Some parents do not teach their kids the manners to behave in public places.
As far as I can remember my parents would have beaten me up or scolded me if I bothered someone intentionally but parents these days do not care about what their kids do. Parents these days do not discipline their kids. An Indian American was traveling on a flight and a woman with two sons sat behind his seat. After some time, he felt something behind his seat, he looked behind and found out that the kid has been resting his feet on the back of his seat. He told the kid’s mother that her son in making him uncomfortable.
The mother listened to him and her son took his feet off the seat. After some time, he felt something again. This time, the kid was hitting the seat with his hands. OP asked the mother to stop her son again and the woman gave him a side eye but the kid stopped. After some time, he felt something again and this time the kid was opening and closing the tray of the seat again and again. OP had enough of it, he lost his calm and yelled at the woman. Scroll down to read what he said to the woman.

OP’s comments on the lady were a little extra but the lady should have stopped her son from bothering a stranger. These are basic manners every person should teach to their kids.
10. When OP said “they are from a village”, he was not literally implying that word.
