Bharat should not only be part of G-10 (G-8 Plus Bharat and China) but also be a permanent member of the Security Council of the UN.
It is good that the present G-8 members realize that the group will have meaning only if two nations with over 2 billion people are part of the global deliberations.
The task before Bharat is not to gloat over the periodical photo-ops provided by G-10 summits but to work towards realizing Bharat Vision 2020 making Bharat a developed nation.
It is time to stop politicking, remove the cancer of corruption from the body politic starting with the removal of criminals from the councils of ministers not only in the centre but also in the states, to empower the villager panchayats and usher in the democratic systems which were evident in the Uttaramerur inscription of the 9th century and which are a heritage which date back to the Rigvedic times. Bharat doesnât have to learn about democracy from the G-8 but can offer the path of Hindu Dharma which is an alternative to the current tensions created by christism and Islamism, two aberrant faiths which have wrought untold miseries over centuries.
G-10 will become meaningful when Bharat regains her true swarajyam, ensures the enrichment of the villagers by providing urban facilities in the villages, by ensuring equitable distribution of water resources to all parts of the country after reclaiming Manasarovar of Free Tibet as the cultural capital of Bharat, double agricultural production in the next 5 years so that Bharat can feed the world and take the nation to the levels of prosperity and peace that are her destiny. Only Hindu Dharma can save the world ridden with factionalism and intolerant faiths based on wrong understanding of human rights. Human rights will have to be earned by human responsibilities which should be enshrined by understanding Dharma and Vrata as the guiding principles for all walks of life.

G-8 considering opening doors to India

WASHINGTON: The Group of Eight industrialised nations are considering opening doors of the elite club to include more states, including India and China, to reflect the growing importance of the two Asian economic giants.
There is "certainly a case for including countries like China and India," British Prime Minister Tony Blair said at the end of the G-8 summit held in Sea Island, Georgia, yesterday.
"We have already begun the process of outreach and I'm sure that will continue," he was quoted as saying by British newspapers.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said India and China's participation in the G-8 Conference would make much sense.
"India and China are huge countries, whose potential is growing energetically and intensively," he was quoted by Russian news agency Itar-Tass as saying.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi had said on the first day of talks that the leaders were considering inviting China and India into the G-8 fold.
"It doesn't make sense for us to talk about the economy of the future without the two countries that are protagonists on the world stage."
