What I find interesting, is that in India, there isn't a social norm of moving out of parent's house after 18, unlike many other countries.
Maybe because of the large population leading to high rates of housing.
I guess, that's another reason why our Desi parents want us to act like grown-ups but treat us like babies at the same time.
@_lunawinters Indians that I know (including my own parents) lack the will to change.
But Why would they? They get so comfortable with their customs and traditions, they end up losing their identity.
Study- get a job- marry- birth a ton of Kids- make the kids study- repeat.
Doesn't sound so bad in paper, but so effin mechanical. Our society has zero respect for environment or SCIENCE. We take things for granted.
But like always, things are changing.
@Karthikdeva and confronting social norms is seen as rebellious.
The newer generation is changing for good.
