Question

How was the narrator different from others who faced discrimination?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When did Bama first come to know of the social discrimination faced by the people of her community? (Delhi 2009)

Answer:

Bama was in the third standard and she used to walk from her school to her home. One day she saw an elderly man carrying a small packet that contained some eatables. He held the packet by its strings without touching it and extended it to the landlord who opened it and began to eat. She thought it was something funny but Annan, her elder brother, told her that the man was not being funny and he was in fact from a low caste because of which he couldn’t touch the food packet.
