Bholi’s teacher helped her overcome social barriers by encouraging and motivating her. How do you think you can contribute towards changing the social attitudes illustrated in this story?
Youngsters can bring changes by challenging unjust and regressive customs and traditions that prevail in our Indian society. I would take the initiatives to educate people and spread awareness about the futility of such customs. I would also take steps to empower those who are from weak and marginalized sections of society. I would mobilize the support of others in attempts to build a community where everyone is equal. I know that this can not be achieved overnight, but small yet steady steps in this direction taken by youths can bring a change albeit slowly.
Should girls be aware of their rights, and assert them? Should girls and boys have the same rights, duties and privileges? What are some of the ways in which society treats them differently? When we speak of ‘human rights’, do we differentiate between girls’ rights and boys’ rights?
I believe that everyone irrespective of gender, caste and race should be given equal privileges. However, girls, especially those from lower social sections, should know and defend their rights with assertiveness because it is common to see that they are deprived of their right to education and be independent. There are many ways our society rooted in traditions treat boys and girls differently. Boys are given more liberty while there are many restrictions on the girl. She is not allowed to make an informed decision related to her career and higher education. The goal of the family is to get her married. And she doesn't get encouragement even from her parents. The situation is changing but in conservative settings discrimination on the basis of gender is definitely seen even today.
Do you think the characters in the story were speaking to each other in English? If not, in which language were they speaking? (You can get clues from the names of the persons and the non English words used in the story.
The story is set in a rural background and the people seem to be not much educated. This makes it clear that English cannot be the language of communication. The names of characters such as Bholi, Sulekha, Lakshmi, Ramlal further point
The protagonist, Bholi didn’t even know what a school was and had seen English words for the first time which further indicates that English was not common among the people of the village.
