The Story in Brief
Noida-based entrepreneur Rohit Gupta says he will not call his daughter for 15 days after taking her to a boarding school. In a LinkedIn post, Gupta said regular calls could make it harder for her to form friendships, establish a routine and settle into her new surroundings. He said the separation would be toughest for him, but was intended to help her become independent.
Gupta said he had attended boarding school himself. His decision drew resistance from his family, while social media users offered mixed personal experiences, including support for limited contact and stricter parenting. LiveMint reports that he had taken his daughter to see the new Spider-Man film before leaving her at school. Gupta is the founder and COO of College Vidya, according to Hindustan Times.
The Indian Opinion
The loudest reactions turn this into either proof that strict parenting always works or evidence of emotional neglect. Neither follows from one father’s post. A boarding-school transition needs independence, but also safety, consent and a reliable way to seek help. The useful test is simple: did the school and family agree on contact rules, and can the daughter reach home when needed?
