Words of Wisdom―Challenges for Aged Parents in India




“Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.” —Confucius


When children undermine the father in front of their mother constantly, there will be a rift between mother and father. When children undermine the mother in front of their father, there will be a rift between mother and father. Such constant acts create a gap between parents in the long run. In some cases, they pave the way for parents to go for divorce. Therefore, it is the responsibility of children not to create any rift between parents. They must empathize with their parents and underscore the sacrifices made by the father in front mother and that of the mother in front of the father. In Indian society, parents expect their children to take care of them in their old age since there are no social security measures for parents in old age. In the current scenario, there is no such scope for children to take care of old parents as they migrate to other places for their survival and success. It is a great challenge in the present society, especially in Indian society. It needs to be addressed earnestly to ensure the safety, security, and dignity of aged parents.

Children realize the challenges of parents when they reach their old age. By the time it is too late as parents are no more in this world.


“I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.” —Maya Angelou
