'Parents spend lakhs. Children lose their childhood': Indian man on raising children in Norway vs India

An Indian man who has lived in both Norway and India said the biggest difference between the two is how children are raised, not wealth. Comparing the education systems, he said Indian students often lose their childhood to school, coaching and academic pressure, while Scandinavian children are encouraged to think independently, play and be creative. He urged policymakers to build a kinder education system where every child enjoys a real childhood.
