This is what Sena said on rape & culture. Does the Congress agree?

This is what Sena said on rape & culture. Does the Congress agree?: "Translation from the Shiv Sena’s Marathi mouthpiece Saamna’s front-page article on Monday:

Be careful and the world will appear to be good...this is the advice, born out of experience, that growing children get from grandparents. But in today’s superfast world, grandparents have been relegated to old-age homes and youth have fallen in the page-three trap. In the attempt to provide a ‘free’ atmosphere at home, parents proudly allow girls to wear skimpy clothes and give boys uncontrolled freedom."

This is happening in a country which gave birth to the authors of the Kama Shastra and the Kama Sutra. Where the ancestors have passed a message down to generations that life revolves around 'Dharma', 'Artha' and 'Kama'. Maslow's Pyramid was well understood by our ancestors in 500 BC and this generation doesn't. What a shame. I would think that this article in Saamna is a reflection of the thoughts in a majority of the citizens of India. When we talk of India Shining, do we think that such citizens would enable India to become a world-power ??
