The community lunch that takes place during Guru Nanak Jayanti is known as Langar.

SOLUTION

The Langar or free kitchen was introduced first in the Sikh religion. The idea behind this occasion is that all people would sit on the floor together as equals to eat the same simple food. It is here that all people high or low, rich or poor, male or female sit in the same row to share and enjoy food together. Each and every one in a Gurudwara contributes his share by lending a helping hand selflessly. Some arrange for the materials, some donate money while others help in cleaning the place. Many participate in the langar by making food, by serving or by washing utensils in the kitchen.

It would not be fair if only one person made all the decisions in a family. All the family members should be involved in taking important decisions. Everyone’s view should be taken into consideration.

All members in a family have their own experiences, interests, choices or ambitions. So, all should have freedom at least to discuss individual plans with the family members.

It is good to have freedom to work on your own decisions but we should also welcome the suggestions of our elders. Because our elders are always our well-wishers.

This is called “Gender Discrimination or Gender Bias”. Discrimination against girls and women anywhere in the world is a devastating reality. As per the story, female child (Prathibha) has been treated inferior to a male child (Sandeep or Sanjay) and this is deeply engraved in the mind of the female child. Some argue that due to this inferior treatment, females fail to understand their rights. Many times, victims of gender discrimination lose motivation and morale which is necessary to perform a task effectively.

Evidence shows that in many families of India girls are given less food and health care than boys. They are given less medical attention, fewer consultations and visits to the doctor and are often taken very late to the hospital in case of an emergency.
