In the words of author V.S. Naipaul, India is a country of a million mutinies.
Perhaps the reason why we have a million rebellions rather than just one or two is that our
democracy has endured. However, the millions of rebellions we have in India have their own toll in
terms of pain and suffering.
Economic, social, religious, and political factors all contribute to social
unrest in India. India is one of the poorest economies in the world, despite claims to have the
second-fastest growing economy globally. According to government statistics, 250 million
individuals make less than 25 US cents a day. Non-governmental studies indicate that the number
might be significantly higher. According to one research, 500 million people worldwide make less
than 25 US cents per day.
People are naturally easy targets for recruitment into extremist
movements and activities when they are in such terrible poverty and are going through a corrupt
and ineffective developmental process. The Maoist movements were described as the biggest threat
to internal security by the Indian prime minister in the past. There are occasionally media stories of
maoists executing police officers, attacking law enforcement or paramilitary units, or even attacking
unarmed civilians.
The state needs to deal with these rebels severely, according to the major
political parties. There are also suggestions for heavily employing the army against them. It goes
without saying that the main task is to engage these marginalised groups in conversation.
Problem Statement:
The primary elements of human misery are oppression, poverty, and
violence. Violence ruins optimism and casts a pall over lives all across the world, in wealthy
nations as well as isolated villages and well-known cities. Without going deeper, we cannot
possibly hope to address the issues facing today's world, including terrorism, forced migration,
transnational crime, ongoing civil wars, oppression, and state violence.
The causes of violent
conflict and instability must be addressed, including racial, gender, and other kinds of inequality;
institutional weakness; unsustainable resource exploitation; and economic and political marginalisation. An international system that does not do enough to advance the needs, voices, and
aspirations of the many rather than the interests of the few has to be changed.
Though it's extremely
difficult to maintain peace in a highly populated country like India, yet some of the problems of
statement are regarding the way of handling the maoist movements which is currently a hot topic of
discussion throughout the nation. Also, we all know that education is a very important tool to
maintain peace as post educating people, the intellect of the people shall develop and thus it will
become easier to maintain peace.
Now, the question that arises is the way to educate people of
various ages, including the remotest areas of the country. Since the prices of essential goods and
services are sky rocketing, so it's becoming nearly impossible to meet out the daily needs of the
middle-class families. Due to this, people are bound to commit wring activities like thefts,
robberies, etc, which is harming the peace gradually.
Literature Review:
In the two and a half decades after the end of the Cold War, there has
been both continuity and change in the world's conflict dynamics, as enduring causes of violence
have been layered over newly emerging ones. Some ideologies have fallen, while others have undergone a radical resurgence.
There are now more global powers. New radical movements and
authoritarianisms have also emerged. Social medias rapid expansion has fueled and resisted these
emergences alike. The components that define conflicts have fractured and grown more
complex.Women have been particularly and dramatically impacted by the evolving nature of
international conflict. Violence exacerbates and deepens gender inequality.
Women make up half of
the 59.5 million people who have been forcibly relocated around the world (19.5 million refugees,
1.8 million asylum seekers, and 38.2 million internal migrants). 3 In addition to the ideological
hostility of many extremist groups to females visiting public spaces, including educational
institutions, girls are more generally at greater risk due to sexual abuse, which is used as a tactic to
evict refugee and IDP populations.
Among other things, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development acknowledges the need to
foster inclusive and peaceful societies for sustainable development, to ensure that everyone has
access to justice, and to create inclusive, effective, and accountable institutions at all levels. The
entire 2030 Agenda offers the platform to address the underlying reasons why disputes arise and
turn violent. In order to achieve the SDGs, ECOSOCs work at the nexus of peace and development
is crucial.
Summary Of Research Methodology:
In this paper, analytical legal research was
applied, where legal analysis suggests that the case should be critically examined using the facts
and information already at hand. It critically examines all available data and facts.
Alongside, applied legal research was applied as well, where the researcher seeks to resolve the
issue in a practical way. Here, the researcher makes an effort to conduct his research in a useful
setting.
Also, qualitative legal research was applied, where it primarily addresses qualitative phenomena,
that is, phenomena pertaining to quality or characteristic. It is dependent on the justifications for
various parts of conduct.
Lastly, conceptual legal research was applied, which is associated with a speculative theory or
notion. usually employed by philosophers and other thinkers to expand upon or reframe an already
existing topic.
Findings Or Results:
Relationships with neighbours were rarely linked to either happy or
negative emotions. On the other hand, a decline in eudaimonic well-being was linked to
maintaining just minimal levels of neighbourly communication or losing touch with neighbours
over a period of time. Less felt support from neighbours was one factor that helped to explain
associations between contact and this element of well-being.
Discussions:
One of the UN's most useful tools for helping nations travel the treacherous path
from war to peace has proven to be peacekeeping. In addition to preserving peace and security,
today's multifaceted peacekeeping operations are required to support political processes, safeguard
civilians, aid in the demobilisation and reintegration of former combatants, support constitutional
processes and election organisation, protect and promote human rights, and help restore the rule of
law and legitimate state authority.
When evaluating whether there is an aggression or threat to the
peace, the Security Council is in charge. It suggests ways of adjusting the terms of settlement and
encourages parties to a conflict to settle it peacefully. The Security Council has the authority to
enact sanctions to preserve or restore international peace and security under Chapter VII of the UN
Charter. These can take the form of international military intervention or economic penalties.
The
Council also creates Special Political Missions and UN Peacekeeping Operations. The primary
decision-making, policy-making, and representative body of the UN is the General Assembly. The
General Assembly offers a forum for Member States to present their viewpoints to the full
membership and reach agreement on contentious matters through routine meetings.
Resolutions for
the General Assembly are used as suggestions. Important decisions, like those involving the
maintenance of the peace and security, the admission of new members, and fiscal issues, require a
two-thirds majority; however, most other decisions just require a simple majority. In the UN and
elsewhere, peace building should no longer be limited to post-conflict activities.
It must be the
strong thread that runs through the entire cycle of UN engagement, from preventive action to
deployment and subsequent withdrawal of peace operations, and beyond to post-conflict
rehabilitation and reconstruction. This problem is known as "sustaining peace."
The General Assembly should consider a resolution setting norms and standards for national and
international activities in sustaining peace in light of the previous recommendation. This resolution
should draw on important existing instruments and reports and take into consideration relevant
aspects of this report, the Report of the High-Level Independent Panel on Peace Operations, which was published on June 16, 2015, and the upcoming High-Level Review of the Implementation of Security Council Resolutions.
Huge emphasis should be levied by the United Nations Membership on the proposed 16th
Sustainable Goal, which focusses on the effective development, accountability, and inclusive
institutions at all levels, support peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, and
ensure that everyone has access to justice, which shall assist in the country wise and global wise
sustainable development, inclusive of all the institutions.
The elements that have been proposed for
Goal 16 and the implementation for the sustaining peace for all, should be mandatorily addressed
nation-wise and shall be reported by all the countries, including the country that has been affected
by the conflict and the country (its) which seek assistance for peace building.
To advance the liberal, pluralistic, and multicultural forms of Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity in
India, much work needs to be done.
Because coalition governments have a tougher time coming to an agreement on specific policies
than single-party governments, reform is not progressing quickly. Indias deeply ingrained
democratic culture has emphasised the government's incapacity to secure the equitable sharing of
the advantages of liberalisation, which has caused reforms to halt. In particular, the government's
capacity to make credible commitments to more extensive changes has been weakened by the
pervasiveness of corruption. Ironically, liberalisation has emphasised the presence of corruption
rather than eradicating it by pruning an invasive and unwieldy state.
Cultural resources play a significant role in our interactions with knowledge. Inequities based on
gender, race, ethnicity, religion, place of residence, nationality, status of immigration, disability,
sexual orientation, or social class of origin must be increasingly addressed in educational policy.
The erasure and exclusion of communal memories, ambitions, cultural practises, and indigenous
knowledges from education and knowledge commons require further focus. A pedagogy of
solidarity is based on teaching students how to critically evaluate existing hegemonic knowledge.
We need to learn how to unlearn.
However, there are encouraging efforts to reimagine the future now under progress. Youth-led
movements and organisations are increasingly taking a new approach to issues. The Sunrise
Movement, Fridays For The Future, and thousands of such initiatives worldwide are practise runs
for a better sort of future.
Education systems and pedagogies that begin with underprivileged rural
kids rather than expanding an urban-centric model are reviving a sense of pride in indigenous and ancestral customs in youth and adolescents in a number of Latin American and South Asian
countries. These and numerous other instances demonstrate education's ability to assist young
people in building a wide range of affluent and egalitarian futures.
Future universities, colleges, and technical institutions must make up their main mission by
teaching values like respect, empathy, equality, and solidarity. Education at the higher level must
promote ethics and help students become better, more capable citizens who are more conscious of
their civic and environmental obligations.
Additionally, higher education must be socioculturally
pertinent. Key educational goals must include an understanding of cultural variety, a dedication to
upholding human rights, and intolerance for racism, sexism, classism, ethnocentrism, and
discrimination in all of its forms.
Higher education that promotes these values and ideals extends
beyond the walls of classrooms and online environments. Its content is constantly changing because
technology gives people the power to become better versions of themselves, to advance moral
systems, and to change their surroundings.
In each of these crucial areas of study, it is crucial to keep in mind that a curriculum is never
planned with finished knowledge but rather with information that bridges generations, transmits
cultural legacy, and leaves room for revision and updating. This understanding should prompt us to
frame all of our lessons historically and to engage students in a discourse across generations that
they may contextualise and enrich with their knowledge.
More opportunities for engagement in international dialogues, work, and cultures are created
through bilingual education. Learning different languages has obvious significance in an
interdependent environment, and there are both personal and societal advantages that extend beyond
communication. We must all actively translate between various signifying systems as a result of
plurilingualism, and we must also grow more independent and sceptical of ingrained patterns of
meaning.
Languages contain perspectives on the world and distinctive methods of understanding;
they are more than just a tool for communication. The shared knowledge commons of humanity are
characterised by linguistic diversity, which education is essential to preserving.
To ensure that educational ecosystems sustain education as a public benefit, governments must play
a crucial role. As was previously argued, we require an all-hands-on-deck strategy. All teachers, all
schools, all educational initiatives, and all educational programmes must renew education as a
communal good.
It should also be remembered that a variety of state and non-state actors work
together to ensure the publicness of public education in many cases around the world. ancestral customs in youth and adolescents in a number of Latin American and South Asian

Limitations:
Lack of a shared vision for peace and long-term development, difficulty
balancing short- and long-term goals, poor strategic planning, low implementation rates, ineffective
financing methods, subpar institutional arrangements, centralised approaches, and a lack of citizen
participation are all common challenges in the processes of establishing peace and building states,
as well as in national and international support for these processes.
Following are the points:
13
Lack of Shared Vision: Even though it is seen as a top priority and a significant result of the
political process, a unified national vision for peace building rarely exists or is widely shared
throughout the nation or region. The main obstacle to peace building efforts is the lack of a
common vision for peace and development among national and international partners.
Challenge in Maintaining Short and Long Term Objectives: It is discovered that there are trade-offs
between short-term and long-term peace building goals, and that it is challenging to make decisions
that run the danger of weakening some state building goals while advancing urgent peace building
priorities, and vice versa.
Actors must make difficult decisions about whether to align their support
with the long-term political settlement or the short-term accords negotiated between the elite and
the power-sharing arrangements that first brought about peace. The decision to support weak and
ineffective government is the outcome.
Tensions also surfaced as a result of the need to provide
services rapidly in order to address urgent demands, uphold stability, and achieve longer-term goals
to increase state capacity. On the idea of "purchasing peace," it is discovered that there are
conflicting opinions (i.e. government provision of cash transfers to help internally displaced people
reintegrate into the community following the crisis).
Actors also emphasised the significance of
respect for inclusiveness in order to create long-lasting peace, even though there was universal
agreement that this was a successful short-term intervention and probably a long-term investment in
peace.
Future Research:
Geopolitical aggression and intransigence:
Intense rivalries between global and regional powers,
which encourage proxies to fight wars abroad, are extending conflicts. Examples of this include
the wars in Yemen and Syria.
The practice of rebelling conflicts as counter-terror struggles:
This propensity causes the space
required to create peace to shrink and the actors and elements that fuel conflict to be ignored. This has happened in well-known examples like Syria, as well as in Egypt, Turkey, and other
places. When authorities suppress political dissent and dissenters under the guise of
counterterrorism, this increases rather than defuses violent confrontation.
Legacies of military intervention and regime change:
Military intervention and regime change
have often failed to deliver long-lasting stability or to destroy fundamentalist organisations,
despite being justified as counterterrorism efforts, humanitarian rescue missions, or attempts to
overthrow despotic governments. While this has led to a strong mistrust of interventionism,
there are also significant hazards associated with giving up on promoting positive, nonviolent
change in the face of oppression.
Panic over forced displacement:
The effects of forced displacement are worst felt in neighbouring nations, which are doing their best to cope as desperate individuals evacuate
conflict zones. In the meantime, quick agreements are being made by Western governments to
bolster border and security forces in transit nations in attempt to secure their borders and keep
the issue out. However, this train, equip, and ignore strategy, like the Khartoum Process of the
EU, does not deal with the underlying roots of the issue.
Struggling humanitarianism:
Humanitarians undoubtedly have a difficult job. The UN and
others are working really hard to help the victims of conflict despite having little resources.
However, they are not yet adept at upholding humanitarian principles, promoting crisis
prevention, or enabling individuals impacted by humanitarian crises to take the lead. Changes
are also likely to be seen if UN Security Council members continue to bomb hospitals or target
aid convoys, either directly or through allies they support.
Conclusion:
Since sociologists adhere to the idea that every result has a cause, the problems
the UN is currently experiencing with relation to world peace, security, and development can be
resolved by locating those causes and removing them. According to the literature review, it can be
argued that the global economic system and its globalisation agenda are the primary causes of the
issues because they have created winners and losers, increased inequality between and within
countries, obscenely enriched one segment of the global family, and spread extreme poverty,
disease, environmental degradation, and conflicts to the other.
Our argument is that for the UN to
function effectively, capitalism must have a human face because, as Anan (2005) notes, the wealthy
nations must ensure that the poor nations experience real development if global peace and security
are to be achieved. This is because the UN was founded with the goal of promoting capitalist
expansion. The poor countries must be treated equally as members of the international community
by the wealthier countries, and they must receive help and grants without onerous requirements.
