WHY INDIA NEEDS VIPASSANA What India needs A complete reconstruction of the moral, religious (?), social, educational, political and economic fabric. Root Cause of the Problem Every one feels threatened by others, and in the rat race wants to climb on top of others and get ahead, by any means and at any cost. The perceived threat causes misery, hypertension, greed, jealousy, hatred and lack of concern for others. The solution lies in removing this state of mind and bringing tranquility and goodwill for others. Vipassana is the only hope. This kind of reconstruction cannot be done by armed revolutions: we have seen that armed revolutions have replaced old tyrants by new ones but not changed anything fundamentally.
