India is not destined to be screwed, but it will be screwed if it continues to do what it does.

You've misidentified the problem though.

Everything in India is against the law. This allows Indian government officials to selectively prosecute and enforce the law. This leads to chaos.

You can talk about how this is due to voter politics, or whatever.

But it's not.

It's due to Indian parenting which broadly follows the same model of everything being wrong.

As someone whose parents migrated from India to America, believe me, I know exactly how this works. This cultural trait is so embedded in Indian culture, but it is possible to eliminate.

Can you expand on this, for better understanding by someone not familiar with this style of culture/parenting; and if you have any knowledge, does this also extend to Pakistani and Bangladeshi culture as well? Thanks
