Question

How is Mukesh's attitude to his situation different from that of his family?

Answer 1

Mukesh’s grandmother is of the view that the god-given lineage of being a bangle-maker can’t be broken. His family members have seen nothing but bangles.

Mukesh’s father has taught them only what he knows—the art of bangle-making. However, Mukesh wants to be a motor mechanic. He plans to go to a garage and learn, even though it is far away from his home. In this way, Mukesh’s attitude to his situation is different from that of his family.
