DEPENDENCE ON DOMESTIC HELP.
Jun 19, 2009
India-a free independent country which makes us believe that we should not be dependent on others completely contradicts the statement. Its a shame that we need to depend on our domestic help for doing our work.
Basic work like…washing our own linen is a pain to us. Even though we are the ones who use them. Cleaning our own house is a big task but living in it isn’t….cooking our own meals is time consuming but eating it is fun.
In a fast paced environment where one has to do so much then why rely for such petit things on our servants…why have another person working for us.
If one really wants to learn something from Americans, then why not learn to work like them. They too go to offices and slog at work but still have the time to get back home and clean the dishes and do the laundary .They don’t need any servants for help. Then why do we stoop so low.
Apart from this what concerns me even more is the way these ppl are ill treated. We must realize we do not own them and need to treat them well. Its shocking to find out how children as young as 6, to ppl as old as 80 treat the domestic help. Every one of us knows in some way or the other that they have misused their financial powers to dominate on the poor.
I recently read one of the most highlighted case of Shiney Ahuja,actor alleged rape charges of a domestic help on NDTV.COM and found it extremely shocking.Im sure there are several more cases in our not so celebrity lives that have similar leads.
I often wonder what amusement do ppl derive out of this harshness and cruelty towards the ppl who do so much for us.
As a sincere request to everyone reading this. I would want all of you to go home and make a difference today. Slavery was banned ages ago and I urge you to be kind to the domestic help and help yourself on your own wherever possible.
