Summary

Parenting in Bharat remains significantly rigid or incomplete. While cultural traditions and modernization coexist, emotional and participative parenting remains underdeveloped, confirming that the evaluation is true.

Recommendation

I firmly conclude that most parenting in Bharat is indeed too hard or partially absent. Families should actively modernize parenting styles, integrate emotional communication, and balance authority with empathy.
