"Responsible Global Citizenship"

I'm a Psychology (Hons.) Graduate (University Position Holder in 1st Year) from Delhi University, India & a Post Graduate Certificate Holder in Human Rights Law, National University of Juridical Sciences, Kolkata, India. I have Experience in Non-Profits & as a Freelancer with M/S Tata Steel, India. By Profession, I'm a Writer (5 works of Fiction & 4 of Non-Fiction; also Published from Germany). Despite an arduous life journey of extreme pain and suffering leading to mobility restrictions (would need support to travel), I have been a proud recipient of the "“Best Personalities of India Award" (New Delhi, India), a nominee of the "Manthan Award" (for e-governance initiatives), the "Human Rights Hero Award" (New Delhi, India) and the prestigious "PUBLIC PEACE PRIZE” 2018, Canada as an “Artist for peace, tolerance and solidarity”. I'm someone strongly committed to my cause and someone endowed with strong leadership qualities. My accomplishments attest to this. 

1) We've living in times of unprecedented HUMANITARIAN crisis. The Covid-19 Pandemic has rattled us all, and shaken us all off our feet. If we the members of the international community refuse to relate to the gravity of the situation even at this moment, the dangerously unexpected could happen. To ensure that we are able to SOLVE THIS PANDEMIC and PREVENT OTHER POTENTIAL GLOBAL CHALLENGES LIKE INEQUALITY & CLIMATE CHANGE FROM ASSUMING CATASTROPHIC NEE PANDEMIC PROPORTIONS, WE MUST (IN THAT ORDER):

2) CHANGE OUR MINDSETS AND ADOPT A MINDSET OF POSITIVE CHANGE

3) WORK TOWARDS BUILDING UP AN ETHOS OF "RESPONSIBLE GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP" meaning, WORK TOWARDS BUILDING GREATER MORAL RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS PROTECTING AND PRESERVING THIS OUR BEAUTIFUL MOTHER EARTH

4) WORK TOWARDS "SOLVING" ONCE & FOR ALL THE GREATEST CHALLENGES OF OUR TIME: POVERTY; INEQUALITY; DEFORESTATION; WAR & CONFLICT AND GLOBAL WARMING ET AL

5) MUST STAND BY EACH OTHER.

FINDING A SOLUTION TO PANDEMICS, SUCH AS THE COVID-19 CRISIS. This is a global crisis of mammoth proportions, perhaps the largest challenge of our time. From Italy which was badly affected to several other countries in different stages of the virus, the entire world has been badly affected. Communications have come to a halt.

The virus nevertheless has more certainly led to more solidarity between peoples. I firmly believe that there is no point blaming anyone or in either vengeance or retribution but since the virus emerged out of wildlife (such as bats and pangolin), we should strongly consider banning wildlife food and drink products from the global market, even e-commerce channels, at least temporarily. 

This apart from TECHNOLOGY (telemedicine, improved sanitation facilities in low-income countries and provision of mobile sanitary lavatories) and very importantly, SPACING OF HABITAT FOR THE URBAN POOR IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD (who often are the worst sufferers when it comes to squalor, overcrowding and disease). This will not only arrest migration, but also be highly consequential in solving global issues such as inequality and GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE. 

The international community must realize that it is our moral responsibility to protect and preserve our beautiful planet.

As a concerned global citizen, I'm determined to find solutions to the ills plaguing humanity to the best I possibly could. I'm someone who's undergone plenty of pain and suffering of a debilitating disability and find it difficult traveling (especially overseas). Yet, as a writer and a "Public Peace Prize" Laureate for 2018, Canada, it is my duty to create awareness, to advocate and to sensitize people on issues.

The TARGET POPULATION I'm addressing is the POOR IN LOW-INCOME REGIONS SUCH AS INDIA, BANGLADESH AND AFRICA. In any pandemic such as COVID-19, IT IS THE POOR WHO IS MOST AFFECTED, especially daily wage laborers such as in India who are just not able to bring sufficient to the table for their families and their children to be able to eat, not able to send their children of primary school-going age to school, not able to afford health and other welfare amenities, etc. 

This is why I'd strongly and fervently RECOMMEND A COMPLETELY VIRTUAL ECONOMY EVEN A VIRTUAL SOCIAL POLITY AND SYSTEM WHEREIN THERE WILL BE HOMESCHOOLING TO VIRTUAL TERTIARY EDUCATION TO VIRTUAL HEALTH AND EVEN VIRTUAL HABITAT (AT LEAST TEMPORARILY) TO SOLVE THE HOUSING CRISIS.

It's an honor writing to you.

I've always been intrigued by how we (referring to the Paparazzi as also everyone else) remain so over consumed by our material instincts that we soemtimes tend to forget that there are more important issues crying for our attention. For instance (please do not take this otherwise), 9/11 which had the world's media on its feet was A HORRIBLE THING TO HAPPEN AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE LOSS OF INNOCENT AMERICAN (AND OTHER) CITIZENS, but have we ever thought why the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon were targeted and not the Statue of Liberty? Let's leave it at that. 

WHY DO WE SHY AWAY FROM ACCEPTING THAT A SHEER 24000 people died of hunger on September 11, 2001? 

NOT THAT THE ABOVE IS DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO MY COMING UP WITH MY IDEA, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE NOTE THAT EVEN SEEMINGLY UNRELATED GLOBAL ISSUES CAN BE A MAJOR CAUSE OF PANDEMICS SUCH AS COVID-19. 

NO ISSUE IS TO BE NEGELCTED, OR WE RISK SERIOUS GLOBAL CONSEQUENCES.

THE TRUTH IS WE AS AN INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HAVE NEVER EVER CARED, AND THE PANDEMIC IS A RESULT...

I DREAM THAT ONE DAY, IN THE LIFETIMES OF TODAY'S CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN, THERE WILL BE NO MORE HUNGER, NO MORE INEQUALITY, THAT THERE WILL BE NO MORE WAR AND/OR CONFLICT AND THAT OUR CHILDREN WILL BE "FREE" TO PLAY IN THE OPEN PLAYGROUND OF THIS BEAUTIFUL PLANET, AND NOT BE FORCED INTO CONSCRIPTION AT THEIR TENDER AGE...

PLEASE SEE MY BIO. THANK YOU!

I've undergone the extreme pain and suffering of a Disability which has restricted my Travel. And yet, I've been resilient and brave in the face of this major challenge in my life...

We were in college when we ran out of water. We the Hostellers then staged a protest against the authorities until the problem was rectified. I was a major part of the protest.
