Solution
The Extended family is often seen as symptomatic of India.
Explanation:
An extended family (commonly known as the ‘joint family’) can take different forms, but has more than one couple, and often more than two generations, living together. This could be a set of brothers with their individual families or an elderly couple with their sons and grandsons and their respective families. The extended family often is seen as symptomatic of India.

| The present study…deals with a Muslim biradri (community) called the Multani Lohars. ... Karkhanedar is a vernacular term used for a person engaged in the business of manufacturing of which he is generally the owner…The karkhanas under study operate in domestic conditions and, therefore, have certain pervasive effects on the life of the karkhanedars who work in them. …The following case illustrates this. Mahmood, aged forty years, was living with his two younger brothers, one of whom was married. He had three children and was the head of the complex household. …All the three brothers were employed in various karkhanas and factories as skilled workers. Mahmood successfully fabricated replica of a motor part the import of which had been banned. This greatly encouraged him to start his own karkhana…Later it was decided that two karkhanas should be set up to manufacture the motor part. One was to be owned by the two elder brothers, and the other by the youngest, provided he set up a separate household. Rasheed set up an independent household, consisting of his wife and unmarried children. Therefore, one complex household, comprising three married brothers, gave birth to a simple household as a result of new entrepreneurial opportunities. Excerpted from S.M.

I was born and raised in a large family in Ahmedabad where many members lived under the same roof. However, few months after I got married, my husband and I moved to Chennai. In the beginning, I enjoyed the privacy with my husband. But on certain occasions I also felt the absence of other family members around us along with their interactions and regular ‘interference’. As time passed by, I started feeling lonely and missed the crowd of relatives around me. I particularly remembered the fun-filled moments that I spent with my large family during festivals. My husband and I made good friends with few neighbours, but the loneliness remained. After the birth of both my children, I needed my mother and mother-in-law around to assist me for a while, but I had to manage on my own. Things became really difficult when I took up a job. I had to leave both my children in a day care centre. It was then that I most cherished the memories of my childhood spent with my family. |
