Eid Day III SPECIAL: Hypocrisy of citing culture

LANGUAGE URDU

In our society there is a new trend of older generation complaining about how the new generation doesn't seem interested in keeping up with the culture you had: of meeting with family, of cousins being close, of the fear that the next generation will not even know who their relative are. The problem is the responsibility lies with the former: the older generation is the source of breakage of family reunions, of teaching their children that family is all about politics and resentment and division. Similarly the older generation has not worked hard to revive the support system families need to have for overseas Pakistanis/Indians/Bangladeshis etc who decide to shift to these countries. The hypocrisy of not being able to grant basic necessities to the public but forcing your children to live in this society which is sheer torture. The same older generation complains about how children are always on their mobiles...and yet this same older generation is always on their mobiles even when they are in front of a gathering. the reasons behind it all...your children are a reflection of you.
