Why do we feel so small

When a big global power visits a small country like ours, we are nervous. Whenever an emissary from a super power visits us, we feel apprehensive. "What do they want from us?"---is in our minds. Tension is further increased when they want more and more trade links with us. Fair trade is never possible between unequal nations. There is the "exploited" nation and the "exploiting" nation. When those who have superior knowledge of the worth of our mineral wealth, come seeking it, we are bound to be exploited. The super power would like to take the mineral wealth at low costs from us because we do not know its actual worth. This has been repeated all through history. But we are different now, we can see easily what these powers want. And we know how to be equal partners in trade and commerce. Times have changed and we have changed with it.
Another topic that is brought up is that we must "look East" That is we must look at South-east Asia, towards our neighbours in the far East. This is told to us because the superpower does not want us to look at the Western neighbours like  Afghanistan, Iran or Iraq. There is reason to believe that super power want to club together to make a stronger team to face China. Our geo-political position puts us at equidistant with East and the West. We want to keep good relations with all. An this non-aligned position is the best. All talk talk cannot really solve anything. There is industrialization and there will be global warming which we cannot stop that. Other countries have industrialized and they want India "not to industrialize" Because we can grow bigger with industrialization and  will not remain a small power. We will grow bigger, but we will not threaten others.There is only a show of concern over global warming. Can anything be done about global warming? In the geological life of the planet, we go through global warming followed by quick setting of an ice age. It was during one ice age when early man can out of Africa and took refuge in caves. He migrated to other part of the world. When Earth's waters were frozen in the Northern and Southern poles, sea was less turbulent, and there were land passages to Indonesia and Australia. Then the global warming melted away the ice and made the seas more prominent and the land connecting the continents disappeared into the sea. We were cut off from each other. Now after the global warming, another ice age will be beginning. And between the two ice ages man has made civilizations. Will all civilizations survive another ice age? Superpowers cannot stop the coming of ice age or global warming, these are cycles of the Earth like Winter Spring, Summer or Fall..
