The World has emerged from the primeval civilizations that included the blend of numerous wars, multiple contracts and uncounted treaties. But one thing that remains perennial is after all the wars; there had been talks to stop the misogyny and violence caused throughout. To go by the world that we live in, many wars have been given up and also met with at times and followed numerous iron outs too.
Peaceful world is the concept of an ideal state of Happiness, Freedom and Peace within and among all the people and nation in the world. The maintenance of peace can only lay the foundation of the world order. The object of the world peace comes up and originates through the very principle of nonviolence which acts as a motivation to the world community and the world citizens to willingly cooperate, exist and grow up to create peaceful future generations and communities. It is though critical respect that every living creature and the entire Nation can easily find common speech with each other with words of respect and love which will lead to numerous wars throughout the development of human civilizations and formation of various states.
The positive feeling of humanity is traced via smiles exchanged amongst the people around despite their feelings and state of mind so that they can cheer them up. We can melt even the coldest hearts this way. To tell us the meaning of something like that we have International Day of Living Together in Peace, World Peace Day etc. Various religious and secular organizations have stated aim of achieving world peace through addressing Human Rights. In this regard Buddhism believes that the world peace can only be achieved if we first establish peace within our minds.
Hinduism has adopted an ancient Sanskrit phrase "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" which translates ‘The World is One Family'. Islam, Judaism, Jainism, Sikhism and almost all the religions and their holy books possess “ahimsa” which is avoidance of violence as the central concept. However, the antithetic lines of these concepts come from their preachers and so-called saints with double personality and roles in the society. The most vehement and prodigious wars of the central Asian nations, the Southeast Asian nations are the resemblance of the misuse of religious teachings into the misogyny based dogmas that resulted for the loss of millions of lives.
But in these periods of wars undergoing amidst development of human civilization, the great saints like Buddha Kabir Mandela, Gandhi, Ambedkar proved ethereal and blessing in disguise. The teachings and preaching of these great saints to keep alive the concept of Ahimsa, Non-Violence, Dharma, Equality, Fraternity and Brotherhood played the vital role. Acceptance of human beings the way they are because differences make us fight each other’s while similarities lead to a peaceful world. Gender equal societies are far more peaceful than patriarchal societies. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated a connection between gender equality and peace. More gender equal societies are less likely to experience civil wars and are more likely to support International institutions and deliver sustainable peace.
International organizations like International Court of Justice (ICJ), United Nation Organization (UNO), Human Rights Commission (HRC), International Monetary Fund (IMF), UNICEF, WHO etc have played important role for the unification of Ideas levied under the roof of talks and discussions. The world nations and their governments have a legal obligation to not use force against each other. This obligation is written in the charter of the United Nation. There are only two exceptions in this regard, Self defense and operation authorized by UN Security Council. Human Rights Commission and its acceptance with vigilance in all the nations of the world have proved the way for an intensely peaceful society and establishment of interior peace of the Nations. The economic developments led by globalization and the overall growth of the world countries have made the disparities narrower at margins. The world community, bilateral relations, establishment of various democracies, laws and policies of the governments with orientation of welfare society and welfare schemes has been the wayfarers to the Peaceful world and have added peak to the mountains.
With the time and being, the threat over the world peace has also made threatening changes contradictory to the remarkable changes in development of the world civilization. The words like "terrorism", "economic war", "cold war" etc have loomed the world societies for past decades. The interior disturbances are based on discrimination, racial disparity, minority appeasement, distinction on the basis of caste, religion, misogyny with women have led to Civil war in many countries. The over radicalization policies and violation of human rights by the self esteemed pro-extremist policymakers and governments have made the societies prone to violence and discomfort among the people. The increase in the number of criminal cases and failure of state machineries, riots and corruptions have in recent times made the countries down on knees. These atrocious elements have even given rise to cross country and cross-border international benefit oriented spectrums and waves used as ammunition by the amity-enmity Complex. The birth of new terrorist organizations like ISIS, the countries making alliances aiming to malice and demolish the power of an enemy Nation has emerged as new kinds of threats to the world peace. Economic trade wars have made the world more chaotic and disturbed the stability and peace structure. Poverty, hunger sufferings, deprivations continue as loom factors to a peaceful society and have all contributed to disturbing the stability of world peace.
Various philosophers, sociologists, politicians, psychologists and bureaucrats have come up with many such options for establishment of the more peaceful world. But none of the popular formulae brought the expected results- small conflict and bloody wars still prevail in the world and the world community. Most of the nations have done nothing global to minimize the risks of War and improve communication between different nations. Economic race has filled the world community with self esteemed interests and self oriented profits that's has given a bit to the natural alliances of even the countries which used to associate themselves on the rudiment lines of ancient cultures and civilizations. The idea of the world community has to be integrated of new theories of development of movements, conferences that stand for the worldwide peace and mutual sustainable development.
No matter how we use the official English dictionary to define the term "Peace", but what we need to know is the importance of this quality. The primary step on the way to understanding the true meaning of this word is to start reading the teachings of Mahatma, Ambedkar, Mandela, Martin Luther, and Abraham Lincoln and to endure the natural essence of ahimsa and peace which is the mutual concept of all religions. The devil and monstrous socio-paths such as offering war, violence, injustice, famine and other disasters have to be abandoned. What we can do is to strive to treat each other with love and respect and the world level and follow the verse of the Sanskrit phrase "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam"- 'The whole world is one family' with respect, love and co-existence.

I can't agree more with the central concept of this article, and as well as the definition of peace or ahimsa given in this well written article.
