Lets close our eyes & take our pick- ne of these wud be the right answer: The youth themselves w/ their disregard 4 our culture/values, the ever-present media w/ films (& even magazines) getting worse to worst yet still being enjoyed by our double-standard society, the misuse of advanced technology in our country and the laxity of laws in our country against such acts!

A qsn. tat has been unaswered for decades together already! The Indian silver screen has turned into a long-lasting symbol of the two-face society tat we r living in! For years I've heard ppl. in our country criticising the West and their movies on the grounds of 'vulgarity' but ironically they don't find it irksome to watch our own movies tat depict women (& also violence against girls/women) so blatantly.....

JG, ur no doubt rite in this regard! Also in response to comments tat say tat teachers in India r not really committed to their jobs, I daresay tat as a schoolkid, I used to think more or less the same- tat all teachers in schools only knew how to beat/scold and fail students.......

But then, when I was in 10th class and undergoing a psychological problem (sorry don't want to describe it in detail here!), twas my Biology/class tchr plus a few other kind teachers as well, who'd helped me a lot w/ their talks.....also when I was in Intermediate (+2), there was this very nice old English lecturer of ours who used to show very gr8 concern (apart from studies) towards me....

But nevertheless, as the saying goes, JG, parents are our first teachers! And most Indian parents- well, mothers atleast- used to be perfect mentors for moulding their kids' characters! Sadly, in recent times, there has been a decline in this kind of attitude from the parents' side, altho of course there still r ideal mothers even in today's society, such as Scorpio here!

Sorry for the digression, but this was too tempting..

Special thanks for calling me just 'sister' and not 'very old sister'.
