Question

"the whole world is bought by man bit by bit" - analyse with reference to the story the rightful inheritors of the earth​

Answer 1

Man thinks that the world is his and tries to capture forgetting that it belongs to other species as well.

Explanation:

• The story 'The Rightful Inheritors of The Earth' is a memoir by Vaikum Mohammed Basheer.

• In the story the writer shifts to a new place and he finds that the coconuts that are growing in his garden are being destroyed by bats.

• They come to know that the bats live in the nearby temple. The writer's wife decides to kill the bats. However she is stopped by the people living there, who believe that bats are the incarnation of their forefathers. Basheer comments that the bats may not be someone's incarnation, but they inherit the resources of the earth just like human beings.

• Humans believe that the whole world belongs to them and they can use it any way. They often forget that other animals own the earth as much as we do. The fruits, flowers, rivers etc belong to all the species residing on the planet and humans are not the only Inheritors.
