@realNamanbir Empathy is an essential part of being a human. Skipping it altogether is never a good idea. In this context, the kid might end up not empathizing with their own parents. I think, it is more important, to teach when to use empathy and when not.
The cheap labor market is finally dying. Mechanical engineers will no longer have to work as software engineers in IT.
India, as always, will rise from this as more innovative.
