India's maid culture and social implications

Its a very common practice in India specially southern city Hyderabad to have maids helping housewives and elderly people with daily chores. As per the Muqaddimah well known book on economics in IvyLeague circle the author argues that maids/servent profession is not natural to human beings and its hard to find someone with basic qualities being honest and hardworking.
