뜻
Doing math or settling accounts.
문화적 배경
The 'Arhtiya' (commission agent) is a central figure in Punjab's agrarian economy. Their entire business revolves around 'Hisāb-kitāb' with farmers. A clear account is a sign of a trustworthy businessman. In the Sikh tradition of Langar, the concept of 'Hisāb' is intentionally set aside. Food is given freely to all, regardless of status, symbolizing a realm beyond worldly accounting. During Punjabi weddings, families keep a meticulous 'Hisāb' of 'Shagun' (monetary gifts) received, so they can return an equal or greater amount when the other family has a wedding. Settling a 'Hisāb' can sometimes be a euphemism for resolving a long-standing family feud or rivalry, often seen in Punjabi cinema.
