A. Read the passage carefully and answer these questions.
When my maternal uncle was alive, his only son quietly made plans to settle in Germany
with his wife. Without informing his father or sister her bought tickets and sold all movable things
at home. A week before he left, everyone was informed of his plans. People criticised him for
abandoning his father. The married daughter who was settled in Bhopal, shifted toi Delhi to look
after her father.Ayear later the father was admitted to a private hospital and died. The son came
from Germany, paid the bills and performed all the death ceremonies.
People now said that after all, he had come all the way so he was not a bad son. No word
about how he had neglected his father or how his sister had to disrupt her personal life to take
care of old Dad.
This is what life teaches every daughter. That our society values a son more because he
has the religious sanction to perform death ceremonies and grant them liberation. A daughter
may have given them love, care, sensitivity, time, service but the son gets preference because
he carries forward the family name and performs 'shraadh'. He may be uncaring, arrogant and
indifferent but for parents, a son is their treasure.
Two years back in our neighbourhood a man died without leaving a will. His only son sold
the bungalow and took away his sick mother without informing his three sisters who then
approached the courts for a share of the property. Is this the family structure we boast of to the
world? Where do love and laughter vanish when siblings become adults?Are we right in blaming
a newly for poisoning a son's brain? Love for a daughter has to come from within. Saints
repeatedly clarify that death ceremonies need not be performed only by one's own son. And
what guarantee is there that a son will perform the 'shraadh'? If parents do not reciprocate a
daughter's love, wont' Heaven, which claims to be just and fair, reproches them for their
insensitivity?
Answer these questions.
i) Why did people criticise the son?
ii) The girl shifted from Bhopal to Delhi, Why?
iii) People changed their views about the son later on why? do you agree with their views?
iv) Daughters are the gifts for the parents. Do you agree? Give reasons.
v) Do you think that society is insensitive to a daughter's love for her parents? Give an
example.
