An X post by a woman said her friend paid ₹2.5 lakh for her son's Class 8 Japan school trip, besides ₹50,000 for shopping. "He bought a limited-edition branded shoe for ₹19,000 in Japan...Is it any surprise people have only one kid?" she wrote. "It's all peer pressure," one person commented, while another said, "Every child deserves experiences worth remembering."
