The global elderly population is rapidly increasing.  All credible projections indicate that by 2030, individuals aged 65 and older will outnumber youth for the first time in history. This demographic shift is particularly pronounced in Asia and Europe. In India, traditional joint family structures are giving way to nuclear families.  This trend is leading to a rise in old age homes as families become smaller and more dispersed.

Despite its inevitability, death remains a subject often avoided in conversations. It highlights the consequences of this avoidance, such as the lack of discussions on end-of-life care and funeral preferences. The article encourages us to rethink our approach to death and consider it as an integral part of life.

We are trying to create a platform where our readers will find a place to have their say on the subjects ranging from socio-political to culture and society. We do have our own views on politics and society but we expect friends from all shades-from moderate left to moderate right-to join the conversation. However, our only expectation would be that our contributors should have an abiding faith in the Constitution and in its basic tenets like freedom of speech, secularism and equality. We hope that this platform will continue to evolve and will help us understand the challenges of our fast changing times better and our role in these times.
