Everyone in the world speaks about peace and few talks about tranquility. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi showed recently to the world how to achieve peace by working out Yoga. On International level he received unlimited praiseworthy notes. From the very beginning India was forefront in cultural activities, spiritualism and Vasudhaiv -Kutumbakam. These three pillars are still standing in a different form on this earth to secure the humanity and peace. In many chapters of history it has been seen some vast and miracle changes which appeared as a drastic change for the world. As the great worrier Ashoka who fought kalinga war and that war changed his entire life. His mind was completely changed after seeing bloodshed in the battle field in a huge quantity. No doubt, he must have fought number of battles during his life but this war became as a milestone for his personal life and he showed the world a path and door of Buddhism. He headed towards Buddhism to promote in Eastern and southern part of the world. Later his daughter Sanghamitra walked on same path to expand Budhhism in the world.

Peace has different meaning to different people. A person loves traveling and feels peace during his journey. In same manner those who love food, will get peace by exploring various varieties of food; it could be spicy, salty or sweet dish. A person loves painting and when the person paints something on his canvas it appears more beautifully than his imagination; it will give him a feeling of peace there. A businessman gets a relief when he earns more profit at the end of the year. A fighter fights and when he wins the battle on ground happiness comes in a form of peace.  There are several other examples comes everyday which gives us little relief or peace for a short time or rather for a little longer. It has been found and seen that there are people in the world who hates silent. They want happening life all the time. Silence gives them a kind of horror feeling to them. But philosophers, scientists and great leaders/ achievers welcomes silence in their life for sometime to gain strength physically and mentally.

Worlds every nation talks about peace for their country for humanity. But, before independence and after independence has India achieved or any nation could talk about it? The answer would be –No. Why? What is the reason behind? Let’s try to figure it out.

India carries a peace loving nature within himself. India is surrounded by number of countries as China, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and Pakistan. After independence, it has been seen and still Kashmir issue has not been resolved by our governments. On the other hand China boarder issue creates panic situation most of the time. History has evidence that how 1962 war has been fought and later a slogan was very popular- “Hindi- Chini - Bhai- Bhai”. On same track Indo- Pak relation is still under observation. Historic war stories are evidence in front of the world that how a part of a land created jealous feeling and egoism along with it gave a birth to terrorism which is unwanted child of any parent. Terrorism has gown up so fast across the world that no body could have even thought that this unwanted child will create a new black book against his name. Owing to China and Tibet major land issue created an emergency situation for Dalai Lama and his disciples to run away from their land and they took finally a shelter at India. Since then Tibet exile parliament has been situated in Dharamsala. In a world map there are more troublesome issues like Middle-East peace matter. Where killing and blast comes in daily routine like. These days the terror came with a new mask called ISIS .These people are playing and inventing new terror game everyday to break down humanity, peace, and patience of every soul. Killing a mass on world basis seems like humanity is dead; only shadow is remaining on this earth. There are groups across the world and nation working on a various platforms to get their desired destinations whether they are Maoists or terrorists. Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand these two states receive encounters abruptly. In eastern part of India Maoists network is stronger than any other group. People of West Bengal, Assam, Manipur can be seen under haunted situation most of the time.

Jesus, Mahavir swami, Guatam Budhha, Socrate, Aristotle ,Swami Vivekanand, Gurunank and Mahatma Gandhi every guru and philosopher spread the knowledge of peace.  But peace needs lots of sacrifices, co ordination, mutual understandings, unity and compassion for others. On international platform it’s a tough job but nationwide it may decrease some distance towards peace. UN took initiatives to maintain peace and harmony worldwide. People like Mother Teresa, Malala and Kailash Satyarthi came few steps ahead to educate and nurture our next generation. Therefore world may get another Swami Vivekanand or one more Mother Teresa in future from one corner of the world.

Peace comes through patience. Patience is another national trait. India has traditionally given importance to the United Nations’ peacekeeping operations.  Indian troops have participated in some of the most difficult UN peacekeeping operations. The country has been at the forefront of these activities, contributing to the maintenance of international peace and security in different parts of the world. India’s involvement and pro-active participation to maintain law and order and bringing back peace to that nation was highly appreciated and India’s professional competence and humanitarian attitude has won global admiration. Nations have, since a long time used demonstration of military capabilities and threats of use of force as instruments to boost negotiating leverage with other states or nations. Operation cactus, operation Pawan, operation Vijay and operation Khurki are the milestones in the world history, where India took initiative individually and as UN peacekeeping force to respect for human rights, ameliorating the group of the sick, poor and oppressed.  These are the activities of our nation towards neighboring countries which own the hearts and minds of the local people and received peace loving nation fame.

Deployment of peace is a sensible issue and most importantly on humanitarian background it’s a speechless smile for every peace loving heart. Peace means a faith on country’s law and order which protects a person inner tranquility and strength of willpower. Now, it’s a time to consider respectable issues on every level. Every statesman should think on these issues rather their own profit or gain. World is a global village now. Every section and sector is working on global platform. Consideration of discrimination, partiality and maintaining peace across the world should be the target to achieve worldwide.
