another indian here: probably not. given that indian parents are obsessed with their social status since most people of that generation were raised in a traumatic environment as well (that was also obsessed with the rest of the world's perception of them, that took away individual intellectual/emotional/identity agency), so they will likely keep seething on:

being "abandoned" by their children
while seething on the very existence of their children or obsessed with working on "damage control" with their society
