112 Social Harmony

Recently, a book, Fatherless American Society, has created a
huge controversy in America. American society is seeing a
massive rise in the number of divorces, leading to a society
where children have either a mother or a father, but not both.
Raising children properly is a huge problem when a child does
not have both his parents. Therefore, the prosperous American
society is now actively trying to resurrect the tradition of family.
However, we have got this as part of our heritage. A very painful
subject for us is the increasing number of old-age homes. Is this
the sign of a healthy society? Psychologists and sociologists
should think about it. Are these the events that will attack our
tradition of family? If children are being raised by nannies and
babysitters, will this strengthen or break our family system?
We have to find a way out in these changing times. It is our
duty to save our society by finding new solutions even to the
worst of situations. We would fall down from our high ideals if
we do not ponder over this now. Respected Mausiji, Lakshmibai
Kelkar, the pioneer of the Rashtra Sevika Samiti has initiated this
movement which will rescue our basic ideals of humanity for
the generations to come.

Somehow our women have been going through a strong
desire to be equal to men. On the contrary, men should start to
women to reach up to the level of women. Women would be
taking a step backward if they want to be like men. That is why
society has to think meaningfully. Woman power has its own
height.
