Indian families losing its traditional bonding. Whats your opinion?

Hi dear, As I always used to say, that all are around. But we should start searching for. We will get it. But may be due to ingnorance or poor knowledge, we at most times wont pay attention to it. Now it is difficult to go back to the joint family system. It was a time then it could have been better and a must for the family enviornment. Now all have changed. So learn to understand things. But all are having a better intention in mind, we can do all as per our wish and can make more beautiful. In such situations, we need to coopearate. No one have time, job, travel, tension, leave etc. etc. But a proper planning can solve out many such things and a get togerther for 5-7 days is possible. Above all, self interest and real motivation is required. What you say? Regards, Thank-s

ya the family bonding has been lossing consistently. in joint family always there had good family relationship or reson to person interaction. i think the shrinking family and the influence of electronic gadgetsis the main villan to happen these things.

There is no reason why one should not keep in touch even if one leaves the shores seeking greener pastures. Thanks to technology, there are quicker and faster methods that can help one keep in touch but sadly this is not happening. Meeting at functions and celebrations is not something that keep one another in real touch. It is the one on one contact that can make that happen. But for reasons known to none one hardly interacts these days.

you are right to a certain extend.Earlier it was easy to gather for celebrations because of joint family system.But the advantages of nuclear family outweighs the advantages of joint family.In joint family you have more chance of fighting with your family members than celebrating festivals with them.Also, you will have to share your computer and other things with others as well.Joint family sucks.

That really feels sad. Even in our country, because some members of the family are in other countries or in other cities, family bonding has been affected in many homes. But generally, families still find time to be together during special occasions like Christmas, fiestas, and even birthdays.

yes i think its true.joint family is the unique feature of our indian family system in the world.there are many reasons for family shrinking.1st is the its really not affordable now days to live in one roof.as places are reducing day by day specially in the cities.but i think joint family still alive in the rural areas of india..!!

Last time i have seen a joint family in my khandhaan was that of my grand mother's mother!They were soooo big to be called as a jumbo joint family lol...they are all scattered now!We do see each other in special occasions though but the time we get to spend is quiet limited.People who live in villages still believe in living together which is awesome!great day.

Hi, Families are shrinking because it's economically more feasible than a joint family. If you give it some insight you'll understand that it is also important for the overall growth of our country's economy. Joint families in rural areas also encourages more children. They also discourage female child which is quite unfortunate. Though in urban families the last reason is not strong enough, still the economic factor plays a vital role here. A joint family is like a big democracy where decisions take more time in planning which means execution is unnecessarily delayed. There may be some people in a joint family who, in spite of being able, don't actively contribute to it's welfare. In atomic families such intentions are discouraged. There are other factors, mostly economical and social, that facilitated disintegration of joint families, factors that eventually overshadowed the happiness and good things of it. Thanks. God bless you

The most operating factor with the issue of disintegration of a joint family is imbalance in earning of different active or working members.For this reason one could contribute monetarily higher than others whereas others couldn't.But the basic general expectation is equal contribution to support a joint family,which acts as a shear force for seperation leading to individualisation of independency.Though it also highly depends on the manegerial role that the person who is supposed to be the authority in a joint family,plays,the central overall understanding and commitment is of foremost importance.Let's turn our face to the emotional attitude.The "miss" feeling inside the mind is very crucial for strengthening the bond even though living far apart.It's that holy feeling that compells you making a call asking why they fail to join the party in those hours of celebration,it's that holy mind that remembers the long back celebration of the birthday party togather.Yes this is the feeling that keeps the bond alive yet being at distant. Thanks God bless you Happy MyLotting!!

yes, I agree. It is mainly due to interpersonal relationship and understanding have come down.Also In those days there was no ego among family members and all were controlled by a senior member of the family.

i agree with u. indian families losing their bonding.its not good for indian tradition but u have to live with reality.and this is the truth.
