Bholi was the seventh child of her parents. she was ignored by her family,due to many reason.her siblings who were normal were given more preference than compared to her.due to above reasons bholi became an introvert,afraid to speak freely,even in her family it remained. but it is prime duty of parents and teachers to give priority to such handicapped children. there should be no discrimination on gender i.e. among boys and girls.both should be provided good education.boys should not get first preference of education in good schools and girls in ordinary school. handcrafted children should not be ill-treated and considered inferior.society should follow the example of bholi teachers who encouraged her with great love and affection and made her stand on her own feet the world bravely with self confidence.
It is absolutely true social attitude of people influences a child’s development quite considerably. Where positive and encouraging attitude promotes wholesome development, discouraging attitude has adverse effects on children’s development.
In the chapter Bholi, the protagonist Bholi is influenced negatively by the social attitude of people around her. She was a neglected child. There were many reasons behind it. She was the youngest daughter of Numberdar Ramlal. When she was just ten months old, she had fallen off a coat which had affected her brain. As a result, she remained backward. At the age of two a severe attack of small-pox that had disfigured her badly. She learnt to speak quite late, at the age of five. And when she spoke, she stammered. Though her name was Sulekha, everyone just called her Bholi.
As a result she became quite introvert. Utmost care should be taken while dealing with introvert and special children. They should not be discriminated at all.
