i. Who has imposed the baggage on the child?
d. All of these
Everyone– middlemen, politicians and bureaucrats– has played a part in ignoring the condition of the bangle makers, as a result of which generation after generation gets stuck with the same work.
ii. Which baggage is being referred to?
d. Baggage of the bangle industry
The ‘baggage’ here refers to the difficult conditions that the bangle makers face. They cannot escape the ‘heavy’ responsibility of running their households and have to work hard even if it leaves them blind.
iii. Like whom did he accept the baggage?
b. His father
He had to accept the ‘baggage’ of being a bangle maker just because his father was a bangle maker. He is expected to take it up as his profession too.
iv. What hazard is associated with working for the bangle industry?
a. Losing eyesight
The workers of the bangle industry often lose their eyesight because the dust that is released while polishing bangles affects their eyes, as does the abnormal adaptation of their eyes to the dark than to the light.
