(An Excerpt from an interview by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, to Rediff.com's Savera R Someshwar. The founder of the Art of Living foundation shared his dreams for a rejuvenated India. Interview published on March 12, 2013)
'It is the distress and mistrust in people which
causes them to take religion as an excuse to express their frustration and
display aggressive, violent behaviour,' says Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
A nation's most powerful weapon is the will of the
common man.
It is this will, says Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, buttressed
by action, that will draw an agenda for a better India.

If you were asked to draw up an agenda for a New India, what would your
agenda be?
·
Justice for farmers.
·
An easy working atmosphere for industrialists.
·
Creating a more tolerant and cooperative society among
all religious leaders.
·
Clean politics; people with character and humility
should be in politics.
If there were
three ills in India that you would prioritize and tackle, what would they be?
What are the
three things you would ask people to fight against and change?
·
The first is Corruption.
·
The second is Communalism.
·
The third is to get over your lethargy
and be inspired for a brighter future.
