This is nice information. Apparently, most peaceful are the small countries consisting of one ethnic race only and free from intervention of super powers.

Quite expected. Some recent surveys tell, Kerala as the most peaceful state in India. What else you expect then, from the rest of the states, and therefore, the nation as such !

The level of violence we have been witnessing these days throughout the country is very disturbing.One or two states might be a few islands of peace.
