A thoughtful look at the realities of aging in India.

The author constructively writes: "Maybe it is also time to stop expecting everything from the government and popularize the concept of volunteer work and harness the resources of a neighborhood to get some services in place. Students in their holidays could perhaps teach the older generation the use of computers, and who is better placed than neighbors to keep an eye on the safety of the seniors."

We all should strive to look after one another, especially our vulnerable ones.

absolutely true...70% of the population are in their 20s... prosperity, freedom, youth, life, clubs, shopping, multi national companies and shopping chains...there is no one to even think about the elderly in India today!
bad state of affairs! voluntary help? good suggestion, but tough to practice!!!
