In the lesson ‘Lost Spring’, Saheb and Mukesh are deprived of their  childhood pleasures and education. Noble Peace prize winners Kailash Satyarthi  and Malala Yousafzai have been fighting for the rights of the children. Motivated  by these activists, you write an article on the topic, ‘Evils of child labour and  denial of Education’.  You are Mahesh/Malvika. Write your article in about 125-150  words. Answer: EVILS OF CHILD LABOUR AND DENIAL OF EDUCATION By– Malvika Child labour has been a major problem not only in India but in all developing  countries. It is a great social problem.  We often find children working in dhabas, factories, tea stalls, fields and homes. They  often become ragpickers and street performers. All this deprives children of a normal,  carefree childhood. Schooling becomes a distant dream and a perpetual state of  poverty becomes a reality. Dreams become a mirage.  Child labour is often borne out of the need for survival. Often the reason is to increase  the inc

What contrast do you notice between the colour of the bangles and the  atmosphere of the place where these bangles are made? Answer:  The dusty streets of Firozabad, the bangle making district, are overflowing with  garbage and the stink is overwhelming. The hovels where the bangle makers dwell  have walls that are crumbling down, with unstable doors and no windows. The  conditions are so terrible that families of humans and animals live together. The  drabness and lack of colour in the lives of these people contrast starkly with the colour  of the bangles which lie everywhere—“sunny gold, paddy green, royal blue, pink,  purple, every colour born out of the seven colours of the rainbow”. The unhappiness  and tedium in the lives of the bangle makers contrast the joy and merriment that their  bangles will bring to the women who will buy and wear them.

What did the writer see when Mukesh took her to his home? Answer:  The writer realised that it was a slum area. The lanes were stinking and were  choked with garbage. The homes looked like hovels. Their walls were crumbling. The  doors were wobbly, with no windows. The homes were crowded with humans and  animals living together. Mukesh’s home looked like a half-built shack. In one of its parts,  a firewood stove had a large vessel on it. A frail young woman cooked the evening  meal. She was the wife of Mukesh’s elder brother. As Mukesh’s father came in, she  brought her veil closer to her face. The old man was a poor bangle maker. Even after  long years of hard labour, he had been unable to renovate his house. He was unable to  send his two sons to school. Mukesh’s grandmother was also there. Her husband had  become blind with dust from the polishing of glass bangles.

Describe the circumstances which keep the workers in the bangle industry in  poverty.  [CBSE Delhi 2015] Answer:  The bangle-makers of Firozabad live in utter poverty generation after generation. They believe that they are the people who are destined to work as glass bangle-makers. They make beautiful bangles for women but they live in dark. The workers have to look at the hot bright furnaces while polishing bangles. While welding pieces of coloured glass into bangles they have no other option but are forced to sit near flickering lamps. Hence, they are forced to stay in a dark room and their eyes are not in a position to see the daylight outside. They become blind even before they become adults. Their life is embroiled in a web that is created the moneylenders, middlemen and politicians were Instead of helping them, the law enforcing authorities only prey upon their misfortunes.

The bangle makers of Firozabad make beautiful bangles and make everyone  happy but they live and die in squalor. Elaborate.  [CBSE Delhi 2010] Answer:  The bangle makers of Firozabad live in utter poverty, generation after generation.  They believe that they are the people who are destined to work as glass bangle makers.  They make beautiful bangles for women but they live in the dark. The workers have to  look at the hot bright furnaces while polishing bangles. While welding pieces of coloured  glass into bangles they have no other option but are forced to sit near flickering lamps.  Hence, they are forced to stay in dark room huts and their eyes are not in a position to  see the daylight outside. They become blind quite early in life. They are in a vicious  circle tossed around by moneylenders, middlemen and politicians were Instead of helping  them, the law enforcing authorities only prey on them.

Give a brief account of the life and activities of people like Saheb-e-Alam  settled in Seemapuri.  [CBSE Delhi 2011] Answer:  Saheb is a poor boy belonging to a refugee family from Bangladesh. His family  came to Delhi and settled in the trans-Yamuna area called Seemapuri. Here they have  no work to do. They pick garbage for their livelihood. Saheb also, like others, looks and  searches the garbage dumps for some coins. They leave their houses in the morning  with a bag on their back to collect something from the garbage. They remain barefoot. It  has become their habit not to wear any footwear. The families like Saheb’s left behind a  life of abject poverty in flood-hit areas of Bangladesh and came to India. They move to  big cities in the hope of getting some work. In the absence of work, they begin rag  picking. More Question- How did Franz perform when his turn came to recite? How did M. Hamel react?

‘Lost Spring’ explains the grinding poverty and traditions that condemn  thousands of people to a life of abject poverty. Do you agree? Why/Why not?  [CBSE (AI) 2011] Answer:  Yes, I fully agree that ‘Lost Spring’ explains abject poverty. Saheb-e-Alam came along with  his family from Bangladesh to Delhi. His family settled on the banks of the  Yamuna river. Here, they have no work to do and no house to live in. So they began the  work of rag-picking. His family lives a hand-to-mouth existence. Thus this lesson deals  with the plight of street children like Saheb-e-Alam, and Mukesh of Firozabad working in  a glass bangle factory. The children of such families are forced to labour early in life and  denied the opportunity of going to school. These children are trapped in the vicious  circle of social stigma, tradition, poverty and exploitation. Thus the title of the story  rightly explains and brings out the depravity of child labour in our country. More Question- How did Franz perfo

The barefoot ragpickers of Seemapuri live on the periphery of Delhi yet,  metaphorically speaking, miles away from it. Comment.  [CBSE (AI) 2009C, CBSE (F) 2013] Answer:  The barefoot ragpickers of Seemapuri live on the periphery of Delhi yet,  metaphorically speaking, miles away from it, sums up the true condition of the  ragpickers of Seemapuri. Seemapuri is a slum area, which houses approximately  10,000 ragpickers. They live in mud houses with roofs of tin and tarpaulin. There is no  sewage, drainage or running water. They came here from Bangladesh in 1971 and have  been living here ever since without any identity of their own or permits, but they have  ration cards and their names figure in the voter’s list. Women wear tattered saris.  Survival in Seemapuri means rag picking. This is an example of the gross negligence  and apathy of the Delhi Government. It has failed to do anything for them. Though  Seemapuri is so close to Delhi, almost on its periphery, the glitter and glamour,

How is Mukesh more ambitious in life than Saheb? Give a reasoned answer.  [CBSE (F) 2013] Answer:  Mukesh is definitely more ambitious than Saheb. Unlike most of his friends in Firozabad, Mukesh did not want to follow the profession of making bangles. No one else could dare to think of breaking the conventional style of living. Mukesh dreamt of becoming a motor mechanic. He had already decided to go to a garage and learn about cars. Though the garage was a long way from his home, he was prepared to walk that distance. He insisted on becoming his own master. Saheb, on the other hand, had sacrificed his freedom as a ragpicker to take up a salaried job that would pay him 800 rupees and give him all his meals. Now he was no longer his own master. He had lost his carefree look (which he had when he was a ragpicker). The can that he carried seemed heavier than the bag he carried as a ragpicker, for this job was not to his liking. More Question- How did Franz perform when his turn came to
