India has always been mentioned as the country of the most peaceful people. Outsiders attacked and conquered it several times. The peaceful and calm life of the lakhs of villages were the real base of the nation.

But it seems every thing has changed. According to the Global Peace Index, a study on the global levels peacefulness, India is ranking 141 among 162 nations in the world. Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka are all above India, but Pakistan and Afghanistan are at 157 and 162, below India.

Maoist violence, communal carnage, sexual assaults, road rage, terrorist attacks, political murders etc. have been on the increase in India. Many countries have started advising their citizens about risks in touring India.

It is most important that this dangerous situation needs to be changed for the better. How to do it and what actions are required is the moot point.
