  1.  @anmolpatel793  and that went right over you head. There is a fine line between moulding a childs behaviour using a carrot stick policy and physical/mental/emotional abuse. I am an Indian and i've gotten my fare share and i wouldnt say that it was good, but the lessons i learned under pain stay with me, call it traumaif you want, but when i look back irs not resentment but gratitude i have for learning what i have, love and affection go hand in hand with punishment, the cost of too much freedom without repercussions will undoubtedly lead to reckless behaviour at a crucial developmental stage, most indian parents at times dole out punishments for perceived slights, that pretty much defeats the purpose and use of punishments. You seem to be under the impression that punishment automatically implies phyisical torture, perhaps your experience is different, also the liberal wing in india has been critical of corporal punishment for children, they are only partly right, it depends on how the parents use it and the child's temperament.
