Answer» Context: On his way to Ranikhet by train the writer was surrounded at a station by some children who were selling baskets and fans. The parents of these children were refugees who had to come to India from Pakistan at the time of partition. Explanation : In these lines the writer says that the children selling baskets were the sons and daughters of these refugees. These people were very poor. So they gathered in the cities for earning some money. They put the wooden stalls on both sides of the roads. They made simple articles and sold them in the market. There were already many shops.
