I see a lot of parallels in Korean (and other eastern countries) and Indian social expectations.

While Korea has developed economically and has become a modern industrialized country all of it's social mores and expectations are rooted in it's feudal agricultural past.

I think that similar situation will happen in India as well in next 20 years.

Maybe Western modern industrialized, post-industrialized society needs a individualistic culture as well and does not harmonize well with society whose values are derived from the older feudal, gerontocratic agricultural society.
