Why are Indians so intolerant and angry?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Real spirituality transcends both tolerance and intolerance, embracing authenticity and meeting the new with intelligence rather than borrowed beliefs."
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.
Why this matters practically
- See anger as fear-in-disguise to respond with awareness instead of reaction.
- Question borrowed beliefs; choose authenticity and openness to the new.
- Swap slogans of ‘tolerance’ for understanding and honest dialogue.
