Changing Indian Famuly |
Indian families are well integrated and follow undivided status.
This had been realty till middle of 20th century. After IInd
world war and with aggression from western life style family system started
disintegrating. Fuel was added by smaller size on account of population
control. Presently triangular or quadrilateral families are considered as the
best families at least in urban area. Over 40% of population is in urban area.
Therefore, this needs to be considered. In a joint family it was well
understood philosophy that the family must take care of every member of the
family irrespective of age or member’s earnings. During certain age span every
member was expected to earn for family. Earlier to this period or after, every member
was required to be supported by earning members. This system worked for
thousands of years and there had been no need for the government to think about
senior citizens who physically become handicapped due to old age. Today we
consider that our nation is a family. Members who take care of the nation are
members of committee of ministers. Hence, as on today this committee of
ministers must take care of every one irrespective whether earning or not.
