New India !!
Youngsters, take care of metal health of your elders while they themselves keep being physically fit and healthy.
A 95 years old community elder was being popularly quoted in our social Whatsapp group for his inspiring health and dedication towards discipline in daily routines and diet. He indeed appears much younger to his age. It came out that he is also a cartoonist and is active on social media. Finding this interesting I looked at his twitter handle.
To my surprise I found him creating and posting toxic political content with strong undertones of hatred, misogyny and mindless racial and religious prejudice.
With due respect to this grand old formar senior who superannuated decades back and whose actions relating to managing health may be inspirational, is it not imperatively excepted that at this age a nonagenarian sheds prejudices, stops being socially toxic and politically vile?
However I am finding that more of such elders, senior retired persons, are falling prey to being prime flag bearers of virulent socio-political raids of modern day ideas of Caligulas and Mihirkulas. One peep into their whatsapp groups would reveal how much religeous, racial and political hatred is being spewed constantly in such groups which also spills over to facebook and twitter at times with some more active ones even if struggling beyond 90, taking leads.
