(Warning ⚠️ A generalization) Why am I noticing more and more apathy and cruelness in India?

Ever since the COVID pandemic, I feel society has undergone a significant shift, and empathy and humanity seem to be diminishing. Let me share my observations about both men and women: 1. Men: There appears to be an increase in violent tendencies among men, alongside an alarming rise in suicide rates. Many seem to have lost hope, with some resorting to deceit and scams for financial gain. The adulteration of food and other essentials has become disturbingly common, driven by the pursuit of quick profits. Additionally, I’ve witnessed acts of cruelty toward street animals, seemingly done for amusement, which is deeply troubling. 2. Women: Growing up, I was taught to respect women and regard them as embodiments of strength and compassion. However, I’ve observed instances where some women don’t extend basic courtesies, like offering seats to pregnant women or the elderly. Furthermore, the issue of false accusations is a serious concern, as it can destroy lives with little regard for the impact on a man’s family. Ironically, feminists often seem silent on these injustices, despite advocating for equality and fairness. What is happening to our society? Are parents failing to instill values in their children? Are schools not doing enough to shape young minds? Why does it feel like we are witnessing a rapid moral decline? I understand some may find this perspective uncomfortable, and perhaps this post may even face removal. However, I believe that addressing these issues honestly is essential if we are to rebuild a compassionate and just society.
