Googled the word peace and pleasantly surprised to see this.
Google could find peace in just 650 milliseconds. 😄
Coming to the the meaning of it. Freedom from disturbance, tranquility and the apt usage example
"Just wanted to drink a few beers in peace"
Well who wants peace any way (except the ones above). Looking no farther lets see the situation inside. The separatist thriving on inequalities in society in forested states. The solution, if it brings development and peace, would not be accepted or implemented as that would address the root cause of the issue and the livelihood of stake holders would be lost.
Looking at our borders, who wants peace there either. The premise of the polity is based on constant friction and clouds of war. Country in which the army is ready to cease any opportunity to grab power directly or to wield power from back seat. The threat of war is the life line.
Just imagine a scenario where the two countries are strategic partners say as in case of
US and the UK.
Basically same people. Colonized a new continent and then had it to themselves to form a nation. Like wise our two nations, same people divided strategically to suit every ones lust.("Everyone" is not limited to Indian and Pakistani people and includes many other dark minds of the time, of division)
Getting back to the scenario. These two partners are a threat to all stake holders. Immediate neighbor to the east, a weapon suppliers in the north and the west as well. They have played the game of chess for too long now. Keep tilting the balance to one side or other as per needs of strategy or there export economy. What happens if these two stop fighting, no one gains out of it.
What happens to those separatist in kashmir and there war cry "plebiscite"(i understand even they don,t want it to actually happen, after all it is there bread n butter, gives them relevance and defines them.). The so called main stream politicians of valley are no different in there business model.
With so much and so many stake holders betting on the opposite of peace, there would be none.
Pakistan imploding in its dept, weak democracy and inability to give a way of life to its people, is the biggest threat to India and the World. There may be Taliban like Goverment in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They would most probably consolidate most of the the two countries in one nation of there own or worse, small patches controlled by warring factions( Look at Yemen, Syria Et all). Some may cede to world powers of there choice(read china) and the chaos and bloodbath that would ensue. And some of those warring factions would wield nuclear weapons as well.
Imagine Scandinavians having direct border with somalia/yemen/venenzuela etc. Is there a possibility of peace with such disparity across the border?
I believe we should focus on rebuilding and stabilizing Pakistan. The Pakistanis may snub us for how prosperous and developed there society is viz a viz the chaos and differences in name of casteism in India. We may fight over who has the most literate population or who wins most medals in olympics. This fight may well qualify for a verison of peace.
We would fight to eternity, after all who wants one. Peace
