India's Abandoned Elderly

A tear rolls down the cheek of Brajrani Gaur, 62, as she recounts how she was abandoned by her sons, Monday, April 15, 2024, as she sits in the government-run ashram Krishna Kutir, where she is a resident, in Vrindavan, India. By tradition, Indian parents live with a son, who is responsible for their care, though in practice, the work typically falls to women. That remains the norm, but a growing number of older Indians now have absentee children and inadequate help to keep up with expenses or care. (AP Photo/David Goldman)
