At last we are teaching the Brits?

As land becomes scarce in India there is a secret war going on between adults and children in our cities. Resident Welfare Associations are banning children from playing in parks within gated communities. There is absolutely no debate. Children who do not play outdoors are fat and in poor health. Sadly, the incidence of Type 2 Diabetes, which was a disease of adults even 20 years ago, is rising in children and adolescents. The trouble is not with the children but with their parents. Middle class parents in India are extremely indulgent and no one has any civic sense. If a child breaks a window or the windscreen of a car his parents will refuse to pay for it to be replaced. So people react angrily by stopping children from playing. If you are travelling by Shatabdi or Rajdhani invariably a couple with a baby will ask for the air conditioning to be switched off because the baby might catch a cold. Since compartments on these trains are airtight they quickly become stuffy. If you are at an airport you will immediately make out children of Indian parents by the way they run around, creating noise, upsetting bags of other passengers and behaving as if in the wild. Boys are much more spoilt than girls, which is shown in results of Board exams, and are brought up with such a sense of entitlement that they are unable to hold down any job for very long. It seems that they expect to start life as chairman of a company, with a massive salary, paid foreign travel and beautiful secretaries to reserve their restaurant tables. But, thankfully, it seems that we are not alone. Apparently British children are so badly behaved that when parents check in online they make sure that their brats are a few rows away from them on the plane. Previously mothers used to sit next to their children to try and keep them quiet but now they sit far away to get some peace while other passengers suffer. Children in Britain are also growing up with unrealistic expectations of life and are bitterly disappointed when they find out how harsh the world is. But it is not the fault of the children, is it? In an increasingly materialistic world, with both parents working, they are left to their own world of TVs and the internet. Adults have taken away their future and shattered their dreams by destroying the economy so that good jobs are not available even with university degrees. Bankers continue on their crooked ways. Politicians have generated a false recovery based on a property price bubble which means young people can no longer afford their own places. Meanwhile, desperate for tax revenue, the government is using tax fellows as enforcers. Seems that Britain is increasingly becoming like India. Sweet revenge.
