Answer 1

people are still honest and sincere in their conduct but are less conscious about themselves compared to olden people.

Answer 2

see in the older times people live with each other and loved each other. There were no differences among them.
There was neither low caste people nor high caste people.
They treated them equally.
But today no one cares about it.
They are just busy in their life.
This is the reason why poet says this.
