Introduction :- If, someone ask me in what age i would like to die then, for me definetly it will be my 60s and country i ll choose India. Because, for me i believe only india have those variation of culture and religion and they all follow different traditions to cremations of body. If, we talk about the comparision of United states with the death and treating aged people from india then there is lot of comparision we can see.
As, In India we can see we dont have culture to leave parent after certain age whereas in United state its not so. In, India we can see that only a relative or son of that die body have permission to give fire to there body in Hinduisim whereas, in United state only buring of body is in tradition. That's why religion i ll choose will be only Hinduisim because i want only my closest relative only give fire to my body.
India, is always know for its traditions and culture and in India yet many family are there who leave in join family which, is very difficult to find in any foriegn culture and that's why here old age people get respectable position in family and we all have a softcorner for old age people, In India there are many laws for giving secure life to them, In United stated mostly old age leave alone and self dependent As per there norms. That's why i would like to die i India.
