Psychology and Indian Society: Changing Mindset

“Matru Devo Bhava, Pitru Devo Bhava” — Mother is God, Father is God This ancient Vedic mantra is one of the first values taught to an Indian child. It conveys a deep message of reverence, gratitude, and unquestioned respect toward parents. But as a society, while we are taught to worship our parents as divine, we must now confront a painful question: Have Indian parents truly acted like God? Or are many simply demanding god-like respect without god-like responsibility? Let’s Confront the Truth A Terrorism That Happens at Home   Since the 1990s, over 10 million female fetuses have been aborted in India — victims of our obsession with sons. Chilling Parallel: Terrorists kill for religious supremacy. Parents kill daughters for gender supremacy — to feel powerful by producing a boy. Like terrorism thrives on secret ecosystems — so does female foeticide, rooted in: •Cultural conditioning •Social pressure •Political silence And like terrorists in Kashmir who confessed to murders but r...

  Let's Explore 🔹 1. Subconsciously, Women Choose Their Own Chains In many Indian households, it’s the woman who devalues her own gender. She may prefer a boy child over a girl , fearing that a daughter will bring burden, dowry issues, or “no return.” She may willingly abort a female foetus, not because someone forces her, but because she believes a girl is less valuable. This is psychological slavery , where the victim begins to believe the oppressor’s values ; Which is the Root Cause of Crime Against Women.  🔹 2. Mothers Pass On The Chain Daughters grow up seeing their mothers serve silently and treat sons like kings. They learn that their value lies in pleasing others , not in being free. A girl absorbs the belief: “ I am secondary. My rights come last .” Later, when she marries: She leaves her father’s home and enters her husband’s home as a stranger , where she struggles to find her place . She believes only if she keeps her husband happy, she’ll be accepted. This ins...

Let’s Explore the Truth When we talk about corruption in politics, education, or government offices, we often treat it as a problem at the top. But the real roots of corruption lie elsewhere—deep in our classrooms . Corruption doesn’t begin in a minister’s cabin or a government department. It begins in the exam hall—with a whisper, a hidden chit, or a stolen glance at a friend’s answer sheet. We casually call it “helping a friend.” HOW THE SEED IS SOWN It all starts with a distorted idea of smartness and kindness : •A student cheats and calls it clever. •A friend helps someone cheat and calls it loyalty. •A teacher looks away, thinking it's harmless. But this is the beginning of moral compromise. Children begin to internalize dangerous messages: •“Success matters more than honesty.” •“If everyone does it, it must be okay.” And slowly, the brain rewires. What once felt wrong now feels routine—and even justified. This is how the foundation of corruption is quietly laid, long before a...

When we think of temper tantrums, what comes to mind? A crying child at a grocery store, perhaps, throwing themselves on the floor over a chocolate bar. But what if tantrums didn’t stop in childhood? What if they simply evolved into quieter, more manipulative forms, hidden behind emotional drama, threats, and even violence? This blog explores the uncomfortable truth: tantrums don’t vanish with age—they often grow into a darker emotional strategy used by adults, families, and even societal groups to gain control when things don’t go their way. Part 1: The Family Drama — When Love Turns Into Emotional Blackmail We often hear that children throw tantrums when they don’t get what they want. But many Indian parents do the same, only with more cunning. Imagine a young adult who wants to pursue arts, but the parents dream of a doctor in the family. Instead of healthy discussion, the parents resort to emotional manipulation : “You’ll break my heart.” "You will spoil my reputation." ...

We often hear the term " appeasement " in political debates, especially when one party accuses another of favouring a particular group to secure votes. But have we ever paused to think—where does appeasement begin? Is it only a political strategy, or has it quietly seeped into every layer of our society? This is not just a political issue. It’s a psychological pattern, a social evil, and a habitual culture—and it starts from our very homes. 1. The First School: Home and Family At home, appeasement often takes a gendered form. Parents—knowingly or unknowingly—appease the boy child, while neglecting or over-disciplining the girl child. The son is often forgiven, pampered, and given excuses, while the daughter is expected to be obedient, sacrificing, and responsible. This imbalance creates two kinds of individuals: The boy learns that strength and power bring respect and privileges. The girl learns that to be accepted and to have her needs met, she must please those in power. I...
