Ghar ka kaam bhi kaam hai: dikhne wala aur na dikhne wala
School ke form mein 'Mother's occupation' ke aage kai log likh dete hain 'kuch nahi, housewife'. Kya sach mein 'kuch nahi'?
Socho pehle… phir dekho jawab
Nahi! Khana, safai, paani, bachchon aur bujurgon ki dekhbhaal — yeh poore din ka kaam hai. Bas iske paise nahi milte, isliye ise 'unpaid work' kehte hain aur yeh aksar dikhai nahi deta.
Kavya ke school project ka sawaal tha: 'Tumhare ghar mein kaun kitna kaam karta hai?' Usne ek din apni maa ke kaam ka time-table banaya — subah 5 baje se raat tak. Phir form mein 'kuch nahi' kaat kar likha: 'Homemaker — din bhar ghar chalati hain.' Kavya ne us din se apne bhai ke saath bartan ka kaam baant liya.
Paid aur unpaid kaam: dukaan, factory ya office ke kaam ke paise milte hain; ghar ka kaam bina paise ke hota hai. Hamare samaj mein yeh kaam aksar mahilaon aur ladkiyon ke hisse aata hai — ise samaj ki banayi 'bhoomika' (gender role) kehte hain, koi kudrati niyam nahi. Isliye ladke aur purush bhi yeh kaam seekh aur baant sakte hain.
Bharat mein yeh sawaal purana hai: All India Women's Conference (AIWC) ne 1939 mein hi kaha tha ki ghar sambhalne wali ka kaam bhi factory ke kaam jitna mehnat ka hai. Aage Class 9 mein yahi sawaal aayega: desh ki aay (GDP) mein yeh kaam kyun nahi gina jaata?
Ghar pe try karo
Ghar ke ek sadasya se poochh kar unke ek din ka time-table banao: kis samay kaun sa kaam. Paid kaam ko ek rang se aur unpaid kaam ko doosre rang se ghero. Phir unke time-table mein se ek kaam chuno jo tum is hafte apne naam karoge.
Wow!
Agar ghar ka kaam ek din ruk jaaye, toh poore mohalle ki subah ruk jaaye — sabse zaroori kaam kabhi-kabhi sabse kam dikhta hai!
