KALI YUGAM

I am reading a book by William Dalrymple, a travel writer and this book deals with India now. I quote below from his Introduction to the book:

"The seventh-century VISHNU PURANA puts it:
The kings of the Kali Yug will be addicted to corruption and will seize the property of their subjects, but will,for the most part, be of limited power, rising and falling rapidly. Then property and wealth alone will confer rank; falsehood will be the only means of success in litigation. Corruption will be the universal means of subsistence. At the end, unable to support their avaricious kings, the people of the Kali Age will take refuge in the chasms between mountains, they will wear ragged garments, and they will have too many children. Thus in the Kali Age shall strife and decay constantly proceed, until the human race approaches annihilation".

-Ramakrishnan.
