Why are Indians so intolerant and angry?

Real spirituality transcends both tolerance and intolerance, embracing authenticity and meeting the new with intelligence rather than borrowed beliefs.

— Osho
According to Osho, Indians appear intolerant and angry because a borrowed, so‑called religiosity represses natural energies, breeding fanaticism. 'Tolerance' itself hides intolerance. When originality challenges tradition, repressed fear flips into anger; impotence to argue erupts as rage. Real spirituality drops both tolerance and intolerance, embraces authenticity, and meets the new with intelligence rather than borrowed beliefs.

People explode in anger because they’re secretly afraid and clinging to secondhand beliefs, so anything new makes that hidden fear shout.
