THE THEME The world longs for peace. Peace is achievable, yet, in today’s scenario, it seems elusive. Why? Have we become so inefficient that we humans cannot have peace? Is it such a distant dream? What is peace? Peace is NOT a mere absence of war. It is something positive. It is the presence of contentment, prosperity, happiness etc.. An in-depth understanding of peace is what is essential today and hence this endeavour by us: The search for peace.
