I have been observing desi kids for the last five yrs. Lot of them are very impersonal. The parents are ok, socialize with others. But what is the problem with the kids? I found out in many cases the moms are high handed (too dominating). Basically the kids are like robots who are programmed into being impersonal. I don’t get it. Is it the insecurity of the parents (moms)? Some moms are so control freaks.
As I have observed, South Indians are the worse (no offence, I am a South Indian too). North Indians a bit better. Irrespective of their education, the behaviour of the parents who have programmed their kids to be robots is the same. I am puzzled with these folks.

Dio,
the reasons may be less time spend by parents with kids and lack of playing outside due to extreme wheather conditions.

may be parent/kids live in 100% indian neighbour hood, always watch indian tv, speak indian language at home always, always go indian restaurant for lunch/dinner, feel scared if they get something from other communties,... means indian with $$. Those kids are not confident to go and do something outside that community.

When you say upbringing, do you mean they are being taught not to be social? Why would anyone do that?
After the term "ABCD", we have to come with a new term "CBCD" - Canadian born, Confused Desis. I know not everybody would be Canadian born.
I guess kids get to get confused with the Indian lifestyle & the lifestyle they encounter in their school/college, etc.
Thanks & regards.
Rajan.
