Question

Why could the grandmother not get formal education ?

Answer 1

The grandmother was not formally educated but she supported the author's education. In the village, she would accompany the author to school everyday, taking the trouble of arranging and preparing his slate, chalk and ink pot into a bundle. When he was sent to an English medium school, the grandmother would ask him about the lessons taught, even though she couldn't understand the nuances of western education. She was not in favour of music lessons, but she never openly expressed her opinions or prevented the author from pursuing them. Similarly, when the author was sent abroad to study, his grandmother was very supportive.
