The concept

Some great sage of Indian origin said - there is no bad mother on the earth, and then, why there are bad children? No child surely can grow well in the absence of love and affection primarily from the mother. This is a common phenomenon amongst all living beings on the earth. Initially mother takes care of the child and any new born (either an animal or a bird or a human) looks for the lovely touch of a mother and the new born starts growing with that only. This is a fact of life in any sect, in any religion and in any country for that matter.

Parents are mostly unpaid servants and the service rendered by a parent to their child is surely not having any matching reward or remuneration. This a fact of life. Parents, mostly desire to bring the children up in life and desire their unfulfilled ambitions, be fulfilled through their children. Which means a high expectation on the children - quite psychologically. During the course of the process, probably parents may try to impose high degree of discipline and parents might want that each minute of the child's time to be converted to the productive set goals. On many occasions this may lead to friction and a child might develop hatred, since he does not enjoy freedom of his choice. This becomes the possible poisonous seed initially planted in the brain of a child which starts getting similar fruits over a period of time mostly after marriage.

In the early days Indian Parents used to hold high ambitions on their children and the mind set normally was to remain with the children at their old age in the joint family system of Indian family life. Normal parents of ancient India brought their children up with a view to upkeep their traditional and professional skills to continue in the family. Their attachment to their profession was extremely well and they never used to think that their children to skip off from their inherited professions. For example, a potter desired his children to turn out be a better potter and never there were intentions to make the potters child a doctor or so on. This attitude gradually changed and children were brought out of the parental profession and they were given freedom of their goal in their studies beyond the scope of family tradition.

This became the origin to keep the children away from parental profession and detachment to the place of stay of the parents. Which means migration started depending on the need of the job and career choosen. However the traditions of India kept the family intact and that is what is going on still, though it started diluting now-a-day.
