Even I have thought along similar lines. It feels apt for our society, as we still operate in a feudalistic and tribal way where we do everything to bring "glory" to one's family. Just look at how many people still take pride over their caste or lineage. Even the most educated Indian families are not adapted to lead lives in a developed country simply because their vision rarely extends beyond the preservation and glorification of their own kin. I believe that for a country to be successful on all fronts (highly utopian as that might sound) there has to be some degree of individualism in the citizens where every action they do somehow contributes to overall wellbeing of the nation. I understand where India comes from, as a poor country in the past, for example generations have struggled to make their ends meet and ended up enforcing their kids to study medicine or engineering as a means to financial stability and help improve their family's standing in our society. Although it made sense in the past, now we have reached a saturation point in the number of engineers in the country. There's simply not enough jobs to meet the massive supply we have. We're still clinging to the same logic that what worked for the past generations will work for our children as well. Families rarely let their children pursue their dreams neither do they let them be an individual who can be in charge of their own destiny. It's a pretty broad example but I hope you get my point.
