Question

46. What is the message that the story of Matrigupta conveys? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The author wants to deliver an important message to the human being through the story that the system of education is faulty. It must be changed and there must be perfect liberty of learning. The bird has been introduced as a metaphor by the author. He says that the learners or the children are like the birds and the bird cannot be taught having trapped in a golden cage. Any kind of pressure or punishment cannot be effective in teaching and knowledge cannot be inserted forcefully such as the pundits inserted the bits of papers inside the stomach of the bird through its beak which would block its throat and became the cause of its death inspite of making it educated. When the bird was free and lived in open nest at that time it would hopped and sing effectively. So there ought to be perfect liberty and natural environment for learning
