Case study

Q4. You were brought up in a joint family, you were loved by all members of your family. Though their love and care helped you in your growth, as you started to grow you noticed that each of the members had their schemes and agendas to further their position in the joint family in one way or the other. For example, your parents used to badmouth your other uncles and aunts every chance they get to undermine their social standing in front of your grandparent’s eyes. The rest of your family members were no different. Underneath the modicum of a well-functioning family was a swamp of selfishness and hatred for each other.

Since you were young, you could not do much. As you grew you slowly started to distance yourself from others and just focused on your education. You were able to score well and get through the entrance examination to secure a seat in a notable IIT college. All were happy seemingly happy in your household. Once when you came back to stay with your family owing to holidays, you observed that others in the family have started to pressurize their kids in doing better in academics in a rather aggressive and forceful way. This is seriously impeding their childhood growth. You confronted your parents with your concerns and they scolded you to just focus on yourself and not focus on other kids. Confronting others in the family might not be so fruitful since the set hierarchy in the family leaves little space for the younger generation to voice their opinions.

In the context of this situation, answer the following questions:

  1. What are the challenges for you in this situation?
  2. What possible course of action can you take in this situation?
  3. Evaluate each of these courses of action briefly.
  4. Which course of action will you choose? Justify your choice adequately.
  5. Why have some joint families in recent times become transactional and selfish?
