India is a collectivist society (collectivism vs. individualism)

I don’t know if this is relevant here. But here it is.

I was promised at 18 that after I finish my Engineering I would be free to pursue my passion which is to study Economics.

I am 24 now and my parents are forcing me to take up Masters from USA/Canada (again in Engineering related field) with the promise that 3-4 years after my Masters and after paying off my education loans, I am free to pursue my passion. They wanted to send me abroad because the children of their friends also started moving abroad and settling there.

From stopping me from wearing “shorts” to the choice of my fucking underwear (I use the ones with fancy designs and expensive fabric) and I am a guy. Can’t imagine how horrible must it be for girls.

Fuck you Indian collectivism.
