What makes India less peaceful than 142 other countries
India has been relegated to the 143rd place in the 2015 Global Peace Index, down from 140 in 2014.
The number of internal conflicts and possession of nuclear and heavy
weapons are among the parameters that have weighed heavily in pulling
down India's ranking in the 2015 Global Peace Index to the 143rd
position among 162 nations ranked.
The Index, which incorporates a number of parameters to measure the
"texture of peace", is brought out annually by the Institute of
Economics and Peace.
It "is a composite index comprised of 23 qualitative and quantitative
indicators that gauge the level of peace in 162 countries. These
indicators can be grouped into three broad themes: the level of safety
and security in a society, the number of international and domestic
conflicts and the degree of militarization." The scores for India on
these 3 counts are 2.4, 2.8 and 2.3 respectively out of 5 each.
The 2015 report says that Middle East and North Africa has overtaken
South Asia as the most violent region in the world compared the previous
year.
India scores poorly in terms of the conflict factor, which takes into
account the number and duration of conflicts fought within a country
(the lower the score the better the position). This includes civil,
interstate, one-sided and non-state conflicts. The other parameter has
to do with the number of nuclear and heavy weapons a country possesses.
