Your attempt is an excellant one. In the coming century, new challenges are emerging. We are confronted with both old and new threats to international scarsity of many commodities especially good air and water causing security of population; resulting widespread poverty. It has to be recognized by world leaders as the most daunting of all the problems facing the world in the new century; and fundamental values of freedom, equality, solidarity, tolerance, respect for nature and shared responsibility now form common values through which achievements in all the fother categories can be realized

We must start Ganga cleanining as national movement such as harit kranti. Otherwise we will loose our mother and also our spirit. May god bless us and inspire us!

India, 100% would top the worst list of countries when it came to implementing plans. It is a National shame that even after spending a whopping 20,000 crores of the tax payer's money, Holy Ganga still remains the same. I would strongly advocate "ruthless cleaning" of the entire political system that is more polluted than the Ganga itself!! But will that happen with 200, 000 crores, only God should guide all Indians through!!!

We are making false devlopment by exploiting the nature(MOTHER). We killing cow(MOTHER) for food and using chemecal fertiliser instead of cowdong in the field so exploiting the nature. We are cutting tree(MOTHER) for more profit and more devlopment. But since we are very modern and following the western also devloped and secular so we will not say the nature as our mother. Even we are not taking care of our old parents for more devlopment then what about the nature. As a result the death itself will come as natural calamities and war(BOMB) to our home we do not have to go to slaughter house(as for cows and for other animals). Well come to Yamaraj.

Its GREAT that the Ganga is finally dying. A slow, asphyxiating death. May the bellies of the "I care a damn for this world - and what I am doing to it, as long as I get my share of profits" - lot of nonchalant people, swell with the grim satisfaction of having caused the death of a river - the identity, blood and soul of India. After all, don't we ourselves, choose to spit/ defecate/ bathe/ wash in the river we claim to be Holy? And what right have we to complain when we, as a generation (including me), choose to sit pretty in our high heeled offices and tippitty tipitty type this inconsequential blog out while checking our emails!
As if enough has not already been said - enough has not already been lamented about the sad state of this dying river!
Do we *still* need a wake up call?
Does Ganga, the river feeding India's granaries, her faith mills and her religion factories, deserve the hypocritical, phlegmatic likes of us?

Excellent write up. Yes it is an environemental hazard. Maybe these people who are right now earning profits through poluting these rivers does not realise that it may be matter of time when their grandson will read in the books that there was river called ganga and it was his grandfather who was responsible for destroying it. If we are not serious about these kind of environmental issues I think it is a shame on us. I would want to ask one question How can these issues be pushed into the heasd and hearts of the people who are doing it? Will the government sit up hear this? Maybe the politicians are busy preparing to fill their vote banks and earning for themselves. We need a revolution in this country once again. It seems that the colonial rule has come again once again in this form. Its time for our generation to do something otherwise we may have the wealth of the world but not the wealth of the nature. That will be dangerous. I think this issue needs to be dealt seriously and should come to a proper conclusion.
