India, once a peaceful nation is not so peaceful. According to the published report based on the survey of 153 nations by Global Peace Index, India is ranking 135. India is just ahead of not so peaceful countries like Pakistan (ranked 146) and Afghanistan (ranked 150).
Topping the chart is Iceland as the world’s most peaceful nation replacing New Zealand. Somalia is in the bottom list as the most dangerous nation replacing Iraq.
According to Steve Killelea, founder of the Global Peace Index, increasing perception of criminality in society is the main reason for the fall in rank of India from last year 128 to 135 this year.
India which has never invaded any country in last 1000 years but it is being invaded by the neighboring countries and by its own people, including the saviors of the nation. The new ranking is dangerous for Tourism based industries of India. It will repel the tourists from visiting India and will affect the economic growth of India.
With this new rating there will be a question in everybody minds- Is India not a peaceful place to live in? India has to improve this Image and should strongly face the terrorism from across the border and eliminate the corruption within the society and the politics.
