The complete list of countries are given here in the order of the Global peace ranking index:

Though India is considered as a fast growing country in many fields like science and Technology, and staking its claim for a permanent membership in the UN Security Council, its global peace rank is shameful 143 with 'low state of peace'. 

According to popular opinion, there are two main reasons for India to get the bottom peace rank. 

1. India is unfortunate to have Pakistan as one of its neighbors which comes in the 'very low state of peace' with 154 rank and is a globally recognized state that 'sponsors terrorism' and 

2. The internal unrest created by some fanatic political and religious leaders in the country for their personal selfish mileages...!

Lets hope that the observance of 'Yoga' in the national level improve the 'global peace index rank' of India further and fill the hearts of all Indians with a desire for love and peace.
