This is a Buddhist country where the state religion is Buddhism. But, Elderly women most of whom are like our mothers seem to be begging on the street today. There children seem to have been neglected them. Where have our all moral values gone?

While the ladies are observing sil, the men are consuming liquor, drugs and going on rape fests.
