"Today, A Child Is Outsourced To Instagram": Nara Lokesh On Parenting In Digital Age

In a candid reflection on the social impact of technology, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader and Andhra Pradesh minister Nara Lokesh has warned that parenting in India is undergoing a troubling shift - one where digital platforms are fast replacing traditional family systems as the primary influence in a child's life.

"If you look at it in the past, families were joint families and we would learn a lot. We would serve our elders first and learn how to respect, socialise, discuss various issues across the table. But today's families have become very nuclear and under work pressure, the child is outsourced to Instagram or various other social media platforms where today socialisation is happening on social media. It's not happening within the family," Lokesh told NDTV.
