“Indian middle -class houses do not raise you to be in good health”: a professional truth bomb in marketing

What if it was not your biggest health struggle over the power of will – but the way you grew up? In the incendiary LinkedIn function, Shankan Sharma is reflected in a brutal perception: the Indian middle class, despite all its discipline and ambition, her children never knew that their bodies are important.

“I was wondering why I was facing goodness a lot,” he wrote. “Then you struck me – I came from a culture that never taught me my body.”

From skipping breakfast to normalization of fatigue, she puts a bare Sharma how health is marginalized in homes that have given priority to signs, marriage, ethics on mind, movement and mental wellness.

“The middle layer houses do not raise you to be in good health. It raises you to be safe. Be obedient. To be employed. Don’t be strong, ambitious or aware.”

Instead of rest, there were treatments. Instead of consciousness, there was avoiding. “We grew up in homes that fear the diagnosis more than illness,” Sharma wrote, noting how real sleep, bowel health and stress management were not part of growth. Pain has been corrected, incomprehensible. Burning is wearing an honor badge.

This publication does not withdraw punching in describing long-term losses of this cultural neglect-disk issues, diabetes, insomnia, stubborn weight-all framed on the late body rebellion after years of ignoring them.

“We are building functions. We raise families. We are putting a mark in every society. But the body we carry through everything? It was ignored. Until it screams.”

Sharma suggests that treatment is not only with habits but with language. “Perhaps the power of the will we lack. Perhaps the vocabulary.” Because in a world in which adults are often measured by fatigue, it argues that fitness is not luxury – it is survival.
