C. 1. LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS :

Q. 1. 'Father cares more for money than for me'. Why does Padma say so? Have you ever felt like Padma ? Explain.

Ans. Padma was the only daughter of her parents. Her father was thinking according to the culture of the society in which girls are to marriage with paying money and joys. So her father was caring her money and collecting for her marriage. Padma was not happy with her father for his such behaviour. So, she says so. No, I have ever felt like Padma. 

Q. 2. What, according to Padma's father, is the identity of a woman? Do you agree with him?

Ans. According to Padma's father the marriage is the identity of a woman. No, I do not agree with him. According to me the marriage should be necessary for the creation of the society but it does not give the identity of the woman. A woman can also develop her identity without having her marriage. We know some personalities like Lata Mangeskar, Asha Parekh, Mother Teressa etc. Who love their identity without having their marriage.

Q. 3. What question did Padma ask that her mother calls senseless? Why did Padma's mother call it senseless? Explain.

Q. 4. What is the injustice that Padma talked about? 

Ans. A woman whose husband is dead her life is hell for her is the injustice that Padma talked about.

Q. 5. Sketch the character of Padma.

Ans. Padma is a young educated girl. She feels aggrieved and agitated by the uncharitably orthodox attitude of the society towards women. She wants to know that if there is equal powers for man and woman, then why marriage is only identity for a woman. Why an unmarried man is venerated and called a saint while an unmarried woman is called immoral and wanton. Though she is a child of her parents but she is not happy to her father who collects money for her.

Q. 6. Padma's mother is the true image of a typical traditional woman. Elaborate.

Ans. Padma's mother knew that her identity was linked with her husband and she has cherished the bond. She knew that there is no imagine of a woman without a husband. A woman is identified only if with her husband. If her husband is dead.her life is hell for her. She also knew that women have no right to ask questions. These are the examples which show that Padma's mother is the image of a typical traditional woman.

Q. 7. Discuss the main idea contained in the text.

Ans. The main idea in the text is the identity of a woman. 'Dharam Juddha' is a traditional story in which a women is identified through her husband after marriage. If her husband is dead her life is hell for her. She has no rights to ask questions and has to obey the orders. Padma an educated girl has no similar feelings like her mother. She wants to know that if marriage is not happened for a girl has she no identity in the society. She knows that a woman has similar rights in the society like a man has rights to produce her identity without having marriage.

Q. 8. Why is the lesson called "Dharam Juddha" ? Give reasons. 

Ans. This lesson is discussion of a family whose parents have only daughter. The daughter asks them some questions related to the identity of the woman. She is also not happy to her father who cares more for money than for her. Her mother a traditional lady was not happy to her daughter's questions and does not agree with her. So the lesson is called 'Dharam Juddha".

C. 2. GROUP DISCUSSION :

Q. 1. An unmarried man is venerated and called a saint, while an unmarried woman is called immoral and wanton. Is it justified ?

Ans. No, it is not justified. In the society both have similar rights to alive, so such difference is not justified.

Q. 2. Both men and women are equally important for the human society. Do you agree?

Ans. Yes, I am agree with the fact that both men and women are equally important for the human society. We cannot imagine a society in absence of anyone in the both. For the creation of new generation and regularities of societies. There is necessary the presence of both. 

C. 3. COMPOSITION :

Q. 1. Write a paragraph in about 100 words on the status of women in our society.

Ans. According to our constitution both man and woman have equals rights. There is not any barrier in the society for the women. But the typical traditional culture and the uncharitably orthodox attitude of the society try to oppose the contributions of the women in the society. Somewhere, there is different between girls and boy in the society which is not true in fact. A society can be developed if all of the persons can contribute for the society. Some persons think that men are to go out and women are to live in home, which is not justice. Both men and women should got equal rights to develop the society. A country is still developed where there is all women and men are developed.

Q. 2. Write a letter to your friend, emphasising equality between men and women.

Ans.

Dear Ranjeet Kumar

Chhotaipatti 01.07.2022

I have just received your letter and heartiest pleased to read it. You have detailed about a gril who has stood first in your class. Really I am greatful to read it and congratulating that girl who has stood first in your class. I feel that if girls make free to do their works freely they can do better. A society always runs upon the soldiers of the both men and women. If one of them will weak the society will also be weak. An educated girl can do better not only in her class and society but she also contributes as a good and responsible mother, sister and daughter. So, there is need of giving the chance both boys and girls to contribute for the society. Our constitutions has also given the similar rights for both and government has proposed many kinds of programmes for the girls. We should co-operate the government's programme for the girls and develop our society.

Lastly, I congtratulate your's class topper and thinking you to give such information.

With lot of love and good wishes.

Darbhanaga, Bihar

Your loving friend
