Maitreya Dadashreeji's "Gross Peace Index" Gains Traction at Commonwealth Summit 2026

The Commonwealth Trade and Investment Summit 2026 in London, focusing on solutions to global challenges, highlighted a novel initiative by Maitreya Dadashreeji of MaitriBodh Parivaar. Representing India, Dadashreeji proposed the "Gross Peace Index," suggesting nations be assessed by peace and societal harmony rather than purely economic indicators.

Amid current global tensions, from US-Iran issues to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Dadashreeji emphasized the need for selfless leaders dedicated to societal welfare. His vision includes purpose-driven leadership fostering unity and stability worldwide. Dadashreeji argued that true progress is built on emotional alignment and inner stability, urging a reconnection with humanity's core values.

The proposal of the Gross Peace Index has resonated, aligning with views like those of Brazil's President on India's diplomatic approach. This marks a significant call for evaluating nations through a lens of peace and trust, aiming for harmonized global partnerships.
