Detailed explanation-1: -His orthodox wife was totally horrified at the idea of a Muslim boy dining in her ritually pure kitchen. He did not mind anything said by his very conservative wife. He rather served the food to Abdul by his own hands.
Detailed explanation-2: -However, the science teacher’s wife refused to serve Kalam because she believes in religious segregation.
Detailed explanation-3: -An orthodox Brahmin, Sivasubramania Iyer, was Kalam’s science teacher in school. He was a very tolerant and broad-minded person. He was a rebel who wished to bring about a transformation in the society and was mentally prepared to confront hindrances during this process.
Detailed explanation-4: -Though his science teacher was an orthodox Hindu, he broke the social barriers and mixed with other religions and communities. He invited Abdul home and served him meals and even sat and ate with him. On the contrary, his wife was conservative and refused to serve Abdul. Was this answer helpful?
