Why the Difference?
Let us talk
Question 1:
Does this kind of thing happen in your house or in any of your friend’s houses? What do you think about this?
Answer:
Yes, this happens in one of my friends’ houses. My friend Riya is supposed to get back home by 6.30 in the evening while her brother is allowed to stay out till 10 o’clock.
This sort of discrimination is very unfair and harsh on girls/women.
Question 2:
Do you think that there should be different rules for girls and boys, women and men?
Answer:
No, I think the rules should be the same for all boys and girls, women and men.
Question 3:
Think – what would happen if girls had to follow the rules made for boys and boys had to follow the rules made for girls?
Answer:
In any case, unequal rules will be unjust to one or the other gender. That’s why it’s best to have the same rules for one and all.
Pilloo Aunty
Question 1:
If you were to write a different ending for this story, how would you end it?
Answer:
If I were to write a different ending for this story, I would end it like the following:
“But Pilloo Aunty paid the money for seven kulfis to the kulfi-seller.
Overwhelmed with Pilloo Aunty’s honesty, the kulfi-seller gave one extra kulfi to her. Pilloo Aunty insisted that she just did what was right, and thus, the kulfi-seller didn’t need to return any favour.”
Question 2:
Is there anyone in your family who is like Pilloo Aunty? Who?
Answer:
Yes, my father and mother are like Pilloo Aunty. They, too, are very honest and never cheat anyone.
Question 3:
What would the children have thought if Pilloo Aunty had paid less money to the kulfi-seller? What do you think about this?
Answer:
If Pilloo Aunty had paid less money to the kulfi-seller, the children would have got the wrong message that it is okay to take advantage of someone and be dishonest. We should always set good examples in front of children, as their thoughts and habits depend on the elders around them.
