What are the Sangat's thoughts on having servant/maid/paid help in their household?
A bit random, but many of you who have visited India and other countries will be aware that it's quite common for those who are well off to have servant who does many household chores/work like cooking, cleaning etc.
Some families have a chauffeur also
These jobs can be well paid compared to what they might make doing something else, but would be nothing compared to wages in many Western countries.
I personally if I could afford, would have a chef. But only if I really trusted them (an Amritdhari Singh or Kaur maybe). Overall however, I don't like the idea, because you can never really really trust others. Risk of poisoning etc
In Panjab, one of my relatives had cash and jewellery stolen by their naukar who ran off to Nepal (was caught)
Thoughts ?
