India’s role in global peace and security is rooted in its historic values of non-violence, peaceful coexistence, and multilateralism. As a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), India has consistently advocated for peaceful conflict resolution, promoting diplomatic engagement over military action. Its commitment to peace is evident in its UN Peacekeeping contributions, where India has deployed over 250,000 troops across conflict zones, including Congo, Sudan, and Lebanon, making it one of the largest contributors. India also plays a key role in disarmament efforts, maintaining a "No First Use" nuclear policy and supporting the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) and Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty (FMCT) to ensure responsible use of nuclear weapons. In the fight against terrorism, India has been vocal about the need for a Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT) and actively collaborates with global bodies like FATF to counter terror financing. Regionally, India promotes stability through its leadership in SAARC, Act East Policy, and Indo-Pacific Strategy, ensuring security in South Asia and maritime peace in the Indian Ocean. Beyond traditional security, India addresses human security by leading climate action through the International Solar Alliance (ISA) and disaster relief efforts. India's participation in global forums like the UNSC, G20, BRICS, and SCO highlights its diplomatic efforts to address emerging security challenges. Despite challenges from border conflicts, regional instability, and geopolitical tensions, India remains committed to multilateralism, sustainable development, and global governance reforms. By advocating for dialogue, diplomacy, and international cooperation, India continues to solidify its role as a responsible and influential global leader in promoting peace and security worldwide.
