Are you from the UK? If so, then that's not the right cord to use.

The metal strips at the top and bottom of the plug are ground.

No,India.The plugs here seem to be a mix of european and british plugs.The pins are round and there is a pin on the plug for ground.

Why can't there be a standard plug for 220v and 110v....

They are called Schuko, and not every european country uses them. Italy and Denmark doesn't.

Happy Danish outlet :)
