Maharaja Ranjit Singh ‘s impartiality and secularism is unmatched in the history of modern India.

Like most successful rulers , leaders and businessmen , he made the error of not gifting struggle to his offspring.

You are right but it’s never an easy task for the parents to “gift struggle” to their children, unless the later are on a different trajectory or in a different field.

Also, maintaining that fine balance is the challenge.

Concur 💯%

I plead guilty with no explanation. I went to Nth degree to provide everything and much more to our son what my villager parents couldn’t.

Two blessings helped me recover from my errors.

A. My wife’s discipline and ability to maintain the balance .

B. Our son watching us working hard . And us not giving up despite several false starts in our journey towards earning a square meal.
