Priyanka Saurabh
Today, there is a dire need for everyone to think and understand about family values and family as an institution, and at the same time, there is a need to find out the reasons for the decline of these values and rectify them. For this, the leaders of the society, poets/writers/singers/heroes/heroines/teacher classes, and other social workers, as well as politicians, should write and think about the implications of the decline of the family as an institution. It should be discussed in open forums what is the reason for this decline ? And how to recover from this decline ? Young poet Satyavan Saurabh has rightly written this situation saying in his own words that- Families are falling apart, moods are changing ! Expressing love from others, separation from loved ones !!
The family is an institution in itself in Indian society and a distinctive symbol of India's collective culture since ancient times. The joint family system or an extended family has been an important feature of Indian culture until a mixture of urbanization and western influence began to shake that institution. The family is a basic and important social institution that has an important role to play in influencing individual as well as collective morality. The family nurtures and preserves cultural and social values.
It provides stability to society by encouraging law-abiding citizens. (To be contd)
