Question

Read the extract taken from the chapter-‘My Childhood’ and answer the questions that follow:

Every child is born, with some inherited characteristics, into a specific socio-economic and emotional environment,

and trained in certain ways by figures of authority. I inherited honesty and self-discipline from my father; from my

mother, I inherited faith in goodness and deep kindness and so did my three brothers and sister. I had three close

friends in my childhood Ramanadha Sastry, Aravindan and Sivaprakasan. All these boys were from orthodox Hindu

Brahmin families. As children, none of us ever felt any difference amongst ourselves because of our religious

differences and upbringing. In fact, Ramanadha Sastry was the son of Pakshi Lakshmana Sastry, the high priest of

the Rameswaram temple. Later, he took over the priesthood of the Rameswaram temple from his

father; Aravindan went into the business of arranging transport for visiting pilgrims; and Sivaprakasan became a

catering contractor for the Southern Railways.
