I don't know where this thread is heading, which Bollywood movie you guys are talking about. But if I had to twist the scene a little bit.
How about YOU, your MOTHER and your CHILD in a sinking boat, who would you save first? These questions might sound stupid to begin with, but personally I believe it says a lot about certain group of people, culture and the value inherited in them. Here's a breakdown of the answer.
Save MOTHER first - This will be the answer of cultures where parents rule the society.Care less about future, past values and present life is more important. They follow the old values and live in a homogenous society, marring among themselves, following same religion and practices, mostly living in a joint family, very loosely organized society in terms of politics, law and security.
Save the KID first - Independent, much more organized society with desire to succeed, think outside of the box, more creative. They beleive in future more than the present and past. Youth make their own decision, live the way they want, very diverse society in terms of religion, values "action and consequences", stability in terms of law and security, more powerful and successful as a nation.
It all depends where you come from and your values.
