Summary: The present book is delving into the world of gerontology from a socio-cultural perspective. The book is a product of an intensive fieldwork-based research which inherently is a reaction to the increasing intolerance towards the elderly population and their consequent marginalization. Despite governmental measures towards the rising deplorable conditions of the aged people, the elderly population faces social exclusion, both from their own family who believe that they should become 'inactive entities' as well as from the society for whom their importance gradually diminishes.
