@akash, where we stay and our surroundings are part of the very society in large you are talking about. Stastistics are just that--statistics--remember they do not factor in many housewives who earn by giving tuitions, meal services, knitting, embroidery, cooking and baking classes, transcription, data entry, creches, dance and music, insurance agents, post office agents, home businesses like amway, tupperware so on and so forth. You are forgetting that even 15% in a population of 1155347678 and growing constitutes millions of working couple--and again that number is growing. Anyway you seem to be missing the bigger picture here, ie, working couple is a reality and india is progressing--rural and urban. Even NRIs remember their India fondly and are proud and acknowledging of the progress it is making. Yes, we have our slums and so do US, britan and every other country--and I must add even our slums have SSI generating in the crores. Urban india and life in the urbans is completely lost to you. Again, like I said pls update yourself....We are not in 2039 but you really seem to be stuck 30 years behind, even then in the 70s my mother in law was a working mother, even my grandmother in law in the 40s and 50s was working in Britannias. While we agree that houses have stay at home moms you seem to disagree that there are working mothers and a significant number at that---Working couples according to you are not possible unless they are same sex couples!!!! Really!!!! Give us a break already!!!!
This is my POV. This is my last post on this topic. There is no point in dragging this if you refuse to look beyond your backyard. Anyway it is a debate and we must agree to disagree. 😊
