41. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
One day when I was in the fifth standard at the Rameswaram Elementary School, a
new teacher came to our class. I used to wear a cap which marked me as a Muslim, and
I always sat in the front row next to Ramanadha Sastry, who wore the sacred thread.
The new teacher could not stomach a Hindu priest's son sitting with a Muslim boy In
accordance with our social ranking as the new teacher saw it, I was asked to go
and sit
on the back bench. I felt very sad, and so did Ramanadha Sastry. He looked utterly
downcast as I shifted to my seat in the last row. The image of him weeping when I
shifted to the last row left a lasting impression on me.

(b) What could the new teacher not tolerate ?
(c) What did the new teacher ask the speaker to do?
