Actually, moral values are not present now in Indian society. What is now left are vices. Hypocrisy, backbiting, greed, jealousy, selfishness, conspiracy, superiority complex, showoff, anger, hatred, disregard for each other, inequality, arrogance, extreme pride, haughtiness. People are now ever ready to injure each other in thought, word, and deed. People speak lies freely. Compassion is totally extinct. People hearts are now harder than rock. Real and pure love is unknown. What is left is only selfish love based on selfish motives.

Yes moral values are definitely degrading now a days. The main reason is everyone is selfish. No one wants to take care of other human beings. In good olden days education system is quite different, it totally includes reading of holy books so that they can cultivate moral values right from their childhood. But it is not so in the present case. No educational institution gives importance to morals. In turn they are much interested in marks and ranks. So what I feel every person should cultivate these values right from the childhood.

According to me Moral values should be inculcated by parents from the very beginning stage when the child starts learning how to speak. After all its their responsibility to impinge in the good values and moral ethics. A child learns from his/her parents and after he/she starts going to school learns from his/her teachers.
Also 'survival of the fittest' as stated by Charles Darwin is also there where in the child needs to simply apply his/her learned values in order to maintain his/her good qualities among the bad and vulgar ones.

What I think is, Morals and Values in Indian social system in not degrading but it's form is changing due to Globalization, changing social dimensions, increasing professionalism, changing family structure, changing work structure, increasing individualism.
And changes does not mean degradation, old phenomenon of good and bad changes, moral and values also changes. So we should not apply old definition of morals and values to today's worlds. I am optimistic who thought that world is changes and it changes for better.

Hi everyone,
Education gives us the facility to survive in society but moral values make a person great like Dhoni, Sachin, etc. Moral value learns to live a better way of our life and India was better in morality from the ancient time but unfortunately, our society is lacking in morality there may have many reasons behind. If we are educated and less value of moral education then I think we can lead our society in the wrong direction.
And our education system there is very rarely given the place of Moral Value.

It is true that modernity kills morals. The days when we were not modern we had not so many problems like rape, stealth, murder etc. Someone says that sati pratha, child marriage uprooted due to western culture. I want to remind you if you go through history you will find that their culture were more defile than ours. Now the child have no times for their parents, grandparents, teachers. Children are not obeying parents so the graph of their character is going down. Man is different because they help each.

The only reason here is not foreign attraction but the INCREASING COMPETITION. As people have become so competitive they don't celebrate festival with heart, the reason they celebrate is to show off, my statue is more decorative, big and all that stuff. The people responsible for this is as usual HUMAN GREED FOR POPULARITY yes Its NOT MONEY it is also a way to gain popularity.
So it nothing to do with foreign attraction it only a way to gain popularity. The disease is in our mind not foreign culture.

India, traditionally a religious, non-individualistic, closed society is going through the 2nd phase of economic transition. People are for the first time having the taste of economic & individual freedom. It is a volatile time when 'old ideas' are dying & the 'new ideas' are still a minority community. Whether the 'new' is 'right' or not, that is something subjective. But, in my opinion if it turns the Preamble of our Constitution into a reality in the long run, then it is good enough for me.

Desire is the root cause of all devils. The three important aspects of life are now with man that are food, clothes and shelter. But man wants more than that in order to live a cozy life. Today man has become puppets in the hands of his own desires. So he is depending upon materialistic goods which has lead to declination of moral values. The influence of machines has made man a machine which is emotionless. Love has turned to hatred, friends to enemy in this age of cut and throw competition.

I agree that morals and values among Indians are degenerating day by day. Nowadays very often it is seen that youth doesn't have quality time to spent with their parents they are too busy in their life that they even did not hesitate while sending their old parents to old orphanage homes. They drive on the roads so heartedly that even if someone is lying unconsciously on the road, they even don't give a look to them. We need to get to our senses and restore our lost values and ethics of life.
