But why does not anyone talk about the ‘men’ and ‘women’ whose lives stand still because of the family burden or never-ending responsibilities of the family? Even then, don’t we find men and women stay single completely surrendering their lives for their parents or siblings? I feel in India every individual’s life is controlled, dictated, and directed by several factors right from family to society. I have come across many men and women who remained single and took care of their family and parents with no benefits for them. Even in public life, one can see neither the public nor the media ever advise children or youngsters to follow popular personalities who remained single and led their lives without family or children.
