But a Family is always a Family. Other people outside India are mostly amazed at the Family culture of India or mostly shocked to see how big joint families still stay together in this Nation. Similarly, India is under the loving guidance of a mature compassionate disciplined family head and growing as a unique example of a multicultural multi-religious family to the rest of the world
