The new teacher compels the students to wear cap
|
Detailed explanation-1: -One day when I was in the fifth standard at the Rameshwaram Elementary School, a new teacher came to our class. I used to wear a cap which marked me as a Muslim, and I always sat in the front row next to Ramanadha Shastri, who wore the sacred thread.
Detailed explanation-2: -Solution : When Kalam was in the standard fifth then a new teacher came. He found a Muslim student sitting beside a Hindu student. He could not stomach a Hindu priest’s son sitting with a Muslim boy. In accordance with his social ranking a new teacher saw it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: new teacher at the Rameswaram Elementary School could not tolerate that Kalam, a Muslim, sat with Ramanadha Sastry, a Hindu wearing the sacred thread. This was contrary to the teacher’s notion of social ranking. So, he ordered Kalam to sit on the back bench.
Detailed explanation-4: -But his new teacher behaved strangely. He came to his class and asked him to sit in the last row. He could not tolerate sitting of a Muslim boy with the son of a Hindu priest.
