Answer 1

$\huge{\dag} \: {\underline{\boxed{\sf{\pink{ Answer }}}}}$

• My Mom belonged to the Pre-Independence era, born in 1943, in the idyllic small town built by the Britishers, for their booming oil extraction business, a place called Digboi, situated in remote Assam. Her father, happened to have migrated from Bangladesh in those days to this small town where business was flourishing and jobs galore. His education found him a place in the All Boys’ School set up by the Assam Oil Division for the offspring’s of the employees of Assam Oil Refinery and true to his stature in those days when teachers used to be more of an authoritarian figure than a friendly mentor, he was a strict disciplinarian.

• He was a man of principles and in those days when having half a dozen children was the usual norm, he was proud of his three daughters, Mom being the eldest. His strict demean our was however a bit off-putting for my sensitive mother, in her initial years and much of her early upbringing was done in the hands of my paternal widowed aunt, who shared home with them, after her husband’s untimely demise along with her sons.
