The Forgotten Generation: Why Caring for Our Elders Will Save Us All (Books That Fight Back Series)

“How did we become the generation that discards the very hands which once carried us?” — Sree Krishna One Sunday afternoon, the author saw a newspaper photo: an elderly woman in a bright red saree starving under a makeshift tent. She was on a hunger strike, demanding justice from the son who had abandoned her and stolen her home. The author drove 30 kilometres and stood beside her as she refused to eat until the law finally listened. This is not one woman’s story. It is the story of millions.
