Most of the other countries children move to own house , if the parents are good terms with them they will stay near by !
It depends up on individuals ,
There is too much history in Indian society with a lot of unwritten rules. The moment a son is born, he becomes the "budape ki laati", the pension fun, the investment. The good education or anything else is done with keeping the idea that when they are old, the son would support them and take care of them. They look at the son as an investment in bank and expect to get maximum returns.
When a girl is born, they call her Lakshmi and tell her that she is the caretaker of the family in a different way. She is told to compromise at every step saying tomorrow you will go to your husband's house and you have to adjust there. That you have to keep our honor. And that the in-laws house is your house not your parents house. They are your family.
As long as this is the mindset, there can be little change. For the change to happen, this mindset and ideology has to change. And that can only happen when people look past the superlatives in their lives and look at the core of life.
