Puri Sankarachary blames western Culture for rape

The loss of our culture values, ethics and civilisation has happened unfortunately with the economic liberalisation in the early 1990s. The country has economically progressed a bit but lost heavily in terms of social values particularly moral values. Education has taught to make only money left and right without any principles and moral standards. Honesty, respect for women, dignity for each other, consideration for fellow beings, sympathy, empathy,etc which were once practiced with proud have gone with the western wind perhaps and the deterioration is there for all to see. Unfortunately women suffer the worst and their empowerment has not happened in practical life. The mindset of people particularly menfolk has not expanded and the result is unbearable.
