Sir,
With decadence of moral values, the old people find themselves at the receiving end. The elders find it hard to pass evenings of their life comfortably and with dignity. Disintegration of joint family system has left no choice for the oldies but to seek refuge in Old Age Homes. Not only the families where they are often badly treated and taken as a burden, even on bank counters, they are seen in queues with trembling legs. Absence of morality and human values make everyone non-bothersome for such unfortunates, stand torn with the age.
The oldies deserve consoling and sympathetic behaviour at all times. A phenamenon needs to the generated by cultivation of moral and social values, wherein arising above self-interest, caste colour and creed oldies are helped where needed. Stories like Sarwana who had carried his parents on shoulders to the places of pilgrimage. Many centuries back, can definitely enthuse our youngesters to be loyal and obedient towards them. Religious and moral principles can only emancipate these age-torn oldies from old age troubles and disrespect.
Yours etc…
