The paeans are oblivion. The teaching of sagacious and shrewd sages has been forgotten. The old day have been eliminated and eradicated and the old teaching have been sent to recycle bin and have been detached  and eradicated from the memory. You all would be thinking- About whom I am talking about. I am talking about the stunning consequences of a study conducted by HelpAge India on abuse of India's elderly which have defamed and tarnished the image of world's oldest and biggest civilization. 

 The study was conducted in 20 cities involving 5000  older people to be presented to Honorable President Mr. Pranab Mukherjee on October 1, which is celeberated as the International Day of older person, but the results have jolted the whole nation. The figures that have come out of darkness are horrifying.

Here are the results.

   Delhi, the capital of India has seen a substantial and hike in abuse of elderly from 12% in 2011 to 29.8%  in 2012. Madhya Pradesh was at the zenith and pinnacle exceeding all the expectations and crossing every hindrance in its path with a humongous and immense 77.12%, while Rajasthan, maintaining the dignity of the nation and our teaching was at nadir with only 01.67% elderly abuse. Wait! the results are not over. About 30%people ware abused in Maharashtra, and 60% in Assam, 27.56% in Tamil Nadu, 52% in Uttar Pradesh, about 43% in Guarat, 42.86% in Andhra Pradesh(AP) and 40.93% in West Bengal.
 The study also aver that in 56% cases registered in different NGOs, Police and other  organizations, son was the primary abuser and in 23% cases, daughter-in-law has been found culprit of abusing the respected elderly people.  
    Nearly 7.5% of India's contemporary population comprises of people above the age of 60 years and these are the people who have been adversely affected by the young generation of India. In the capital in 60% cases registered, in 60% cases, son has been reported as the primary abuser and daughter-in-law in 26% cases. But sorry the last two lines are incomplete. This happened because in Delhi 76% of those old people abused didn't report the matter to the concerned authorities for their so-called fame in the society and fearing that this fame will be demolished due to their reporting of the matter, while in the list of people abused, 35% face the impertinent behavior daily and 69% feel disrespected.

Nowadays, the person who taught us how to stand on one's feet, taught us how to walk, read, write and do everything and sans whom we would have been unable to do even the slightest thing of our life, the person who gave us shelter and refuge in his/her shade is now deprived of the love and affection that he dreamt that his child would give him and has been abused and treated in a very harsh manner that is inexplicable. And pals, this is a very sensitive method on which we never ponder about in our life but this thing needs our attention and we have a need to do something. Old people are not safe anywhere in these world. If they go outside, there is a peril that goons and some unethical people will do something bad to them due to their fragility and in their home, there is the biggest danger-- Their beloved son and Daughter-in-law.
 Mothers always dream of giving birth to a son, who will take car of them in their old age and will make them proud in the society, but now the outcomes of their thinking and ideology are coming out of the black and now the world is bearing the fruit of parents this type of mean thinking. In all India level and in state level, the son has outnumbered and outshone girls in being chosen as the culprit of abusing in most cases.
 Now, lets move onto the conclusion. Parent Abuse or Elderly Abuse can be curbed by only on method. That method is developing a strong and robust relationship with your child and parents and  I am hundred percent sure that this will work.

                    Jai HIND, JAI BHARAT AND JAI MA BHARTI.
                             JAI BHARAT KI.
