A young married woman goes to her parents' house for the delivery of her first child. When she comes back with the brand new baby in her arms, her husband refuses to take her in. She comes back to her father's house with the baby, tries one more time, but the husband doesn't buzz. Their marriage had been the culmination of a love story. Now the husband lives with another woman and the divorce case is still in the court.The baby has grown without knowind who has never known what a father is. The man who abandoned the wife with a newborn child legitimately fathered by him, never wanted to see his son nor wanted to know about his well being. And he didn't think twice before shunning the woman whom he had loved for many years and had married.
A young MBA girl joins a job. As she is new to the place, she decides to stay with a distantly related brother who works there. Her family also feels secure that the girl is with a brother.within some months something very shocking happens with the internal world of the small town, morally conditioned girl. The brother declares to her one day that he loves her. This is a jolt to the unassuming,moralistic girl, but the boy keeps singing his song of love. One day he coaxes her into a fake marriage citing that as they are cousins, their families would never agree to the alliance, so they would marry privately and remain committed to one another for life. They start living like husband and wife. A few years elapse and one day the girl catches the boy having an affair with another girl. She confronts him and reminds him of his vow to remain committed. The boy promises not to do so again but clandestinely continues with the affair. The girl takes courage, confronts the other girl and the matter is put to rest. But when the girl asks the boy to marry her legally, the boy tries to sneak away from the scene altogether. The matter end tragically with the girl committing suicide after many months of mentally agony and torture. The boy works in a lucrative position in another city and in all likelihood,in a few days, he will find another girl for himself.
These are two stray examples of how the young minds of our country are completely out of sync with the moral and ethical principles of Indian culture that have been the proud heritage and the backbone of our society. They have moved into an alien world of their own with its own perverse rules minus any moral scruples. In this world, egotism and self-centered existence is regarded as normal. Pleasure is the main purpose of life and human emotion, affection and caring are strange words. The blind imitation of all that is detestable in the Western society has been accepted as the sign of progressiveness.The magnitude of such moral and cultural crisis is increasing day by day and the view of these distorted world is quite distressing. In the land of the likes of Swami Vivekananda and Dr Kalam, such degeneration is a matter of great shame and disappointment. Human goodness makes the world what it is, and degeneration of values will make it a land of demons. Only the face will be a human's, the conscious will retrograde into that of devils.Is there any hope for our young minds?I am not including those who still carry the torch of moral uprightness and are never afraid to stand up for something good and extraordinary.
