Contexte culturel
The concept of 'Kirat Karo' (Honest Labor) is central. Working is seen as a form of worship and a way to connect with the community. In countries like Canada and the UK, 'kamm' often refers to 'shifts' in factories or driving, reflecting the immigrant experience. Work is seasonal and tied to the harvest. 'Kamm' during Vaisakhi (harvest festival) is intense and communal. With the rise of the IT sector in Mohali and Chandigarh, 'kamm' is increasingly associated with 'Work from Home' (WFH) and tech roles.
