“My childhood”?
Answer:
A.PJ. Abdul Kalam tells us that his family was a Tamil middle class family
from Rameshwaram. His father Jainulabdeen was not much educated, wasn’t
rich but was generous, wise, simple man
but very strict and severe. His mother Ashiamma was a generous lady, and
used to feed unlimited numbers of people in their home. Kalam’s family
respected all religions. They took part in Hindu festivals. His mother and
grandmother told him stories from Ramayana. They always showered their
love on their children and never forced their thoughts on them.
14. Question 2:
What incident took place at the Rameshwaram Elementary School when a
new teacher came to the class ?
Answer:
Kalam used to wear a cap and Ramanandha Shastry wore a sacred thread
which marked him to be a Brahmin. When the new teacher came he could not
tolerate a Hindu priest’s son sitting with a Muslim boy. He ordered Kalam to
go and sit on the back bench. This made Ramanandha sad. Abdul started to
sit in the last row but it left a bad impression on Abdul. Both the kids narrated
the incident to their parents. As a result the teacher was rebuked and
reprimanded for spreading communalism and hatred among children.
15. Question 3:
How did Abdul Kalam earn his “first wages” ? How did he feel at that time?
Answer:
Kalam was only 8 years old when the second world war broke out in 1939.
Then there was a great demand for tamarind seeds. Abdul used to collect
those seeds and sell them in the market. His cousin Shamsuddin distributed
newspapers. The train would not stop at Rameshwaram and the bundles of
newspapers were thrown from the running train. Abdul was employed by his
cousin to collect them. This way he earned his first wages. He felt very proud
on earning his first wage.
16. Question 4:
“Once you decide to change the system, such problems have to be
confronted.” What system is being refer in the sentence from the chapter “My
Childhood”? What are such problems ?
Answer:
System means system of discrimination on the basis of religion. The system
includes the narrow-mindedness and poison of social inequality and
communal intolerance. The Brahmins did not allow Muslims to enter their
kitchen. The science teacher – a rebel by nature, invited Kalam to his home
and proved that if one is determined to face problems and change the system,
he will definitely succeed. Though, such indifferences come in everybody’s life
but a person should have a broader outlook and overcome the obstacles.
17. Question 5:
How was the Science teacher Siva Subramaniam Iyer, though an orthodox.
Brahmin with a very conservative wife, a friend of Abdul Kalam. Give incidents
to support your answer.
Answer:
The Science teacher, Siva Subramaniam Iyer, wanted to break the social
barriers between the Hindus and the Muslims. He wanted Kalam to be very
highly educated as he recognized his intelligence. One day, he invited him
over to a meal. His orthodox wife was totally horrified at the idea of a Muslim
boy dining in her ritually pure kitchen. He did not mind anything said by his
very conservative wife. He rather served the food to Abdul by his own hands.
He also sat with him and dined together as well as invited him over again for
another meal the coming weekend. Thus, this shows that he was a friend of
Abdul Kalam even though Kalam was a Muslim and he himself was an
orthodox Brahmin.
