Family

परिवार

Why is family treated as the basic unit of society?

Core answer

A proposal to examine

Family is the first place where human relationships are recognised, values are practised and material needs are shared. A harmonious society cannot be assembled from individuals who have not learned trust, justice and mutual fulfilment in daily living. Family therefore becomes the practical unit through which understanding, prosperity and responsibility extend into society.

Reflection

Notice which social value is already being learned, or left unlearned, inside the family.
