Question

Define the following:

a. Dharamshalas.
b. Maternal Mortality.
c. Gender Inequality.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Dharamshalas: A dharamshala, also written as dharmashala is a public resthouse or shelter. Just as sarai are for travellers and caravans, dharamshalas are built for religious travellers at pilgrimage sites. In Nepal there are dharamshalas especially built for pilgrims as well as dharamshalas for locals.
2. Maternal Mortality: The death of a mother during pregnancy, childbirth or immediately afterwards is a tragic event. The chances of a child surviving such an extreme birth are compromised. In literature, the death of a new mother is a powerful device: it removes one character and places the surviving child into an often hostile environment which has to be overcome.
3. Gender Inequality: Gender inequality is the social process by which men and women are not treated as equals. The treatment may arise from distinctions regarding biology, psychology, or cultural norms. Some of these distinctions are empirically-grounded while others appear to be socially constructed.
