shaheediyan Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 He won't be paid a decent wage sadly, but we can't judge or observe traditions in India with western eyes, his job is not such a big deal there over there, and he is probably appreciative he has it. Our great grandparents (and even grandparents in many cases) kept their Maja(n) and would have done the same on a much scaled down basis to provide cooking fuel, fertiliser, building material (mixed with straw etc) amongst other things. In those days, most people in Punjab were poor i.e. ksaan, thrkhaan, lohaar, shimbai, chumaar etc, and the recent (last few generations) fad of having servants was not so common, people did most chores for themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
