🤔Role of Parent in inculcating values:
- In 2023, American President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is convicted of tax fraud.
- Film star Jackie Chan’s son is convicted of drug offenses, Sunil Dutt’s son Sanjay Dutt is convicted in an AK-47 case.
- Meanwhile, film star R.Madhwan's son has won 5 gold medals in Asian Swimming competitions, and film star Ravi Kishan’s daughter, Ishita Shukla, joins the defense service.
- Thus, the role of a parent is important in the upbringing of a child and inculcating values in him/her, and to ensure that the child does not fall into bad company.
(माता-पिता की जिम्मेदारी बच्चों में अच्छी नैतिक मूल्यों का सिंचन करे, और यह सुनिश्चित करना कि खराब संगत में ना जाए)
🤔Rural parents’ attitude towards daughter education
- Some Indian parents prefer their daughters to be in comfortable, safe, and 'marriageable' jobs - teacher, bank clerk, etc. If not, then she should become a housewife.
- Usually, such parents are from the villages/lower middle-class and less educated families.
- A politician cannot inspire/change their attitude merely through advertisements/speeches. But by the grand action of sending his own daughter into the military, he can bring about a change in the parents' attitude towards daughters and their careers.
(सामान्यत: निम्न मध्यमवर्ग और गांव के कम शिक्षित माता पिता अपनी बेटी को नौकरी करवाना नहीं चाहते या फिर ज्यादा से ज्यादा शिक्षिका और बैंक क्लर्क जैसी सुरक्षित नौकरियां जाते हैं। एक राजनेता केवल बड़े-बड़े भाषणों से उनका यह रवैया नहीं बदल सकता, जब तक वह खुद की बेटी को फौज में ना भेजें)
🤔Conscription (अनिवार्य फ़ौज सेवा):
- In South Korea, it is compulsory to serve in the military. Even the most famous pop music band members are not spared.
- Whereas in India, politicians talk about nationalism, patriotism, and praise the army but usually don't send their kids in the military.
- Consequently, some of the problems faced by the ground infantry do not get immediate attention at the highest level. For example, bad quality food in BSF
- until someone makes a viral social media video.
- But if the child of a big politician is serving, then it is likely that such problems will get highlighted to the parent & rectified more rapidly.
(भारत में राजनेता देश भक्ति की बातें करते हैं सेना की प्रशंसा करते हैं लेकिन प्राय: खुद के बच्चों को नहीं भेजते। परिणाम स्वरूप आम फौजियों को आने वाली समस्याएं जैसे कि घटिया किस्म का खाना आदि पर मंत्रियों का ध्यान नहीं जाता जब तक सोशल मीडिया में हंगामा ना हो. लेकिन अगर किसी बड़े राजनेता का बच्चा स्वयं फौज में है तो फौजी के जमीनी स्तर पर हो रहे अनाचारों की खबर जल्दी पहुंच जाएगी, और त्वरित सुधारात्मक कार्रवाई होगी.)
🤔British crown/ royal family
- Prince William and Prince Harry served in the Airforce/Army for ten years, even though it is not compulsory for the monarch or his progenies to serve in the military.
- However, it helps build leadership, character, public image, and inspire others to do the same.
(ब्रिटेन में शाही परिवार के बच्चों का फौज में जाना अनिवार्य नहीं है लेकिन प्रायः वे जाते हैं, ताकि अनुशासन, नेतृत्व की क्षमता और सावर्जनिक छवि को बेहतर किया जा सके.)
