"This is household work, not a gender issue," argued Jaanu. He was aiming to convince a guest that helping his daughter cut vegetables did not make him less of a man. The guest insisted that the job should have been done by Monwara (Jaanu’s wife) and that by doing such a job he was lowering his prestige. Jaanu did not buy his argument that day. He does not till date. He firmly believes that men and women are equal partners and if both work outside the home then they should share the household work between them. He also believes that if men share the household work then women should shoulder financial responsibility to run the home.
