My grandad and many punjabis (mainly based in North-West India or East Pakistan) used the expression Good man di laltein. Laltein in Hindi is lantern. From what I understand it’s a hangover of the empire .
The story is as follows, based on what I have read and heard from family (source):
A blind man carried a lantern ('lalten' in Hindi) as he walked through the forest.
People looked at him bemused as he'd walk by every night, realising he couldn't benefit from the light he was carrying.
When approached and asked why, the blind man responded:
'The lantern is for others to see in darkness. It is for those who otherwise, would be lost.'
HOPE THIS WILL HELP U
