Question

Avinash is planning to simulate a Bharud lesson for his high school History class. He has chosen four topics, but is unsure of whether they fall under the lessons that were traditionally tackled by Bharuds. Select the topics that would be suitable for his simulation.

• A. The relations between different religions
• B. Evolution of the human body
• C. The issue of caste discrimination
• D. Celestial bodies and the Earth's trajectory

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The issue of caste discrimination

A Bharud is a metaphorical song that describes a spiritual or ethical lesson. Untouchability and disagreement between different religions were some topics which were dealt with by Bharuds. The evolution of the human body, and the science behind celestial bodies and the Earth's trajectory were perhaps not topics that were the focus of key proponents of Bharuds like Sant Eknath.
