Since then, water has been an influential element of human’s social lives. Ghats, Kunds, Wells, Baolis, Pokhars, Ponds, Handpumps, Wetlands are the cultural and social identities of society. articulating the eternal relationship of water and humans.

Globalisation and Re-Globalisation: Emerging Roles of a Global Financial Centre
Abstract
Global Financial Centres (GFCs) have been viewed as distinct forces for the international capital markets to provide innovative financial services to facilitate economic development and wealth creation around the world. Over the past decades, these GFCs have been adopting similar in terms of regulatory standards and approaches. GFCs have continued to reinvent to justify their roles through “innovations” that at times could lead to unprecedented financial risks and even crises across the borders, such as the more recent fintech fiascos. This exploratory paper aims to articulate the escalated international interests in green finance as a legitimate initiative for global sustainability among the GFCs’ under the emergence of the world’s post-COVIC 19 era. Some critical analyses are enunciated with reference to the trajectory of past global financial crises in seeking opportune capital returns contrary to sustainability.
