Family (general)
31. Could you tell me something about your family?
Certainly. We are a normal Indian family. It consists of my father, my mother, and
me. I am the only child, so I don’t have any brothers or sisters. My grandparents
passed away when I was still very young, so I did not have the privilege of
knowing them. My father was one of four children, and my mother has a brother,
so I have a number of uncles and aunts, and many cousins.
32. What do you think of the One-Child Policy in China?
That’s a tough question. Allow me to explain my personal views by shortly
mentioning the following points: Firstly, I think we have to have the policy in
China. Our population had been growing to rapidly and something drastic had to
be done. Secondly, I believe the policy will give China a chance to move ahead
in the world. What I mean to say is that as soon as the population growth has
stabilized, China will be able to make progress in the fight against
unemployment.
33. Why do people in your country traditionally want to have a son?
That’s an interesting question. Allow me to explain my personal views by shortly
mentioning the following points: Firstly, I believe that fathers all over the world
want someone to carry their name into the future. For example, in many western
countries it is customary for a boy to receive his grandfather’s name. A second
reason that I could mention is that parents worry about what will happen to them
after they had retired. They feel that when they have a son he would be able to
provide for them in future.
