Describe Pari’s.woeful tale of life in your own words? How do you feel for her ? परी के जीवन की दुखद कहानी अपने शब्दों में बयान करो। आप उसके प्रति किसप्रकार की भावना रखते हैं ? |
|
Answer» Pari came to the haveli as a child. Geeta’s grandmother-in-law trained her. Winter or summer she had to be up at four in the morning and was busy all the day. When she became a widow she was not allowed to put on coloured saris or bangles. She wore only white or black clothes. Besides supervising the servants, she had to clean the pots of fifty members. She swept the courtyards too. In the afternoon, she pressed Bhabha Sa’s feet. Pari had to clean sacks of grain. Pari was young and loved to talk with the servants. She was not allowed to play with the children of her age. All this makes us feel sympathetic towards her. परी हवेली में एक छोटी सी बच्ची के रूप में आयी थी। गीता की दादी सासू ने उसे काम करना सिखाया। शरद ऋतु हो या गर्मी का मौसम उसे प्रातः चार बजे उठना पड़ता था और सारे दिन व्यस्त रहती थी। जब वह विधवा हो गई तो उसे रंगीन साड़ियाँ और चूड़ियाँ पहनने की इजाजत नहीं थी। वह केवल सफेद या काले वस्त्र ही पहनती थी। नौकरों की देख-रेख के अतिरिक्त पचास सदस्यों के बरतन-भाण्डे उसे साफ करने पड़ते थे। उसे आँगन में भी झाडू लगानी पड़ती थी। तीसरे पहर वह भाभा सा के पैर दबाती थी। उसे अनाज की बोरियाँ साफ करनी होती थी। परी जवान थी और नौकरों से बात करना पसन्द करती थी। उसे उसकी समान आयु के बच्चों के साथ भी नहीं। खेलने दिया जाता था। इस सबसे हमारे अन्दर उसके प्रति सहानुभूति उत्पन्न होती है। |

Describe the significance of Sajjangarh hill during the rule of the Maharana of Mewar. मेवाड़ के महाराजा के शासन काल में सज्जनगढ़ पहाड़ी के महत्व का वर्णन करो। |
|
Answer» Sajjangarh hill lies to the north of Udaipur, then the Capital of Mewar. That time it was covered with a thick forest. It became the home of tigers and leopards where the royalty hunted wild animals. The poor climbed up the steep hill and collected dry twigs and branches or other fuel for their daily needs.There was thick vegetation around the hill – so thick that the paths into the forest could not be seen. सज्जनगढ़ पहाड़ी उदयपुर के उत्तर में है जो उस समय (उदयपुर) मेवाड़ की राजधानी था। तव उस समय यह पहाड़ी घने जंगल से ढकी रहती थी। यह शेरों और तेंदुओं का घर हो गया था। जहां राजा महाराजा इन जंगली जानवरों का शिकार करते थे। गरीब लोग इस सीधी पहाड़ी पर चढ़ जाते थे और सूखी टहनियां तथा शाखाओं को दैनिक ईंधन के रूप में इकट्ठा करते थे। पहाड़ी के चारों ओर घनी वनस्पति होती थी-इतनी घनी कि जंगल के रास्ते भी नहीं देखे जा सकते थे। |

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:Maharana Pratap ruled over Mewar only for 25 years. However, he accomplished so much grandeur during his reign that his glory surpassed the boundaries of countries and time turning him into an immortal personality. He along with his kingdom became a synonym for valour, sacrifice and patriotism.Mewar had been the leading Rajput Kingdom even before Maharana Pratap occupied the throne. Kings of Mewar, with the cooperation of their nobles and subjects, had established such traditions in the kingdom as augmented their magnificence despite the hurdles of having a smaller area under their command and less population. There did come a few thorny occasions when the flag of the kingdom seemed sliding down.Their flag once again flew high in the sky. Thanks to the gallantry and brilliance of the people of Mewar. The destiny of Mewar was good in the sense that barring a few kings, most of the rulers were competent and patriotic. This glorious tradition of the kingdom almost continued for 1500 years since its establishment, right from the region of Bappa Rawal. In fact, only 60 years before Maharana Pratap, Rana Sanga lifted the kingdom to the pinnacle of fame.His reputation went beyond Rajasthan and reached Delhi. Two generations before him, Rana Kumbha had given a new stature to the kingdom through victories and developmental work. During his reign, literature and art also progressed extraordinarily. The Rana himself was inclined towards writing and his works are read with reverence even today.The ambience of his kingdom was conducive to the creation of high-quality work of art and literature. These accomplishments were the outcome of a long-standing tradition sustained by several generations. The life of the people of Mewar must have been peaceful and prosperous during the long span of time; otherwise, such extraordinary accomplishment in these fields would not have been possible. This is reflected in their art and literature as well as their loving nature.They compensate for the lack of admirable physique by their firm but pleasant nature. The ambience of Mewar remains lovely thanks to the cheerful and liberal character of its people. One may observe astonishing pieces of workmanship not only in the forts and palaces of Mewar but also in public utility buildings.Ruins of many structures which are still standing tall in their grandeur are a testimony to the fact that Mewar was not only the land of the brave but also a seat of art and culture. Amidst aggression and bloodshed, literature and art flourished and creative pursuits of litterateurs and artists did not suffer.Imagine, how glorious the period must have been when the Vijaya Stambha which is a glorious example of our great ancient architecture even today, was constructed. In the same fort, Kirti Stambha is standing high, reflecting how liberal the then administration was which allowed people from other communities and kingdoms to come and carry out construction work. It is pointless to indulge in the debate whether the Vijay Stambha was constructed first or the Kirti Stambha.The fact is that both the capitals are standing side by side and reveal the proximity between the king and the subjects of Mewar. The cycle of time does not remain the same. Whereas the reign of Rana Sanga was crucial in raising the kingdom to the acme of glory, it also proved to be his nemesis. History took a turn. The fortune of Mewar – the land of the brave, started waning. The letter, the Ranas tried to save the day with their later acumen which was running against the stream and the glorious traditions for some time.1. How was the life of the people of Mewar?2.

How did Bhabha sa meet her end ? Describe in about one hundred words how her inner feelings reflected on her face.भाभा सा का देहान्त किस प्रकार हुआ ? लगभग सौ शब्दों में वर्णन करें कि उसकी अन्त:भावनायें उसके चेहरे पर किस प्रकार झलकती थीं? |
|
Answer» Bhabha Sa uneasily tossed her head from side to side. From time to time she opened her eye-lids and gazed around her. She recognized her family. Her eyes showed contentment. There was peace on her face as if she had done her worldly duties to her entire satisfaction. Her lips muttered Ram Ram. There was no panic at the arrival of death. She was aware of feminine etiquette to the last. She insisted the maids to cover her face before the doctor. People came and went but the close relatives stayed on. On the second day of the heart attack, her end came early in the morning. भाभा सा कष्ट पाकर एक करवट से दूसरी करवट अपना सिर उछाल रही थीं। समय-समय पर वह अपनी आँखों की पुतलियों को खोलती थीं और चारों ओर देखती र्थी। वह अपने परिवार को पहचानती थीं। उनकी आँखों में सन्तोष दीखता था। उनके चेहरे पर शांति थी मानो उन्होंने अपने सांसारिक कर्तव्यों को पूर्ण सन्तुष्टि से किया है। उनके होठों से राम राम निकल रहा था। मृत्यु का कोई भय नहीं था। अन्तिम सांस तक उन्हें स्त्री शिष्टाचार को ज्ञान रहा। उन्होंने नौकरानियों पर इसी बात पर जोर दिया कि डॉक्टर के सामने उनका सिर ढककर रखे। लोग आते रहे जाते रहे परन्तु निकट सम्बन्धी वहीं रुके रहे। हृदय घात के दूसरे दिन ही प्रातः काल उनका देहान्त हो गया। |

How can you say that the inter-personnel relationship between the Maharana of Mewar and his people was an ideal one? आप कैसे कह सकते हैं कि मेवाड़ के महाराणा और उनकी प्रजा के बीच आन्तरिक सूझ-बूझ और सम्बन्ध आदर्श थे ? |
|
Answer» The white-granite palace in which the Maharana held his court stood on a hill site near the humble huts and houses of the people. This shows that the Maharana loved his people as his children. The people looked on the lights of the palace and heard the trumpet of the elephants. They were assured that their king was there to ensure their safety and prosperity. The people were sad as the flag of Mewar came down and the Maharana lost his power. He could no longer give land to his poor people. People still remember the days when the Maharana sat on the throne and received the rich and the poor equally. सफेद ग्रेनाइट से निर्मित महल में जहाँ महाराणा अपना दरबार लगाते थे वह लोगों की मामूली झोंपड़ियों और घरों के पास एक टीले पर स्थित था। इससे प्रतीत होता है कि महाराणा अपनी प्रजा को अपने बच्चों की तरह चाहते थे। लोग महल के प्रकाश की ओर देखते थे और हाथियों की चिंघाड़ सुनते थे। उन्हें विश्वास था कि उनके राजा उनकी सुरक्षा और समृद्धि को सुनिश्चित करने के लिये मौजूद हैं। लोग बड़े दुःखी हुए जब मेवाड़ का झण्डा उतारा गया और महाराणा की शक्ति समाप्त हो गई। वह अब अपनी निर्धन प्रजा को जमीन नहीं दे सकते थे। लोग अभी भी उन दिनों को याद करते हैं जब महाराणा अपने राज सिंहासन पर बैठते थे और अमीर तथा गरीब सभी का समान रूप से स्वागत करते थे। |

Why did Lakshmi scold Sarju for her greed ? लक्ष्मी ने सरजू को उसके लालची होने पर क्यों डांटा ? |
|
Answer» Sarju was the midwife of the haveli. She helped the maids of the haveli at the time of delivery. She massaged the young mistress Geeta as well as Lakshmi. One day Sarju got unusually late in coming to Lakshmi. More so Lakshmi was feeling severe pain. She thought that she (Sarju) might be flattering Geeta to get more precious gift on the occasion of Vijay’s birth celebration. So she scolded her for being greedy. सरजू हवेली की दाई थी। बच्चा जनने के समय वह नौकरानियों की सहायता करती थी। वह युवा मालकिन और लक्ष्मी दोनों की मालिश करती थी। एक दिन लक्ष्मी के पास आने में उसे असाधारण विलम्ब हो गया। इससे भी बड़ा कारण यह था कि लक्ष्मी को बहुत तेज दर्द हो रहा था। उसने सोचा कि सरजू विजय के जन्म की खुशियां मनाने के पर्व पर अधिक अच्छा उपहार लेने के लिये युवा मालकिन की खुशामद कर रही होगी। अतः उसने उसे लालची होने के कारण फटकारा। |

Describe the old city of Udaipur surrounded by bastioned wall. पुराने उदयपुर नगर का वर्णन कीजिए जो (सुरक्षा की दृष्टि से उभरे हुए झरोंकों से युक्त) दीवार से घिरा हुआ है। |
|
Answer» The old city of Udaipur is surrounded by a bastioned wall. There are four huge gates with metal spikes – Surajpole, Chandpole, Udaipole and Hathipole. The Western side is bounded by Pichola lake. To the north is the Sajjangarh hill once covered with dense forest, the home of the tigers and the leopards. There is only one main road which leads to the grand palace. There are many havelis made of white marbles and red stones. पुराना उदयपुर नगर एक सुरक्षित दीवार से घिरा हुआ है। इसमें चार बड़े दरवाजे हैं जिनके किवाड़ों पर धातु की नुकीली कीलें लगी हैं-सूरज पोल, चांद पोल, उदय पोल और हाथी पोल। पश्चिमी दिशा पिचोला झील से घिरी हुई है। उत्तर की ओर कभी घने जंगल से ढकी हुई सज्जनगढ़ की पहाड़ी है जो कभी शेर और तेंदुओं का घर थी। वहाँ एक ही मुख्य सड़क है जो सीधी महल को जाती है। वहाँ सफेद संगमरमर तथा लाल पत्थर की बनी हुई बहुते सी हवेलियाँ हैं। |
|

A new township has developed outside the old city wall. Describe the new township and people living there. पुराने नगर की दीवार के बाहर एक नया नगर विकसित हो गया है। नये नगर और वहाँ के लोगों का वर्णन करो। |
|
Answer» In the new township there are rows of neat and clean houses on both sides of the broad tarmac roads. There is no foul smell of cow dung, urine puddles and smoke pollution. In their houses some people maintain rose gardens. The people in the new township are self centered. All have settled here for their livelihood. They know nothing about the soil and culture of Mewar. The only common thing is that both the rich and the poor can use the tarmac road. नई नगरी में कोलतार से बनी चौड़ी सड़कों के दोनों ओर साफ-सुथरे मकानों की कतारें हैं। गाय के गोबर, मूत्र से भरे छोटे-छोटे गड्ढों की बदबू नहीं है और धुएँ का प्रदूषण नहीं है। अपने मकानों में कुछ लोग गुलाबों की वाटिकायें रखते हैं। नई आबादी में लोग स्वार्थी हैं। यहाँ सभी लोग अपनी रोजी रोटी के लिये आकर बसे हैं। मेवाड़ की मिट्टी और संस्कृति के बारे में वे कुछ नहीं जानते। उनमें मिलती-जुलती बस एक ही बात है कि दोनों अमीर और गरीब कोल तार की सड़कों का समान आजादी से उपयोग कर सकते हैं। |

Why was Lakshmi not happy marrying Ganga Ram ? गंगा राम से विवाह करके लक्ष्मी खुश क्यों नहीं थी ? |
|
Answer» Lakshmi was married to Gangaram against her will. Gangaram was poor and ugly. He had a crooked nose on his pocked marked dark-complexioned face. But he was gentle, soft spoken and kind. Laskhmi disliked his short temper and dirty looks. He always put on tattered clothes. His mouth always gave out foul smell of smoking. Lakshmi always blamed her mistress for marrying her to a poor and ugly man. लक्ष्मी का विवाह गंगाराम से उसकी मर्जी के विरुद्ध किया गया। गंगाराम गरीब और बदसूरत था। उसके चेचक के निशान वाले सांवले चेहरे पर टेढ़ी मेढ़ी नाक र्थी। लेकिन वह भला था, मधुर बोलता था और दयालु था। लक्ष्मी उसके गुस्सा करने के स्वभाव और गन्दा रहने को पसन्द नहीं करती थी। वह सदैव फटे-पुराने कपड़े पहनता था। उसके मुँह से सदा धूम्रपान की बदबू आती थी। लक्ष्मी हमेशा अपनी मालकिन से उसका विवाह एक गरीब और बदसूरत आदमी से करने की शिकायत करती थी। |

|
Answer» In the evening of the singing and dancing programme, Dhapu led Geeta quietly to a place from where she could see the programme of the famous female singer from Jodhpur. Dhapu told Geeta that she sang for men only. Geeta heard a woman clear her throat. Geeta tried to see the singer through the window, but failed. The singer raised her voice to the right pitch. It was clear, melodious and sweet. She started with a song of chivalry. It recalled the bravery of the Rajput warriors ready to go to the battlefield. The song echoed through the hall and the heart of the hearers. नृत्य और संगीत के प्रोग्राम की संध्या को धापू, गीता को एक ऐसे स्थान पर चुपचाप ले गई जहाँ से वह जोधपुर की प्रसिद्ध गायिका का प्रोग्राम देख सके। धापू ने गीता को बताया कि वह केवल पुरुषों के लिये गाती है। गीता ने एक स्त्री को गला साफ करते सुना। गीता ने गायिका को खिड़की से देखने की कोशिश की परन्तु असफल रही। गायिका ने अपनी आवाज को उचित लय तक उठाया। वह आवाज स्पष्ट तथा मधुर थी। उसने वीरता के गीत से शुरू किया। उसके गीत ने राजपूत योद्धाओं की वीरता की याद दिला दी जब वे रणभूमि में जाने को तैयार होते थे। गीत पूरे भवन में और श्रोतागणों के हृदय में गूंज उठा। |

|
Answer» Bhagwat Singh Ji and his wife treated the maids as their own children. They fulfilled their needs and held a protecting hand over their heads. The result was that they were attached to the interest of the haveli physically, emotionally and mentally. In the hour of need none of them shirked work. If a relative uttered even a word against the mistress, they felt bad. They were always ready to work from dawn to dusk. भगवत सिंह जी और उसकी पत्नी सेविकाओं को अपने बच्चों की तरह समझते थे। वे उनकी जरूरतों को पूरा करते थे और उनके सर पर एक सुरक्षा प्रदान करने वाला हाथ रखते थे। परिणाम यह होता था कि वे हवेली के हित से शारीरिक, मानसिक और भावनात्मक ढंग से जुड़ी रहती थीं। जरूरत के समय कोई भी काम से जी नहीं चुराती थीं। यदि मालकिन के खिलाफ कोई एक शब्द भी कह देता था तो उन्हें चुभन महसूस होती थी। वे सदैव सुबह से शाम तक काम करने को तैयार रहती थीं। |

Then Dhapu told her to put the coconut, the fruits and sweets at the feet of the goddess. Then all the women and children sang the hymns in honour of the goddess and Geeta ji waved earthen diyas around the head of the goddess. The sweet smell of the incense filled the room. All raised slogans in praise of the goddess. अपनी सासुमां की अनुपस्थिति में गीता जी को लक्ष्मी देवी की पूजा करनी थी। आधी रात को गंगा सेविका उठी और बरामदे में सोई हुई सभी महिलाओं को जगा दिया। उनिंदी स्त्रियां छोटे से प्रार्थना-कक्ष में चली गईं और हाथ जोड़कर खड़ी हो गईं। धापू ने बिन्नी जी को देवी के माथे पर रोली लगाने को कहा। गीता ने वैसा ही किया जैसे उन्हें बताया गया था। तब धापू ने उन्हें (गीता को) नारियल, फल और मिठाई देवी के चरणों में रखने के लिये कहा। सभी बच्चों और महिलाओं ने देवी के सम्मान में भजन गाये तथा गीता ने देवी के चेहरे के चारों ओर दियों को घुमाया अर्थात् आरती की। अगरबत्ती, धूप बत्ती की मधुर सुगंध ने कमरे को भर दिया। देवी की जय जयकार में सभी ने नारे लगाये। |

How did Geeta start classes for the poor children ?हवेलियों के गरीब बच्चों के लिये गीता ने कक्षायें कैसे शुरू की ? |
|
Answer» One morning a boy named Ravi came to Geeta’s room with the other servants’ children. On being asked, Ravi told Geeta that he could not go to school because he was an orphan. Touched by the boy’s dead, vacant eyes, Geeta asked him to come in the morning if he was interested in learning. Within two days boys and girls from the servants’ quarters began to come to Geeta’s room and the small school had its beginning. एक सुबह रवि नाम का एक लड़का नौकरों के बच्चों के साथ गीता जी के कमरे पर आ गया। पूछे जाने पर रवि . ने गीता को बताया कि वह स्कूल नहीं जा सका क्योंकि वह अनाथ है। लड़के की उदास और लाचार आँखों से द्रवित होकर गीता ने उसे सुबह आने को कहा यदि वह पढ़ाई में रुचि रखता है। दो दिन के अन्दर ही नौकरों के कमरों से लड़के, लड़कियाँ गीता के कमरे पर आने लगे तथा यह छोटा-सा स्कूल आरंभ हो गया। |

Why maids and mistress were not in favour of sending Sita to school ?सेविकाएँ तथा मालकिन सीता को स्कूल भेजने के पक्ष में क्यों नहीं थी ? |
|
Answer» The mistress of the haveli was quite old-fashioned in her thoughts, and couldn’t agree to the idea of a servant’s child going to school. Moreover the other servants resented the idea that gave Sita this extra privilege: Some women were of the view that servants’ daughters should serve in the haveli, so that physical labour would enable them to adapt to the village life which they were to lead later in life. हवेली की मालिकिन पारम्परिक विचारों की थीं। वह एक नौकरानी के बच्चे के स्कूल जाने के विचार से सहमत नहीं हो पायी। इसके अतिरिक्त, अन्य नौकरानियों को यह विचार ठीक नहीं लगा जिससे सीता को उनके बच्चों की अपेक्षा अधिक सुविधा मिले। कुछ स्त्रियों की यह राय थी कि नौकरों के बच्चों को हवेली में काम करना चाहिए जिससे शारीरिक श्रम उन्हें गाँव के जीवन के लिए अभ्यस्त बना दे जिसे उन्हें भविष्य में जीना था। |

Which tact did Bhagwat Singh ji’s wife adopt to stop Geeta from sending Sita to school ? भगवत सिंह जी की पत्नी ने सीता को स्कूल भेजने से रोकने के लिये गीता के साथ क्या चालाकी अपनाई? |
|
Answer» Bhagwat Singh ji’s wife told Geeta that to become one with the family one must learn to listen to the elders. After a moment of silence, she said, “Binniji, once a girl has gone to school, she will never take a broom in her hand. I was thinking of your comfort, Binniji. I would marry Sita to one of the servant boys and both of them would serve you. You do not understand that, when she is getting useful to you in the house, you are thinking to send her to school.” भगवत सिंह जी की पत्नी ने गीता को बताया कि परिवार के साथ मिलकर एक बनने में बड़ों की बातें सुननी पड़ती हैं। एक क्षण की चुप्पी के बाद उसने कहा, “बिन्नी जी, एक बार जब एक लड़की स्कूल चली जाती है। तो वह कभी भी अपने हाथ में झाडू नहीं पकड़ती है। मैं तो तुम्हारे आराम के बारे में सोच रही थी। बिन्नी जी, मैं सीता का विवाह नौकरों के किसी लड़के से कर देंगी और वे दोनों तुम्हारी सेवा करेंगे। तुम नहीं समझती कि जब वह घर में काम करने के लिये लाभदायक हो रही है तुम उसे स्कूल भेजने की सोच रही हो।” |

Describe the singing and dancing festivity at ‘Jeevan Niwas’ on the birth celebration of Geeta’s daughter. गीता की लड़की के जन्म पर नाच-गाने की खुशी का वर्णन करें। |
|
Answer» The feasting on the birth celebration of Geeta’s daughter was over by the afternoon. A group of professional singers arrived. As the singing gathered momentum, the young married girls with their veiled faces danced with great enthusiasm. Even the maid servants and senior ladies did not lag behind in turning and twisting their limbs. They swirled their skirts. गीता की लड़की के जन्म पर दावत तीसरे पहर तक समाप्त हो गई। पेशावर गायिकाओं का एक समूह पहुँच गया। जैसे गाना अपनी पूरी तान पर पहुँच गया तो विवाहित युवा लड़कियाँ पूँघट निकाल कर अत्यन्त जोश खरोश से नाचीं। नौकरानियाँ और ज्येष्ठ स्त्रियाँ भी अपने शरीर के अंगों को नाचते समय मरोड़ने और मोड़ने में पीछे नहीं रहीं। उन्होंने अपने घाघरों को घुमा कर फिरकी बना दिया। |

What was Pari’s chief advice to Geeta on her way to “Jivan Niwas” ? जीवन निवास’ जाते हुए परी की गीता को क्या मुख्य सलाह थी ? |
|
Answer» Pari solemnly advised Geeta to keep her face always covered. On the way she pointed to various houses and havelies which belonged to one or the other close relatives of her husband. A confused Geeta wondered that the whole city belonged to her in-laws. All the other chief maids filled her mind with the norms and etiquettes of the haveli ‘Jivan Niwas’. परी ने गीता को गम्भीरता से समझाया कि वह अपना चेहरा सदा ढक कर रखे। रास्ते में जाते समय उसने अनेकों मकानों और हवेलियों की ओर इशारा किया जिसके स्वामी उसके पति के कोई न कोई सम्बन्धी थे। हैरान गीता ने सोचा कि समस्त शहर उसके ससुरालियों का है। अन्य सभी मुख्य सेविकाओं ने उसके मस्तिष्क को हवेली ‘जीवन निवास’ के सिद्धान्तों और शिष्टाचारों से भर दिया। |

What was Bhagwat Singh ji’s reaction when he came to know of Heeralal’s misbehaviour with Lakshmi ? भगवत सिंह जी की क्या प्रतिक्रिया थी जब उन्हें लक्ष्मी के प्रति हीरालाल के दुर्व्यवहार का पता चला ? |
|
Answer» When Bhagwat Singh ji came to know that Heeralal had misbehaved with Lakshmi, he got furious. He called him a rascal. He ordered him to leave the haveli and never show his face again. He told him that he had been brought up since his childhood in the haveli, and he had dared to take the honour of an innocent woman. However, after Heeralal’s repeated pleas for forgiveness, he relented and let him off with a stern warning. जब भगवत सिंह जी को पता लगा कि हीरालाल ने लक्ष्मी के साथ दुर्व्यवहार किया है तो वह गुस्से से आग बबूला हो गये। उन्होंने उसे बदमाश कही। उन्होंने उसे हवेली छोड़ने और अपनी मुँह कभी भी न दिखाने के लिये कहा। उन्होंने उसे बताया कि उसे बचपन से हवेली में पाला गया था और उसने एक भोली-भाली स्त्री की इज्जत लेने की कोशिश की है। फिर भी हीरालाल की बार-बार क्षमायाचना के बाद वे नरम पड़ गये और उन्होंने उसे एक कठोर चेतावनी के बाद छोड़ दिया। |

How did Gokul’s behaviour change when he saw Vijay Bai and Sita among the unripe mango pickers? गोकुल का व्यवहार कैसे बदल गया जब उसने विजय बाई सा तथा सीता को कच्चे आम इकट्ठा करने वाले बच्चों के बीच पाया ? |
|
Answer» When Gokul saw Vijay Bai sa and Sita, he lowered his stick and reverently folded his hands. He politely said, “Vijay Bai saheb, do not eat the unripe mangoes. You will have a sore throat. Those wicked children leave nothing to ripen. They carry everything to their mothers who grow fat on stolen mangoes. One day worms will eat their bodies. Then they will learn that stealing is a sin.” जब गोकुल ने विजय बाई सा और सीता को देखा तो उसने अपनी छड़ी नीचे कर ली और सम्मान से अपने हाथ जोड़ दिये। उसने विनम्रता से कहा, “विजय बाई साहब, कच्चे आम मत खाओ। तुम्हारा गला खराब हो जायेगा। वे मक्कार बच्चे पकने के लिये कुछ भी नहीं छोड़ते। वे सब कुछ उठाकर अपनी माँ के पास ले जाते हैं, जो चुराये हुए आम खाकर मोटी हो रही हैं। एक दिन उनके शरीर को कीड़े खाएँगे। तब वे समझेंगे कि चोरी करना पाप है।” |

How did maids of Jivan Niwas’ react to Geeta’s classes for the poor?‘जीवन निवास’ की सेविकाओं ने गीता की गरीबों के लिये कक्षाओं के प्रति क्या प्रतिक्रिया की ? |
|
Answer» Geeta started teaching with a single boy, Ravi. After two days more boys and girls from the servants’ quarters came up to join the classes. The children listened to Geeta’s stories and then learned the alphabet. Soon the young maids from the havelies came and joined the children. Gradually they found the alphabet easy to learn. But Dhápu felt that the married maids and the maids having children could never learn. गीता ने एक लड़के रवि को पढ़ाना शुरू कर दिया। दो दिन के बाद नौकरों के क्वार्टर्स में और अधिक लड़के और लड़कियों ने आना शुरू कर दिया। बच्चे गीता से कहानियां सुनते थे और तत्पश्चात् अक्षर ज्ञान प्राप्त करते थे। शीघ्र ही दूसरी हवेलियों से युवा सेविकाएं आती थीं और बच्चों में शामिल हो जाती थीं। धीमे-धीमे उन्हें अक्षर सीखना सरल लगा। परन्तु धापू को लगा कि विवाहित और बच्चों वाली कभी नहीं सीख सकती थीं। |
