Produced by the Institute for Economics and Peace, the Global Peace Index measures a country’s peacefulness in a year. A country is rated on its ongoing domestic and international conflict, safe and security in society as well as militarization. Countries are coded on a scale of 1-5, where 5 means the least peaceful. So which are the most peaceful and the least peaceful nations? And where does India stand?
Of the 158 countries ranked, India comes in at number 142 which, needless to say, is dismal.
India’s Perceived criminality in society is rated a number 5, indicating criminal activities within the community.
Conflicts fought is another indicator India fared terrible on. “Conflict” here means an “incompatibility” between the govt/state and the public resulting in a loss of at least 25 lives.
Access to weapons, Political terror, Terrorist acts, Military capability are the other areas where India was rated a 5.
Of the 23 indicators, India has scored well on 8. So where did India score good? Jailed population is one of them. It seems India’s prison population is in proportion to the national population.
Last year India was ranked 136 out of 153 countries by the GPI.
India has something to cheer about. Troubled neighbor Pakistan is ranked number 149, seven places below India.
