Editorial Viewpoints

This incident shows, to which extent the moral degradation of the young generation had taken place. This is the resultant of giving only materialistic education to the children. In fact, the only solution to avoid such incidents is to teach them the Dharma and Sadhana and get that practised by them. When will Hindus realise this ?

Juvenile accused cannot be prosecuted but such incidents underline the necessity of the action against them. Is the Indian system that frames non-spiritual based laws has any solution to this ?
