India has tumbled seven places in the Global Peace Index — a ranking of the most peaceful nations of the world — thanks largely to the increase in the number of deaths from organized conflicts. The 2010 ranking of 149 nations places India at 128.

New Zealand tops the index as the most peaceful country and war-ravaged Iraq — no surprises here — has earned the distinction as the least peaceful nation and is kept company at the bottom of the list by Somlia, Afghanistan, Sudan and Pakistan.

The fourth annual GPI has been compiled by Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), a global thinktank that looks at the the relationship between economic development, business and peace.
