This is sign of decay.
Why this is happening? Who is to blame? How it can be corrected?

#1 Eve-teasing is extremely disgusting, a kind of verbal and psychological terrorism. People indulging in this should be punished severely, period.
#2 Respect of elders....this is not as easy as it sounds. There are many "elders" who eat meat, have no idea of scriptures et al, so why would anyone respect them? Are they worthy of respect, just because they happen to be old? This is something to consider. We must respect wisdom alright, but we cannot kid ourselves that old people are always wise and therefore deserve our respect. Respect is to be earned, not given away for free on account of old age or whatever.
#3 As to dishonesty and lying, these are common in third-world nations. Desperate people resort to desperate measures. In a rich India, these problems will be non-existent.
#4 Why is this happening? There are many reasons, evidently, but the root cause in kaliAvEsha. Everything else is secondary.
#5 Who is to blame? There may be a thousand factors, so it isn't easy to say. If we blame Britain for raping India's culture, others may also blame Indians who allowed this rape to take place, while still others may place the blame on mughals, and so forth. There is no end to any of this.
#6 How to correct this? Follow Sanatana Dharma, that's the only way. There are no shortcuts to success.
