Mr. Sudheswer,
Your post is very real and a very large number will agree with it. There are exceptions where the parents speak the language and can drive and lead an independent life.

Some of Us came 30 odd years ago and are the parents who will fit your description to an extent.
Fortunately in my town there is an active Indian community where these elderly parents can meet and not be bored whole day.

Some of the parents coming from India have the additional problem of health coverage. What costs INR 75 costs $75 in USA, so they feel the pinch and also the guilt that their children have to bear the cost. And if they have chronic condition or needs to be hospitalized, the financial burden causes them more pain.
