent and this too is of no avail. We pay our dues to the UN, we send peacekeeping forces in troubled areas and payback our loans to the International Body and yet we count for nothing. We have no pulling power within the UN, we stand with the poorest and tiniest of the countries. Is there anything worse than to be ignored in places that matter. Do we still wish to be a member of such a gathering Its time to take a hard look at what is our international personality.
