Question:

“On the whole, the small society of Rameswaram was very rigid in terms of the segregation of different social groups,” says the author.

(iv) Narrate two incidents that show how differences can be created, and also how they can be resolved. How can people change their attitudes?

Answer:

The first incident took place when Abdul Kalam was in the fifth standard. He used to sit in the front row with Ramanadha Sastry. A new teacher came to school. He could not bear a Muslim boy sitting with a Hindu boy. He asked Abdul Kalam to sit in the back row. The second incident took place when the wife of Abdul Kalam’s science teacher refused to serve food to a Muslim boy in her kitchen. The new teacher and the wife of the science teacher changed their attitude when they were dealt severely by the father of Ramanadha Sastry and the science teacher. We can change this systems if we decide to change it.
