Let's see other side of the story and judge yourself. I am sure, admin should " AWARD" FIVESTAR for my post too, if he/she intelligent enough.
I would like to comment on his colums.
1- PAKISTANI DEALING WITH HOME SERVANTS
In Western World, due to equal distribution of wealth......We have progressive tax system. The more you earn, more you pay.
If someone earning $ 70,000 - $ 100,000......still he/she may not be able to hire a driver / cleaner ( Kaam Vali Ma-ey ) full time house maid. With this income range, they end up paying 30,000 - 50,000 in taxes. Since they are in high income bracket, they can't get any GST refund / Child Benefit as well.
What is happening in Pakistan
Pakistan- I am wondering how come a family income is 25000-50000, people can affotd a cleaner or a driver ?
I have seen many Pakistani's in Canada who miss Pakistan big time since they were enjoying laxurious life and comfort of "Army of Servants'?
What Javed Chaudhry did not mention / Omitted ( Intectual courruption )
- Is there is any rules and regulation for employers who have home workers ?
- Do they get proper compensation ?
- Most of the time, they are at their disposal for 24 hours...DO they get overtime?
- How many days do they work ?
- Do they get mdical leave/ off days and vacation ?
- How long is there working hours ?
- What benifits do they have from their employer ?
- Is ther any pension contribution ?
Pakistan meiN her admi GUNAHGAR hey jo GHAREEBOON ka Khulley Aam IStehsal ker raha hey.
Javed Chaudhry himself is not a professional Journalist who has not done any research...or hasb mamool Column Thook diya. This is pretty normal for URDU Columnist.
Interstingly, people are impressed too. You can't blame them. Since they are so immune to opression.
