War impoverishes all people worldwide !! And how ?
Creating violence of various kinds AND THEN attempting to contain and quell it - had cost the world $9.46 trillion in 2012 .
That’s 11% of gross world product !!
By contrast, the recent financial crisis cost just 0.5% of 2009 global output, Talia Hagerty writes on Pacific Standard.
The IEP ( international Institute of Economics & Peace ) has posited eight “PILLARS ” that support peace:
(1) a well functioning government,
(2) equitable distribution of resources,
(3) free flow of information,
(4) a sound business environment,
(5) a high level of human capital from factors such as education and health,
(6) ACCEPTANCE of the rights of others,
(7) low levels of corruption, and
(8) good relations with neighbors.
Reserach conducted by : the Institute for Economics and Peace.

Exercise -1 : Rate India on the above 8 parameters, on a 10 point scale .
Exercise - 2 : Rate ( bangaaru ) TelangaNa on the above 8 , on a 10 point scale.
Every one will have a different rating but we all must know the parameters, shouldn't we ?
