For what reasons was Bholi sent to school? How did Bholi’s teacher play
an important role in changing the course of her life?
Answers
Answer:
because bholi neither beautiful nor intelligent as her other sister
Answer:
As Ramlal was a government official and the Tehsildar had asked Ramlal to send
his daughters to the new school in his village, Bholi was sent to school just to satisfy the
Tehsildar. As Ramlal’s wife felt that sending girls to school affected their marriage
prospects adversely, she did not want to send any of her daughters to school. However,
Bholi, with her pock-marked face and dull brain would not be possible to get married
anyway, so Bholi’s parents decided to send her to school to satisfy the Tehsildar.
Bholi stammered and was just a bundle of nerves when she attended school in the
beginning. Her teacher treated her kindly and encouraged her to have confidence and
be bold. She taught her to read and write and made her an independent girl who was
aware of her rights. Thus, she changed her life.
