I’ve only ever met one Indian above 6 feet and he was an IT guy, so it’s hard to believe that India is really some kind of fertile ground for developing NBA talent.

The message given to the child implicitly is, “Listen, I know you are upset with your sister and I’m making you give a phony apology, but just go along with it because I would feel irresponsible as a parent if you didn’t. If you don’t do it, you are going to be in trouble. I’m going to punish you if you don’t act in an insincere way to your sister just to keep up appearances of civility. I’m not going to explain to you the value of being honest. It’s important to be honest, unless it comes to giving an apology you don’t believe in, then just lie. Oh, and bullying is bad. Just ignore the fact that I’m forcing you to apologize against your will. It’s not bullying when I do it, just you.”

I know this is a basketball board, but I’m really against corrupt parenting practices.
