Though VHEMT is a global ideology, India is a country that needs it the most. Unlike China which has adopted an involuntary method of keeping its numbers in check, VHEMT proposes voluntary measures which does not infringe on anyone’s individual rights. But adopting a voluntary phasing out is difficult and to spread such an ideology is a tedious task.
I have done my best to reach out to the urban educated youth and have gotten a good response. That is comparatively effortless due to their basic education which provides a smooth chain of logic and reasoning. But what about those who are uneducated and who lack the basic understanding that breeding at this point of time cannot be justified? What about those too backward to understand that irresponsible breeding has caused an irreversible damage to our biosphere? How can we unbrainwash them from the centuries of false teachings of religious leaders with vested interests who preach to breed just to increase their flock?
That is the challenge. Can anyone suggest how to go about educating such masses? Any ideas are welcome.
