'Exercises in Peace Education' (2018) is a resource manual consisting of a series of lesson plans for educators of South Asia for promoting peace and nonviolence among young people from ages 5 to 17. Through experiential and participatory learning, they are encouraged to develop their knowledge, attitudes and skills in order to become peace-filled persons and proactive peacebuilders. The lessons raise awareness, provoke thinking, challenge stereotypes, point to solutions and incite to action. To be relevant to all South Asians without distinction, an attempt has been made to sustain a multi-ethnic, pluri-cultural and inter-religious viewpoint.

This paper makes the case for a revival of Peace Education in India today. It begins with a presentation of the key concepts of Johan Galtung’s peace theory and throws light on the pioneering role played by Indian saints and reformers in promoting personal and socio-political peace on a global scale. The reader is then acquainted with reliable national and international surveys on peace in India in recent years, as well as with the disconcerting rise in violence on many fronts with grave consequences for the future of India’s children. As a response, the author argues for the urgency of peace education in schools and non-formal educational settings. To avoid any further delay, he proposes that 'Exercises in Peace Education' (2018), a free online and updated version of the ready-to-use 2003 manual tailored for South Asian youth from ages 5 to 17, be put to good use once again.
