Think About it🔥
1. Bholi had many apprehensions about going to school . What made her feel that she was to a better place than her home ? ( स्कूल में जाने के बारे में भोली को अनेक चिंताएँ थीं । उसे कैसे महसूस हुआ कि वह अपने घर से अधिक अच्छी जगह पर जा रही थी ? )
Ans . Bholi was frightened when her father took her to school . She did not know what a school was like . Generally Bholi had been neglected at her home . New clothes had never been made for her No one cared to mend or wash her clothes . But when she was taken to school , she was bathed . Oil was rubbed into her dry and matted hair . This made Bholi feel that she was going to a better place than her home .
2. How did Bholi's teacher play an important role in changing the course of her life ? ( भोली की अध्यापिका ने भोली की जीवन की धारा को बदलने के लिए क्या महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई ? )
Ans . Bholi was a backward child . Her face was disfigured . She looked ugly . She coud not utter even her name . She stammered badly while speaking . She was neglected by all at her home . When she was sent to school , her teacher came in her life . She was very affectionate and sympathetic . She affectionately encouraged Bholi . She soothed her and assured that one day she would be able to speak without the slightest stammering . She inspired Bholi . She infused in her new hope and new life . She helped her a lot in building great confidence in her . Now she was no longer a dumb cow . She boldly refused to marry Bishamber , because he was mean , greedy and contemptuous . She decided to teach in the same school where she had learnt so much . Thus , the teacher played an important role in Bholi's life .
3. Why did Bholi at first agree to an unequal match ? Why did she later reject the marriage ? What does this tell us about her ? 2 . 3 . 4 . ( शुरू में भोली एक असमान उम्र के व्यक्ति के साथ शादी के लिए क्यों सहमत हो गई थी ? बाद में उसने शादी से मना क्यों कर दिया ? यह उसके बारे में हमें क्या बताता है ? )
Ans . Bholi agreed to an unequal match because she was an obedient girl . But she rejected the marriage when Bishamber demanded five thousand rupees as dowry . Bholi's father placed his turban at Bishamber's feet . But Bishamber threatened him to go back without marriage . At last , poor father had to fulfil his demand . It was the question of her father's honour . So , she bodly refused to marry a mean , greedy and contemptible man as Bishamber . This tells us that Bholi was confident and brave girl . She can sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of her parents .
4. Bholi's real name is Sulekha . We are told this at the beginning . But only in the last but one paragraph of the story Bholi is called Sulekha again . Why do you think she is called Sulekha at that point in the story ? ( भोली का वास्तविक नाम सुलेखा है । यह हमें कहानी के शुरू में ही बताया जाता है । परन्तु कहानी के अन्त से पहले पैराग्राफ में दुबारा उसे सुलेखा कहा जाता है । आपके विचार से कहानी के उस बिन्दु पर उसे सुलेखा क्यों कहा गया है ? )
Ans . Sulekha was called Bholi since her childhood . Later she became educated and full of confidence 2 at the end . Now she had became mature . She started understanding everything . That is why the author calls her Sulekha to show that she was no longer Bholi - the simpleton.
