Answer 2

b)Mulk Raj Anand has introduced us to a family that belonged to the villages of ancient India. It was of a time when the relationship between parents and children was nor always informal, and the relationship was outlined with a great amount of respect and strictness. The father's word was always the law. The parents shown here, display the typical character of a tyrannical father and a mother who acts as the buffer between her husband and child. The little boy, who was seen to be extremely afraid of his father, did not have the courage to ask him for toys or sweets because he feared facing his anger. While the mother is seen to handle a sad child very tactfully by diverting his attention to the bounties of nature. The two of them constantly worry about the safety of the child, and keep telling him to keep abreast with them.
