India, which is among the largest contributors of personnel for United Nations’ peacekeeping missions, has incurred a heavy cost in terms of human lives in the course of its operations. In 2013, it lost seven of its soldiers – the second highest number of fatalities of any troop contributing country.
A fifth of all UN peacekeeping fatalities last year were from India. All seven deaths came in the course of peacekeeping operations in South Sudan; five of them in an ambush in Jonglei state in April and two when a base of the UN Mission in South Sudan came under rebel attack. In over 60 years of participation in UN peacekeeping missions, India has suffered 154 fatalities – the highest for any country.
