Answer 2

In the poem, the poet has described a contrast in the views of younger generation and the old generation. The old generation has a concern and attachment towards ecology.

• The question has been asked from the poem ecology by AK Ramanujan.
• The poet's mother often used to have severe headaches, as she was suffering from migraine. The poet thought it was due to the Red Champak tree.
• Fort the poet, there was no need of red trees. There pollens were polluting the environment and were also entering the houses and even the human body.
• The pollens were also the reason for the migraine pain experienced by his mother. Since he had no emotions attached to the ecology, he decides to cut them down.
• The perspective of the mother, on the other hand, was contrary to his views.  It was not just a tree for her but a good omen for the house. She used to bid almighty and daughters flowers from the champak tree. That's what makes her look upon her misery as a small sacrifice she gave to tree.
