choosing to stay at home I'm Natalie Kearney and this is assignment Asia [Music] welcome to the program it's not all that unusual these days to see people wearing turbans tilling the fields here in rural Georgia what was once a very unusual destination has now become much more attractive for Indian farmers looking for opportunities abroad dozens of Punjabi farmers have settled here helping make the agricultural sector in this country grow but as my report shows it's not always been an easy transition it's the first day of Easter a time for celebration in this devoutly Christian country which lies at the crossroads of Asia and Europe traditional Christian artifacts lined the streets for the occasion yet in between the historic buildings and cobblestone streets is what seems to be another world this is the small town of signagi and rural Eastern Georgia a fairytale environment really and not one you would expect to find a community of Sikh farmers but that's exactly what exists just a mile into the valley the lush landscape of Georgia's vast a lisanna valley overlooked by the majestic Caucasus Mountains in the Kahili region is an ideal place for farming Georgian farmers have been tilling these lands for centuries but in the last five years an increasing number of migrants from South Asia have come to cultivate them as well farmers from India's Punjab State here in sonora village indians have converted a humble house into a temple with land prices a fraction of what they are back home these men move to rural Georgia dreaming to start or expand their economic opportunities they consider themselves reformists farmers willing to take risks and step out of traditional ways of doing things to increase their chances of success a greek ultra makes up almost 10% of Georgia's nearly seven hundred ninety billion US dollar economy but despite Georgia's abundance of agricultural land local farmers have limited ability to develop them and so the country has to

year I bought a land in in the last of 2012 and I made all operations and saw the land and when I get the crop the expenses were more than the income so I thought that I must try in future and let's see what going to happen so how did you come to know about Georgia from divisions yet window moved to Georgia in 2012 but unlike most Indian farmers here who would opt for traditional wheat or corn fields vendor but vineyards you have grapes black grapes here it's called SAP Arab Indian and is that a popular grape in the country yes it's very popular grape seed in the country because it's very expensive more than white grapes they are giving good money everybody said these grapes are very good here so we choose this thing so your vendor took the leap into a crop he had no previous

outskirts of Delhi in his village Lumpur Wrestling is a tradition they all grew up with [Music] the steam kaity Hostelling here Marie look at the history of wrestling in India we have had it from the times of the Maharajah's and the Mahabharat it used to be called - one month per youth it's in our culture it is in our blood for a boy in the village wrestling is the first game he begins to play he

wrestlers are higher you are a horrible job hey hey who's bigger pair the youth goes to the wrestling schools wrestles goes forward participating in competitions in international competitions national level competitions the wrestlers who win gold and silver at the national level competitions are given good government jobs and a fat salary their lives change after that meaning the wrestling is a small game meant to keep you healthy and that very game completely changes your life but for every winner there are several losers Manoj Kumar had abandoned any hope of being a champion in the sport and was working in his family farm in Lumpur when a friend suggested it is imposing physique and personality was well suited for Delhi's security industry with my mother kaha be mad he said he goes to these events as a bouncer he gets paid well gets to be in a great ambience and be part of a world that we villagers could not even imagine come join me he said so I started this work I started a company of my own called Vig intelligence now I work through my company I do events your security too big big celebrities big big industrialists Manoj Kumar says men from wrestling schools used to be given priority for recruits into the Indian Army bah-bah-bah bahah they knew that these are strong men from the villages with a strong body and a brave heart they do not back out on the face of danger but now it isn't easy to get jobs with the army or the government and so the Restless started looking at the private sector and the security business where there is a growing demand for bounces the landscape in India's national capital region known as NCR has undergone tremendous change in recent years many farmers had become very rich overnight by selling their land but with new wealth in their hands I have also been the subject of complaints people say they often get into drunken brawls making unwelcome advances towards women and try to bribe law enforcers crimes in the city increased and so do the need for security in doing his job Manoj Kumar has to cross from one world to another [Music] he grew up in a village where the culture is patriarchal and conservative very different from that in the pulse for instance it is customary for married women there to cover their faces in the presence of an older male so let me hear what they have me pretty particular the women in the city have their kitty parties they go out shopping drinking etc the women in our villages are not like that they don't even like to go to the cities they are happy to spend their whole lives going about their domestic chores and derive happiness from little things as much as Manoj Kumar loves his wrestling schools and village life he does not regret choosing a career as a bouncer in the security industry ballet Villa Peggy Hager may I say he Kaito Mejia believes in the Gujarati I feel that if I had just continued to work as a farmer I would still be stuck there but my life turned away from it towards the security business now my lifestyle has also changed my manner of speaking has also changed I keep hoping that in future my children will also have very good carriers and I feel proud that I am protecting someone's life and that they feel safe when I'm standing next to them [Music] as a knight rages on with more deafening music in her skies Manoj Kumar shows an impressive figure standing tall over the crowd promising to protect them from violence [Music] but why she and others like him take pride in their new life a few young Indian wrestlers continue to pursue their Olympic dreams not certain if one day a doe would end up protecting the wealthy in the cities for assignment YCJA this is Jodi kirat reporting from Delhi bouncers in New Delhi are mostly men but Manoj Kumar's company has now begun accepting applications from females and even plans to train them in wrestling when we return why some career women in China are choosing to become full-time homemakers [Music] more than two-thirds of Chinese women work full-time they come from a generation that places big importance on having a job so much so to stay home to rear ones child is sometimes seen as a waste of life but some women particularly those with children have dared to go against that tide and have chosen to stay home to raise their families Jennifer Bragg reports from Beijing Mandarin can't see a

and people who didn't work deserve to be despised during the 1970s the employment rate in China was up to 90 percent so in that generations eyes staying at home to raise a child is not a real job it's
