What happened to the Indian Society?

When I was born in a family of 20+ people living in the same house, finding space was a problem. But I never thought about it. Indeed, I was happy. Happy to have a huge family. Happy that everyone is around me no matter what the world gives us. Happy that I am never alone!

But after 2 decades things have changed. We expanded. We moved. We settled in a distant land. Now I am unhappy that I cannot see those family members even once a year. I am unhappy because I am lonely now, stuck in my own complex life. Can’t even explain myself why I am here. I am indeed incomplete in all senses.

I want to be free. But from whom? Myself. Free myself from the boundaries I created by going for higher education, by choosing career over family. What has gone wrong? Did it happen only with me? No, the answer is no. It happened with everyone. The whole Indian society is going through this turmoil of ‘Nuclearization’. Many like it. But few like me, do not. I had no choice.

Our families are shrinking, but our problems are expanding. We don’t realise the essence of joint families. Nothing is perfect in this world. India is over crowded, believe it or not. We hardly find space to live. Our living standards are one of the lowest in the world. I don’t know if living in a nuclear family is wrong. But I do wish going back 20 years and living a complete life.
