Context & shortfalls

India has historically been among the top three UN peacekeeping troop contributors globally. As of late 2024, India ranks among the top 10 troop contributors. The number has declined from a peak as India recalibrated deployment priorities. Indian troops have served in Congo, Lebanon, South Sudan, and other missions. India lost 175 peacekeepers in service as of 2024 — the highest sacrifice among contributing nations.
