Change is the only Constant ,but when it is constantly on the deterioration it needs to be addressed.
Sabhyachaar,Shishtachaar,Adar ,Satkar
(etiquette ,civility,respect,to honour )are synonyms to Our Indian way of life.These virtues are sadly fading away today.
We Indians crib a lot,but never do we introspect ‘Why’?
With the onslaught of the social media,with the world just a click away,with the comfort of being hidden behind our gadgets…we vomit!
Today ,there are no boundaries what so ever .
You are free to write whatever you please,on a public forum and that too without any consequences.
Each and every post on a public forum is filled with filth.Language used is totally incomprehensible. The lines of decency have been brutally squashed.
Debates in our times used to be solely on the topic given.Today I see abuses hurled on someone’s Mother…sisters….the filthiest of filth splashed all over ,it could be a simple bollywood post!
I do not just blame the youngsters today ,they learn from what they see.The adults lead and the young follow.
Why do you have to swear ,used bad language to put your point across ?
Is your argument so weak ?
The public posts are like treading into a neighbourhood of hooligans,where there has been no education to tell them a right from a wrong.
What you are with your friends,your age mates ,you CANNOT be with the entire world. The decorum needs to be maintained.
The chivaliry &the feminity ,the love and the respect are all the virtues of a bygone era ,or so it seems.
Girls swearing openly ,does that make you believe you are strong ?Does that make you believe you are at par with men?
Then THIS itself is the issue.What made you believe you are lesser than them in the first place ??!!
Men hurling abuses at women ,how does that make you the stronger one?It just shows the level of stupidity there.
Anyone abusing on a public platform,is such a dampner.There is a bigger threat here which we choose to either ignore or are ignorant about.
- Where does this anger come from ?
- Why are we ready to pounce at the word go?
- Why are we so judgemental ?
- Why are we so unforgiving ?
It all stems from the family values crumbling under pressures of todays world.
It stems from a NEED !
the need to be heard ,the need to be loved,the need to be acknowledged, the need to be aprreciated ,the need to be noticed & the need to be validated !
Earlier,the families that lived together,’Lived’ together.There were some check lists .The children’s activities were monitered.Everything came to you at the right time.With age comes the understanding and ability to handle things.
How many parents today keep an eye on their kids activities, their friend circle,their lifestyle and most important what n who they become on social media?The impact of this so called privacy and freedom are serious.
The innocence is gone !
The Sabhyachaar is gone !
This anger ,these outburts,this uninhabited behaviour becomes the soul of a society .And it’s getting darker by the day.
This is the India that needs to be saved.

Loved this write up totally. Respect for elders ur superior are fading everyone thinks they are best and know everything . Please keep writing
Thank you so much Rohit. The basic courtesies and manners used to be the prerequisite of a cultured society & our country was known for this. Sadly as you rightly said,we as a society are losing it.
Thanks need more young ppl to understand and share the thought.
Congratulations, Mrs. Singh,
Wonderful read. Its been a while since we had such an insightful take on empathy. Its great that you’ve brought back the old Indian values to the discussion table.
Look forward to more content.
Thank you so much Ved ! Its a humble attempt for I see so much rage all around,values are fading away …

Couldn’t agree with you more. It all comes down to our surroundings and the values. Call me an old fuddy duddy????
