Dear Editor, Joint family is a garden smelling of happiness. Globally, India has been a bastion of many achievements in many fields, whose values are highly valued globally. Tourists from many countries come to India just to feel and see this precious moment. One of these beautiful achievements is the age-old joint family system and practice in India that stuns the big countries. Colleagues have been in joint family and in India for centuries. Earlier every family used to run in this system in this way, but the cycle of time went on and healthy, green families kept on breaking down and today the rigidity of western culture has taken the initiative to paint the youth in their own colors, but in spite of that there are still lakhs of families in India who have been successful in maintaining this age-old custom and system! Many families today live together in the form of 50 to 100 members under one roof in harmony and the keys of the arrangements are still with their elders. Wow, excellent! Friends, if you want to enjoy life properly, then live in a joint family with love and love. Then see the fun of living life! Friends, if we talk about the present decade, then the number of family breakdowns has increased. Today the aspirations of maximum youth have increased. Most of the youth prefer to live their life alone, exploring their opportunities outside. However, in today’s system, jobs are available only in big cities, that’s why today’s environment is becoming lax in maintaining the joint family system, but friends, this is our age-old heritage, to maintain it, in today’s digital India era, the responsibility of the youth has increased. Today 68 per cent of the country’s population is youth. Now the time has come that the youth will have to handle the joint family system. They have to imbibe the sweetness, virtues, benefits of joint family system in their lives and set a good example for the coming generation. Friends, in the joint family system, parents get the opportunity to serve the elders! He is not in any other system. Friends, I believe that as many virtues as we get from serving our parents and elders, perhaps they will not be attained even after making thousand pilgrimages, because in my view there is no spiritual person like parents and elders. Parents have such a huge space and power, and we get the privilege of living with them only in the joint family system. Friends, if we stay in a joint family and take care of our parents and elders, then our next generation will also respect us by following this line. Therefore it is necessary that today’s youth will have to pay more attention in this direction and these systems will have to be saved from breaking down and by increasing the spirit of adjustment, collective ethos, belongingness, love and affection will have to be strengthened, family form by adjusting the morals among themselves. Protecting this garden by organizing every member has become the ultimate religion of youth today. Today the youth is in urgent need of qualities like tolerance, humility, sensitivity, imagination, tolerance because these are the basic mantras of joint family system. Friends, if we talk about the PM’s address in a programme on December 28, 2021, then according to PIB, personally the PM advised the students to keep alive their sensitivity, curiosity, imagination and creativity and give them the best of life. When it comes to sharing happiness and kindness, don’t keep a password and enjoy life with an open heart, he said. Friends, if we talk about the development of the future generation in the joint family, then the children in the joint family get the opportunity for the most safe and proper physical and character development. The wishes and needs of the child can be taken care of more, he gets a chance to play with other children, he also gets the love of parents as well as other family members especially grandparents, whereas in nuclear family sometimes the love of parents is also rarely known, if both are working. With love from grandfather and grandmother, knowledge, experience is abundant, playing with them, spending time also entertains them, in making them cultured, character, and strong, they get the support of many families. Therefore, if we study the above description and analyze it, then we will find that the responsibility of maintaining the values of the world famous centuries old Indian joint family system needs to be taken up by the youth and joint family is a smelling garden of happiness. There is an urgent need for the youth to become gardeners of this garden. Vijay Garg
