In general, peace describes a society or a relationship that is operating harmoniously and without violent conflict. Trade and commerce, which is an integral part of modern civilization and is essential for livelihood of common people, can progress only when there is no fear. In the words of Dr. R. N. Tagore
“Where the mind is without fear and head is held high,
Where the world has not broken up by narraow domestic walls….”
The abovementioned lines clearly depict a picture of peace. The common and basic needs of people viz. food, clothing and shelter can be fulfilled only when peace prevails. Our country India has been a worshipper of peace and non violence since the time long.Peace is commonly understood as the absence of hostility, or the existence of healthy or newly healed interpersonal or international relationships, safety in matters of social or economic welfare, the acknowledgment of equality, and fairness in political relationships. In international relations, peacetime is the absence of any war or conflict.
The time has come to look into the peace perspectives not from the view of a nationhood rather it should be take into the consideration the whole humanity. I mean to say that while dealing with international peace problem e.g. Terrorism, Naxalism, insurgency and religion fundamentalism, the interests of humanity as a whole (whole world) should be taken into consideration.
Patriotism is good but humanity and brotherhood is far better. No country should promote terrorism or spread venom against other country on the shake of patriotism or religious fundamentalism.
Even within country people indulge into violence stating that they are not getting their full rights. It should be promoted that people should take care of other’s rights too while demanding their own. They should not interfere with the rights of others. Because an eye for an eye is making the whole world blind. Naxalism and Maosim which is claiming lives of thousands of innocent people every year in India is a result of this. Peace is a necessary condition for a nation and society to develop and prosper. Peace in the home country as well at international level is must for the mankind to prosper.
Our neighbouring country Nepal is suffering from political unstability. It has hampered the growth of the country at all levels. People’s lives have been greatly affected. It has led to the violation of human rights, murders, loot and chaos etc.
A stable government is needed. More important is a need of constitution for the new nation. The international agencies such as UN and other NGOs working may spread awareness about the new form of government and importance of constitution. Solution for new constitution may be that a council be formed to compile the constitution. Noted people from every field of life like politics, journalism technocrats, diplomats etc of Nepal and a team of unbiased and fair people from United Nation should included in the council. Role of youth is utmost important. Youth leaders should be there to represent the future Nepal. While framing the constitution, care should be taken to consider the interests of people from all walks of life. As per the present situation in Nepal, it is highly recommended that a unbiased team of intelligent people from UN should be there to guide the process and most important function of this team will be to stop the friction during the framing of constitution between Maoists and political party representatives of Nepal.
Then after framing of constitution, it will be easier for the people to choose the government through a fair election process. Also it will be easier for the present government to function in a way as to promote peace and progress of the country. Initially to enforce the constitution Nepal may need the peace keeping force to tackle the Maoists iff they are unsatisfied with the new constitution or the new government.
Thus in this way only a beautiful country of the world can be taken onto the path of peace and progress and common people of the country will be relieved and enjoy their rights..
