Does adulthood means leaving your parents and go to live alone? This might be a social norm in many countries but not in India. In a survey conducted by Shaadi.com where 3,952 single men participated it was found that 54.3 % wants to stay with their parents post marriage on the other hand when 4,617 women when survey the majority wanted the other wise about 64.7%.
The Indian concept of joint family has its own pros and cons but in Indian society it is the sons duty to take care of his parents. It is not the matter of choice but it is expected. The idea goes like this'I took care of you when you were young and now you take care of me when I am old.' It is as simple as that. Most of the Indian parent use their financial strength to educate their children thinking they will take care of them if they become financially strong.
Most important thing which encourages Indian Men to live with their parents even if their financial strength is high enough to support him and his parents separately is the moral support they get from their parents, homely food and child support if they are married. The Indian married couples find it easy and assuring when the grandparents are taking care of their children when they are not at home. But sometimes this interferes with the development of the child because the grandparents raise their child in the way they see fit to which they or us might not agree with like overprotection, teaching them old values etc.
Living with parents is a common trend in India and its a social norm and nothing is weird about it. Even though their is very little privacy in living with parents but has its own perks too. The dinner table is always lively with at least four people couple and grooms parents but it is rarely seen where the brides and grooms parents living together. But their are instances where the groom stays with the parents of the bride in their house, this concept is called in India 'Ghar Jamai'.
It is expected in India and taught that it is expected to return home after college and even young generations thinks so too. Why only normal middle class family but also upper class lives with their family too. Like actors, Buisnessmen etc.
So non-Indian girls if you mayry an Indian man then you have to think about moving in with his parents where you get parental love as well as moral support with a little compromise on privacy and personal freedom. But personally I think it is worth the price.

MYTH OF JOB CREATION ?
ReplyDeleteOr , if you like , call it :
Truth of Job Creation !
In its poll manifesto ( 25 March 2014 ) , Congress party promised to create 100 million new jobs in 5 years ( ie: 20 million / year )
If elected to power , of course !
This , despite having created only 1.3 million jobs between 2004-2009 ( from 457.8 million to 459.1 million / NSSO report )
But the leaders who drafted BJP manifesto were much more practical / pragmatic
In its Manifesto , BJP said :
" Encourage and empower our youth for Self Employment - incubating entrepreneurship as well as facilitating credit "
Why did it say so ?
Take a look at the following news ( DNA / 11 Sept 2015 ) :
Against 368 vacancies of " Peons " advertized by UP Govt , applications received were as follows :
* Total Number of applicants.............. 20 lakh
{ 5,435 applicants for each post ! }
* No of PhDs.................................... 201
* No of Master Degree holders............ 20,056
* No of Bachelor Degree holders.......... 1,23,000
* No of 12th Standard pass................. 6.00.000
* No of 10th Standard pass................. 8,20,000
{ Minimum prescribed Edu Qualification }
I suppose these are those 20 lakh unemployed youth who registered on the UP Employment Exchanges , within the first 7 months of Shri Akhilesh Yadav forming the SP government !
Of course , those not getting appointed as Peons , will continue to receive every month , Rs 1,000 , by way of Unemployment Allowance , earlier announced by SP Govt
Now , if " Providing Jobs / Employment " , is a " State Subject " , then SP Govt in UP , may want to stop this dole-out , and replace it with the " Start Up Act - 2015 " described in detail on :
hemenparekh....in....Blogs
{ A New Economic Order ? aka " Start Up Act - 2015 " }
It is time to dispel the Myth that either Industry or Government can ever succeed in creating 12 million new jobs each year !
