I think it's a mixed situation. While some genres of story books might be less popular, there are still many people who love physical story books and they haven't completely died out. It depends on the audience and the type of stories.
Yes, they kind of are. With the rise of digital media and e-books, traditional story books are facing tough competition.
In certain traditional male - only communities, like some tribal or military - like groups in history, spanking could be a way to enforce group norms. If a member deviated from what was expected in terms of loyalty or following rules, it was a quick and physical way to bring them back in line.

After that, introduce the stallion and its current state of being. Is it at peace or is it on edge? Maybe it's just woken up from a long slumber and senses that something is different in its world. Then, gradually build up the plot from there.
I know of a best friend fight that happened because of a missed birthday party. One friend had planned a big party and the other friend didn't show up without any notice. The one who threw the party felt really hurt and betrayed. They fought for days. But then the friend who missed the party explained that there was a family emergency. After that, they forgave each other and their friendship became even stronger.
Desi Hindi stories often have strong cultural roots. They usually incorporate elements of Indian traditions, values, and social norms. For example, they might feature the joint - family system, caste hierarchies in a historical context, and religious beliefs.
It improves vocabulary. By reading a wide range of books, you encounter new words and learn how to use them in context. This is very helpful for communication, both in writing and speaking.
