Today, 21 September is the International Day of Peace or the World Peace Day. This day is dedicated to provide an opportunity for individuals, social groups, governments and organisations to practice acts that promote peace.
The United Nations observes International Day of Peace every year as a global call for ceasefire and non-violence. It is devoted to peace, or specifically the absence of war, such as might be occasioned by a temporary ceasefire in a combat zone. The theme of this year’s International Day of Peace is “Youth, Peace and Development”, which would mean that peace is equal to future. With the soaring incidences of war, violence and terrorist activities, the day has an immense significance in the current world scenario.
As youngsters the onus is on us to carry forward the spirit of peace. As Indians the moral responsibility rests on us to carry forward the idea of non-violence, the great ideal offered to this world by the Father of our Nation.
