A deep personal and emotionally charged contribution from Gaurava Kheterpal, the founder of the launch of expertise with more cloud, has evoked an intensive discussion online about the erosion of Indian family values in an increasingly globalized world.
In the post called “Is the Indian Family System dead?”, Kheterpal shared a tormenting incident concerning a close friend (referred to as “X”) who lived in the United States for 15 years, while his older father – Agens 84 – lived alone in Jaipur three years ago.
Kheterpal revealed that he was given a frantic call at 3 o’clock in the morning and asked him to check his sick father who felt good. Kheterpal and several friends who immediately replied, plunged an older man into a hospital where he was diagnosed with more organs.

“We got him the best possible treatment, stabilized and only a few of his relatives appeared – none of them were ready to pay any accounts, responsibility for the shoulder, etc.,” he wrote.
This was followed, according to Kheterpal’s words, “incredible” and “shook the core”. Although his father was in a critical state of the ICU, X remained in the US to work on what he called “more million dollars” agreement. He flew to India only after his father’s death – he stayed for three days and left just after Baithak.
“No Asthi Visarjan, none of the other rituals stating that they are all superstitions that we do not believe,” Kheterpal added and expressed his dismay about how the family rituals were outlined aside.

Perhaps the most heartbreaking detail: his wife and children X accompanied him to India. “He has a job and children have a school,” he said x allegedly – a reason that didn’t sit well with many who read the post.
“All the time I believed that Indian family values, our rituals and gluing are much better and stronger than anywhere else in the world. But this incident will shake me to the core!” Kheterpal wrote.
The thread, which quickly gained traction on X (formerly Twitter), caused a greater debate on the “changing face of Indian society”, the cost of global ambitions, and the decreasing importance of traditional family bonds and rituals.
While some users sympathized with the practical reality of life abroad and career management, many have reflected the concerns of Kheterpal and lamented what they consider to be a growing “disintegration of Indian family values”.
Here are some of the reactions:
The user wrote: “Fun, as you publicly threw your friend under the bus on Tweet.”

Another user wrote: “No one comes to India for only 3 days of the US. Traveling alone takes one day. Jet Lag makes it difficult. True, reveal the details of the older man and his son along with hospital documents and accounts.”
Kheterpal responded to it and said, “Quite amazing answer! Your IQ is on a different level.”
The third user said, “Deep cordially.
They return home, aging parents wait quietly and hope their children will return to take care of them.
But for many children, as soon as parents are gone, it is the only plan to sell everything and move on – house, memories, roots.
The shocking recent data show that almost two lakh Indians have given up their citizenship – a quiet farewell to their homeland.
What do we really get … And what are we losing? ”
