The Idea of being cheap ( Simply, What is izzat?)




Consider these two stories.


1) Chinglai-ngamba is a farmer. He earns his livelihood earnestly. He lives a Proud life of being self sufficient and not depending on anyone else. He bosses to everyone how he is able to effort square meals a day without anyone's help. For him, asking help from someone or getting something for free from the Govt. is cheap/ izzat leitaba mee or simply arem apa paamba mee. |
