The old man is tied up with the rope . He was force to sign in a paper so his property can be taken his son Shivaji Saha. With traditional family norms that valued and respected the elderly slowly eroding, grandparents feel neglected and disrespected in nuclear families. The trend of young families migrating abroad means that old parents are left behind with no one to look after them. The widening generation gap, family disputes and even physical abuse drive away the old into the harshness of the streets. As the average lifespan increases, Nepal's population pyramid now has a small bulge in the 60 plus age group. In the 1950s the population of 60 plus citizens was just five per cent, it is expected to be over 10 per cent in the 2011 census. As nations age, the prevalence of disability, frailty, and chronic diseases such as alzheimer's, cancer and cardiovascular diseases also rise dramatically.
