Chapter - 100 - Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj –Sage Kakabhusundi describes the evilness of the Kali era

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, in the Kali era the women and men speak more about Bhramagyana/knowledge of supreme Bhramam reside as a soul in the Jeeva, but they would engage in all immoral deeds like Bhramahathya/killing Bhraman, cow and even the spiritual preceptor to accomplish their personal gain. Shudhra engages heated debates with the twice-born, and try to prove themselves superior to the Brahmans, question the twice-born about their knowledge in Veda and scriptures, and try to disgrace them in all possible ways. People take great pleasure in the company of other’s wives and consider themselves as clever, steeped into worldly matters, attached to possession, wife, children, wealth, fame, richness, money, etc. portrait themselves as Bhramajjyani/consider themselves as absolute Bhramam, they would bring destruction to themselves as well as the noble souls who follows the path of virtues. The Jeeva who find fault in the Veda and scriptures would hurl to hell and live in the entire Kalpa in the hellish torture. The people from the lowest clan, potters, Kiratha, Kola, Bhila, sellers of spirituous substance and oil would shave their head and embrace Sanyasa, after the death of their partner and loss of wealth, these lowest clan of people embraced Sanyasa would be worshiped by twice-born, thereby bring destruction to all. In the Kali era, the Brahmins would be the least knowledgeable of Veda and scriptures, they remain uneducated, ignorant, unskilled, they would marry women from the lower clans of ill character. The Shudras take up the study of Veda, and scriptures, practice Japa and Thapa austerities, etc. and they give lectures on the sacred scriptures seated on the revered Dias of Vyasa/Vyasaghaddhi.  The people would follow austerities and conduct as per their own choices, Oh! Garuda, the atrocities in the Kali era would be countless, cannot be described in words.”
