Exactly!

If there is problem you need to find a solution and correct not just point to others and get away from solution. This is very very bad.

Why don’t you google homeless encampments in western countries. Take a look at photos of Watts, Skid Row, and the Rind in Ohio. Thank God my parents immigrated to the USA in 1960 and not to Norway. I was born in the USA and thank God CPS didn’t take me away for eating from my Mom’s loving hands. My parents were admired my our teachers for raising polite intelligent children. My parents raised five college educated law abiding citizens. There are 83 and 90 years old and live comfortably at the Country Club.

This is so bizarre – so tell me when the colonialists invaded other countries did they adopt the ways of living there- no they observed their own culture and imposed it on others. While you are saying you are defending the Norwegian govt. What you are defending is a white supremacist attitude and behaviour – the one that believes white is the norm and all others are deviant

BTW European is not spelt correctly. Why do you use white and European as options. Not all Europeans are white! Please also check you use of karma and the misuse of cultural appropriated words. PS if is impossible to apply racism to white people – please check and read up on white privileged. It is unbelievable that this attitude of white saviour is rife in NGO work

So sad to hear a view from a privileged white person, who should certainly not be working in an ngo with a colonial attitude. The same attitude which brutalised and looted the wealth. Many so called developed countries live off the poor. Just because Norway is seen to be more developed that does not mean the children should be taken away. This is so uncivilised and barbaric, done to the aboriginal, the indigenous people in the “Americas’ etc. I am not sure why there needs to be a comparison of governments. This is such a typical Karen attitude

What a lovely rant! As one of our superstar asks – is this script your own?
It’s surprising that you claim to have worked in the social sector in India and yet have no understanding of Indian society! Allow me to allay some of your concerns..
Regarding population, yes, we are the most populous country in the world. But your claim of families mostly having 5-6 kids.. umm, India has a fertility rate of 2.1 or 2.05. That means, on an average the country has two kids per woman. And this has been so for many years now. This data is available with the official census and it implies that for every 1 woman having 6 kids, there’re 2 who have none.
So NO, they aren’t really ‘popping out kids every 2 years’ with ‘zero population control’.

Okay next I’ll explain how inspite of living in poverty, Indian kids can still ‘grow up in a caring and nurturing environment’. See, unlike what we hear about the West (and I accept I might be wrong about this assumption), India has a very family oriented society. For whatever reasons, good or bad, there are fewer divorces. Apart from both the parents, the children often have the care and love of grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Maybe no air conditioned, spacious homes, but definitely not much lack of personal attention to their needs, food, illness, injuries, etc. Despite the lack of money, they’re LOVED.

Another typically Desi thing with Indian parents.. they’re obsessed with education. No matter their financial or educational background (or lack thereof), there is this zealous drive to educate their kids the best they can. Their best may not be upto your Norwegian standards, but that doesn’t mean there’s a lack of effort from their end.

Further on, I agree that if not the shoes, most Indian parents wouldn’t hesitate from raising their hands to discipline their kids. But just how does this translate to parents not knowing how to raise their kids is beyond logic!

Lastly, if testimonies on YouTube are anything to go by, I doubt many families – expats, immigrants or even Norwegians would consider themselves ‘lucky to have gotten an opportunity to raise their family there’.
I saw this couple whose twin daughters were taken away 4 hours after their birth.. from the hospital itself!!!! Oh Good God, the horror!!

So sure, Norway is miles ahead of India in terms of child upbringing and welfare and knowing what i do about it now… I sincerely pray India never catches up to you guys!
