Brats!

If the rich of the country are a spoilt lot their brats can’t be any different and if anything even worse. India in the last three decades has spawned a breed of nouveau riche that has been weaned on the leakages of government funds. The progeny of this tribe has had a free dip of the till with over indulgent parents doing nothing for moderation.

It is the children of such rich who reinforce the obnoxious stereotype of rich brats who routinely figure in gory episodes like the recent BMW hit and run case in the capital. If parents in their pursuit of mammon choose to abandon all their filial responsibilities the children are bound to acquire a distorted value system. A system which does not accord any weightage to hard work, value of money, duty, civic sense and character.

How does the society allow continuance of this behaviour type?

Who and what could be done?

Are their any strenghths in this culture?
